- philjohn 7y agoI never call women "dude" period, because "dude" is literally a moniker applied to men, that's its etymology. Deliberately misgendering someone goes beyond just tacky and into offensive. That's not a liberal thing, that's just a human decency thing. He was unbanned anyway. The problem is, a lot of the people who seem to take issue with someone choosing to be transgender seem to extract perverse glee from tormenting them deliberately.
- ev0lv 7y ago>>Deliberately misgendering someone goes beyond just tacky and into offensive. Strong disagree. You need to consider what is actually offensive, and when labeling it so is simply hyperbole. Boy who cried wolf.
- philjohn 7y agoYou're free to disagree, but you're wrong. Gender identity and how someone refers to themselves is a core part of their identity. Deliberately (as in, going out of your way, not as a mistake, but as a conscious act) is indeed offensive. And moreover there's zero need for it, unless your purpose is to cause offense.
