I can agree with that statement. It just doesn't jibe with the bit you ignored above: forcing another person to play along with the fantasy of someone else's identity, trying to make "misgendering" a crime (which itself can be rather incoherent, you cannot misgender someone who claims that gender doesn't apply to them).
It's the being forced to play along with the six-year old Stefonknee's playtime to which I object. Evading it with solipsism and "what your definition of 'is' is" word games is a distraction.
- sverona 4y agoYou bristle at "being forced to play along with a fantasy" because you prefer a different and equally fantastic fantasy. And who's forcing you into anything? Who's trying to make misgendering a crime? It's impolite, the same as violating any other boundary is --- imagine if I started doing it to you on purpose --- but there is no possible way for it to be legally codified in an enforceable manner, and I can assure you that trans people don't want that anyway.
