    Gender-concerned people telling me how to speak is like fundamentalists telling me to wear a dress. I tell them both to piss up a rope.

      amen.

      people should just leave other people the fuck alone. the fundies are just as full of performance moral grandstanding hypocracy as the pronoun nutbags.

      and both of them will scream at you you are a facist for not agreeing with their pathetic need to control other people’s appearances and speech. a fundie telling me i’m ungodly and a trans person telling me i’m shitty for being gender-conforming are both fucking stupid and awful. and i’ve expereinced both these things.

        I don’t understand. What is the middle ground between “you should refer to trans people by their chosen gender” and “you shouldn’t refer to trans people by their chosen gender”? Do you flip a coin?
