@ErictheCerise While agree that accidental pronoun misuse does happen with no evil intention, there *absolutely* are people who misuse pronouns deliberately because they ideologically reject the #gender identity of #trans people. You know, transphobes.

People like Ben Shapiro do it all the time and it's obvious they do it on purpose.

Don't #misgender me bro.

My thoughts on #trans and #enby #pronouns:

I sometimes hear #cis folks complaining that they can't remember everyone's pronouns, that they feel it's unfair to have such a "burden" put on them, and that they're scared of being #canceled if they accidentally #misgender someone.

I won't deny that navigating these uncharted waters is often confusing, awkward, and overwhelming. I've definitely made a few errors over the years that still make me cringe to this day. But even if I added up all of the discomfort I've experienced on my #ally journey so far, it wouldn't even come close to the discomfort felt by trans and #nonbinary folks nearly every second of every day.

I'd much rather that it be me having a little difficulty remembering to use people's pronouns than them having difficulty simply living their own authentic lives.

I can #TakeOneForTheTeam and feel a little uncomfortable for a few seconds every once in a while if it helps give them the confidence to be themselves. ⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️

Montana bill would let students misgender classmates

Montana schools would not be able to punish students who purposely misgender or deadname their transgender peers under a Republican-backed legislative proposal that opponents argue will increase bullying of children who are already struggling for acceptance.

The proposal, co-sponsored by more than two dozen GOP lawmakers, would declare that it’s not discrimination to use a transgender classmate’s legal name or refer to them by their birth gender. Schools would be prevented from adopting policies to punish students who do so.

So enlightening.

Interview with #ParkerMolloy on the mainstream media's anti-trans bias
#AaronRupar #PublicNotice #NoahBerlatsky

“I was sick of seeing stories that were like, ‘A strangely dressed man was found dead in a local pond.’ That’s how they would refer to #TransWomen in a lot of these stories. They would #misgender people. And it was a case where people couldn’t speak up for themselves and couldn't fight back.”

It's obvious, given #Rowling's penchant for naming characters with ham-fisted puns, that she intended "Sirona Ryan" as a cryptic, backhanded way to #misgender a trans woman (first, for Sirona sounding like "sir", second for the surname sounding like a man's name).

This is an extremely cynical way to troll the trans-rights boycott of her video game. I'm sure we'll never hear the end of people claiming Rowling and #HogwartsLegacy are really inclusive now, since they "even have a trans character"

A death certificate files the most basic snapshots of a person’s life into a series of boxes. For #transgender people, the unrecorded carries even deeper implications: the true self is to be discounted after death.

PSA:

I normally make a point of being available to provide support during the holidays.

For obvious reasons this year I cannot, for Christmas I got a deadnaming, gaslighting email that confirmed my worst fears.

Still, if you do feel the need to vent, rant, scream or whatever really, either because you are surrounded by #misgender -ing #deadnamers or because you are or feel #alone, do reach out to your online friends.
This year I ain't got the spoons, I gotta protect myself but plenty of people in the #Trans #Community will be there for you. #YouAreNotAlone #LeaveNoOneBehind
(Obviously if you @ me I'll be there for you, I just fear I ain't in the best place to help)

Hot Take: I think it's strange to use phrases for men like 'baby girl' or 'male wife'. I know it's not done maliciously but on it's face it seems like misgendering but it's also reinforcing these patriarchal gendered stereotypes and tropes #fandom #misgender #babygirl

everyone in my life accepts that I'm a woman now. my parents, my sister, my partner, my workplace. I work from home and almost never have to worry about people who might #misgender or mistreat me. I love my #trans life.

but I still get #transphobic slurs shouted at me from cars in Walmart parking lots. lots of public places simply aren't safe for gender diverse people. going grocery shopping is an activity where I could get harassed or attacked.

I would at least have a delicious aroma and be irresistible to eat.

If you're a fan of the journal #Mechademia, please know that that journal literally changed all the pronouns in my contributor's profile to #misgender me in print. When I complained to the editor in chief, Frenchy Lunning, who had already very publicly misgendered twice, she tearfully apologized and assured me she would fix it in digital. She did not fix it in digital. The only reason it's fixed in digital now is because the digital host saw my complaint on Twitter and acted promptly to fix it.

Last tidbit about what makes me depressed. Although I am #pansexual, I DO hae a preference as far as dating and whom I would want tae be in a LTR. Sadly this will nae happen which is why I donnae even bother. I will say this. As someone who possessed XY chromosomes, there is NO FUCKING THING I despise more, than men who #misgender #deadname and #fetishise #Trans folk. I donnae want tae be seen as "that guy" so I just donnae bother. Now I will go cry.

WWlll?

“I assume that we’re leaving the phase of the special military operation and approaching a major armed conflict, and now the question becomes where is the line, and whether after a certain time – maybe a month or two, even – we will enter a great world conflict not seen since the Second World War,” he said."

"Putin ominously asserted that western powers should “be reminded that our country also has various weapons of destruction, and with regard to certain components they’re even more modern than NATO ones.”

"5 billion people would perish, primarily as a result of nuclear detonations causing huge infernos that inject soot into the atmosphere which blocks out the sun and devastates crops."
