    I was banned from all of Bahaj for using “dude” then questioning if dude was the word someone was taking offense of and as the word I misgendered them with.

    Meta-pronouns was already a bridge too far.

        I have a trans kid that is a teenager their best friend is trans, I am aware lmao

        it’s just a kid thing, kids be sensitive about their identity more so than adults as the formation of their identity is core to being a kid

          I had the opposite experience. When I was a teenager, I tolerated being gendered by society. After I grew up, I started learning about trans issues, and asserted my own identity. I put up with other people’s gendered bullshit for 18 years, I don’t have to tolerate it anymore.
