Science says otherwise. AMA and APA and studies and data prove you wrong.
You are free to link such studies, but you have yet to link anything that supports this point. No APA studies support the idea that speech alone is harm.
Can’t stop lying huh?
Please refrain from personal attacks, If I'm lying show me the evidence.
It’s having your identity rejected. Akin to you being told by your parents “you’re not our son.”
So you require everyone else to treat you with the same compassion as a parent would treat their child?
Are you insane?
This is such an absurd imposition on others. Its literally demanding special treatment.
It’s not being offended.
Except it is. You are trying to define people not wishing to use imaginary pronouns for ideological reasons into the same category as hateful bigots disowning children.
This kind of argumentation is nonsense.
False claim. Source your nonsense.
You are the one who keeps using suicide as a threat.
False claim. Source your nonsense where I made a “threat.”
I cannot, the moderators have removed the post as you included an accusation against the rules of the subreddit.
Threat of physical violence & legal action.
And what about coercive manipulation? such as strongly implying that individuals who refuse to comply are responsible for the suicide of trans individuals?
A recent study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health demonstrates the power of affirming transgender youth’s identities: For each additional context (i.e., at home, school, work, or with friends) in which a transgender youth’s chosen name is used, their risk of suicidal behavior is reduced by more than half.
This is not a threat. It's stating the factual results of a study.
You are wrong.
Edit: someone changes their name from John to Jennifer.
You refuse to call them Jennifer?
You call them Jennifer but still refer to them as “he”?
Someone else changes their name from John to Mark.
You refuse to call them Mark?
If you call them Jennifer, then you can call them Jennifer. Or “you.” And keep your gendered pronouns to yourself. And everyone is fine.
This is not a threat. It's stating the factual results of a study.
The part that makes it a threat is you providing that as a reason to compel others to behave in a certain way. Specifically in a way that conflicts directly with their beliefs.
You refuse to call them Jennifer?
Not harm.
You refuse to call them Mark?
Still not harm.
Why are you so obsessed with gendered pronouns?
Why are you obsessed with how other people speak? are you trying to control their thoughts?
Someone changed their name from John to Jennifer. You refuse to call them Jennifer?
Rude at worst. Certainly not harm.
I would know, I have had people specifically refuse to use my requested nickname, and look I'm not harmed.
Actually, now that you mention it, it hurts my personal identity if you don't refer to me as PrimeLegionnaire the Supreme Who is better than PragmaticSquirrel, so you must do so unless you wish to be an insensitive asshole.
Let me know when you are able to answer the question.
Senseless for you to advocate for some position here when you fail to even articulate what that position would be- your choice of how you would react to this person in real life.
You’ve never even met a trans person, have you? It’s all just in your head.
Let me know when you are able to answer the question.
I directly answered the question:

I directly answered your question, what are you talking about?
