- simias 13y agoCan you stop doing this all over the thread? If you have a point to make, make it, but this is just spam.
- drakeandrews 13y agoThe message(s) are the point. Misgendering people isn't nice, especially after someone has specifically laid out how they wish to be addressed. But yes, I will conceed I have been a little spammy and probably could have gone about it with less.
- potatolicious 13y agoA little bit of tact would have been nice also. Most people in our society are still not used to referring to trans people. I highly doubt anyone here is misgendering on purpose - even people who are aware of the underlying issues will still slip up sometimes, because use of gendered pronouns is reflexive. Hell, I have a trans friend where I still struggle with correct pronoun usage. I've known her for a long time, and it takes a lot of conscious effort to override the reflex sometimes. We try, we're not perfect, so stop browbeating us about it.
- mkr-hn 13y agoDoing this repeatedly is likely to get you automatically hellbanned. A comment on this at the root level will probably get enough upvotes to bring it near the top.
- drakeandrews 13y agoThanks for the heads up.
