I’m sorry but no.
> For many trans/GNC people, gender is an important part of their identity
Acknowledged.
> and actively avoiding the act of gendering manifests as another form of violence
...wait, no, absolutely not.
Not having others proactively acknowledge what you feel is an important part of your identity is not “violence”. It’s human life.
It’s completely fine to just opt out of participating in this social game of gender, sex, and identity, no matter how strongly some may feel about it and how ingrained it’s become into their identities. The struggle is real but at some point, society accommodating for the anxiety of an individual becomes counter-productive.
- thelopa 5y agoPersonally, I think that’s fine iff it is applied consistently. If someone only calls trans people “they” but then goes on to use gendered pronouns for cis folks, that’s definitely a form of hostility.
