and that's the problem, people clearly are not extending common courtesy to trans people
so should we just let it go and let deadnaming and misgenderinh happen rather than actually making it part of the rules because its clearly neccesary?
Yes we should, if you silence people they won't change their opinion you'll just make them angrier
aha so I guess basic rights and common courtesy and all that don't matter when it comes to trans people, got it
Idk how you drew that conclusion, the point is common courtesy shouldn't be a rule
Its clearly not common courtesy when it doesn't happen when it comes to trans people. They are not given this supposed "common courtesy" That means trans folks are seen as sub-human and I do think we should make a rule of not othering/dehumanizing a group of people in such a way
That's treating the symptom not curing it
so trans people should continue to actively be discriminated against by not being treated as the people they actually are because fighting that discrimination is not curing the symptom? weird take.
