It's "not particularly relevant" except for the part where it was the reason they were banned. Deliberately misgendering someone is not the same as making fun

Deliberately misgendering someone is not the same as making fun of them. The Babylon Bee's entire punchline is just that they're using a hateful slur.
- ilyt 4y agoYeah still not seeing it as something worth banning people over or having any actual harm. I didn't boycott the shop where cashier called me a girl either.
- yumyumyum 4y agoIt was a satire on USA Today naming Levine as one of their Women Of The Year despite him not actually being a woman. The message underlying this is: if men who, as the Bee put it, "dress like a western cultural stereotype of a woman" are now eligible for women's awards, then what does that leave for actual women to be honoured as women?
- anon291 4y agoOn the contrary, the bee and others would argue that giving awards for women to biological males who dress like women is yet another form of discrimination against women. How can you honestly say that the bee should be banned for using satire to point out discrimination against women and compare that to Nazi germany? This is the moral bankruptcy I was talking about
- jakelazaroff 4y ago“How can you honestly say that someone should be banned for using satire to point out Jewish control of the banking system and compare that to Nazi germany? This is the moral bankruptcy I was talking about.” You see how that sounds? How do you think the Nazis treated trans people? You think it turned out any better for them than for the Jews?
