I disagree for one reason.
My uncle was being homophobic and transphobic so I started to misgender him so he could see what its like.
Unsure if he’s less bigoted now but he definitely got quite upset and it made the point to everyone else around at least.
That guy, who said we could use slurs for good. What happened to him? Last time I checked he was defending a white supremacist terrorist.
The purpose of language is to reveal and convey meaning and thought.

People who try to control how you think NEVER have anyone’s “best interests” in mind but their own.

I love this comment because it can be applied to multiple perspectives on this cultural debate.

But if you say this about body shaming they’ll just tell you their taret deserves it.
Bit of a strawman, no?
Less of a strawman and more of a non-sequitor whataboutism.
Ive seen this community making fun of people for their weight or claiming people have small dicks when they do something they dont like so not really. Point proven though, yall don’t care about body shaming.
So you’re generalizing, then pretending to take the moral high ground on a non-existant issue just to avoid agreeing that people shouldn’t be misgendered, imagining a non-existant level of hypocrisy?
Where did I avoid agreeing with the post? If you’re curious about something ask me instead of assuming based on nothing. Bodyshaming is wrong and it happens here, that’s not non-existent. Thats the message, do you take offense to that because you seem real preseed to make accusations.
The meme is calling out people using misgendering as a punishment. You’re then attacking people who point this out as guilty of hypocrisy by saying “they” are fine with bodyshaming.
Bodyshaming is wrong, yes, nobody brought that up except yourself and only as a way to attack some vague hypocrisy in an imagined enemy.
Again, I see bodyshaming happening here, thats not an imagined enemy unless you dont know what words mean. You’re talking over me now and ignoreing what im saying, this being the third time I’m telling you it happens here so you can pretend im talking about no one. Stop with the intelectual dishonesty.
What I am doing is poiting out a similar punishment people do for bodyshaming, and for the fourth time, it happens on this very website. That makes it relevant no matter how mad you are about that. You wont even ask me about the original post after I told you to instead of assuming because then you won’t be able to pretend im attacking anyone other that the hypocrites, who again exist on this site. Did I say it enough this time?
Show me. Show me where there is an overlap of people who think bodyshaming is okay and misgendering is not. Humans aren’t a monolith.

No. I don’t think it’s awkward. At all.
The only person whose weight and body is your business is your own. My body isn’t your business. Your neighbor’s body isn’t your business. Your coworkers body isn’t your business. It’s not your business and your opinion doesn’t matter about any body but your own.
So how about this… let’s just not talk about each other’s bodies and let people be who and what they are. Fat people have enough shit to deal with already and they don’t need shit from you too, whether it’s ’support in losing weight’ or criticism.
So if I decide to attach a bunch of lead weights to my body and enter the same elevator as you, it’s only my business, is it?
