Why? Choosing not to use someone's prefered pronouns is just hurtful and disrespectful. You might choose to ignore the scientific evidence around transidentity being a thing, but willingly antagonizing people on this subject is another story.
- sgt 6y agoNo, forcing you to comply is actually mostly unnecessary and confusing. Let's say I start a religion (similar to Flying Spaghetti Monster) and I require everyone to use the "it" pronoun. I'm not a he, I'm an it! And if you ever forget, I'll come down with my army of Twitter followers and cancel you.
- Pelic4n 6y ago>I'm not a he, I'm an it! If it causes serious distress to you (just like misgendering trans people do), complying is absolutely the correct and human thing to do, regardless of my beliefs and opinions. It is not a good faith argument to compare transidentity to delusion and I suspect you know it. Nobody is "forcing" you to comply, an open source project for exemple might just choose not to engage with you and your harmful attitude. No rights of yours are trampled, you just fail at basic respect.
