Why is misgendering so offensive?

Virtue signaling masquerading as feigned slights. These people are snowflakes, theres only 2 genders. Proceed as normal.

it's just ppl making up and piggy-backing off of bullshit so they can claim victimhood and gain power and status over others in a democratic neo-liberal context. it's just decadents using the current social fashions to their advantage. 400 years ago they'd be the people burning scientists at the stake.

Law of Power 38: Think as you like, but behave like others

Interpretation? Stay out of debates like this. You gain nothing.

In the work place, cut the ma’am, sir, dude speech unless you have rapport.

Outside of the workplace, it’s IDGAF.

Many people are only liberal because they think that their political affiliations give them some sort of moral superiority.

That's what happens when you can say whatever you want on the internet with no repercussions at all. These are the women who aren't in touch with their femininity and see on a daily basis that men don't treat them like they want them to.

Usually they have dyed hair or a buzz cut and wear no bra just out of spite. Everything they do is out of spite. I personally never had an encounter with someone who made a fuss about pronouns.

It's not offensive. They decide to be offended. And when they do it as a group, peer pressure kicks in and other people join in on their bullshit.

"Misgendering" someone is such horseshit. If a guy is mentally ill and wants to be called she/her that's too fucking bad. I'm not going to play along and pretend I'm mentally ill as well. You get called what I call you.

Whiskyrack · 2021-04-05T16:22:58+00:00

You are what I call you, don't give a shit how anyone feels about it. These people need to see a shrink and get theirselves figured out before they should be telling anyone else what to do.

It is a bullshit agenda designed to be useless people feel powerful.

Why is misgendering so offensive?

It's a made up reaction, partly to oppress the sane, partly to validate the "misgendered".

If they said "oh, no big deal" then the implication is that it doesn't matter.

But by making a huge fucking song and dance about it, they can stress just how IMPORTANT their chosen gender is.

For instance i caught myself in a debate recently with friends and this non binary person was being extremely rude and I accidentally Misgendered them and people literally gasped. After she cussed me out too.

Manufactured oppression.

People don't accomplish anything. They spend their lives trying to fit a mold instead of creating their own path. Go to any big city and you'll notice the prevalence of ,"herd think".

So the easiest remedy to being seen is to make a reason to speak. It's a trap in all honesty. A woman will dress up slightly more masculine, bit is obviously feminine. You misgender an they have an excuse to make a scene.

These people need attention and will throw you under the bus to get it. Your best option is DGAF. You misgender, they correct you and you don't care. Move on immediately without any more thought or reaction.

I don’t agree with the transgender logic but it’s like if someone tol you their name was bob and for whatever reason you kept calling them Joe not a huge deal but nobody can tell me it’s not rude. Wanna be rude and don’t GAF? I respect that. But we can’t act like it’s not rude or unreasonable

redhawkes · 2021-04-05T18:47:21+00:00

Call them retards instead. What kind of liberal shithole this place has become ffs

Literally if I show this thread to someone in my country, they'll send me to madhouse immediately.

DonuInitial · 2021-04-05T17:44:14+00:00

It’s called being unhinged. I try not to think about it.

3dasak · 2021-04-05T22:36:40+00:00

Theres two genders. Fuck the rest. Either way for less headache try avoiding such situations

topboyshotta · 2021-04-05T22:36:56+00:00

Dont argue. Stay away from groups like these if you can.
