Misgendering is denying someone's identity, one step shy from dehumanization. Which is why rape, forced castration, forced hospitalizations, ostracization and, yes, death camps all happened.
Oh yeah because LGBT people never ever were mistreated, ostracized, put in camps & exterminated 👍
well no, but neither are some of the examples in the meme (such as solaris), it's still UNIX though
I can't get out of my head that he -- and nearly everyone who follows that shit -- is blackmailed into doing so
Would you defend the victim similarly if the attacker was black and the victim used the n-word?
No one is trying to protect a domestic abuser from the consequences of their action.
By misgendering, you're not only attacking the dignity of the offender -- which no one would care to rectify you for -- but also attacking the dignity of every trans person.
Which is why we're telling you that you should not, and I doubt Lemmy will be a welcoming place for you if you cannot be respectful to maginalized groups.
She's right to. Both misgendering and the n-word are violent denial to the dignity of a marginalized group of people
Well there is also macos
Holy shit, I knew about the "magic trick" girl and thought he was a quirky funny man, but assaulting an artist to force them to work for free? What a fucking asshole
Well, considering they got booted off lemmy.world for insisting & defending misgendering someone, I doubt they'd last a minute on beehaw
