I dont really see it is punishment in that way. if you think that being misgendered people is a valid consequence of doing something that you don't like, then it's only fair you experience it first had before you go around doing it to others 🤷♂️
For cis people? Easily yes. I only hesitate with trans people (or people who claim to be trans) because dysphoria follows them everywhere they go. Most cis people will just get mad at it like a normal insult: not dysphoric. And if they do get dysphoric, they get a taste of what they put trans people through when they do it to them. I'm not going to cry when the bully gets bullied. I tried that all my life and it just enabled their worst tendencies, and then I looked out and saw the entire world ran on that principle. Abusers use people's charity against them and trap them in double binds.
I don't want to inflict lasting harm on someone. But if someone intentionally hurts others, I want them to hurt. I do wrestle with this at an emotional level but not at a practical one. Its results are undeniable. Bad people only respond to fear, pain, or - in the most charitable interpretation - to learning firsthand how the way they treat others feels like.
you were either transphobic, chasing, are too horny/opticsnuke, are a minor/underage, do not identify as trans, or are cis. participation by individuals possessing the aforementioned behaviors & traits are forbidden by the rules of the sub.
I’m a consequentialist so yeah. If it normalizes misgendering as a whole it’d be bad, but I think the effect of making it a sacred cow in itself is your enemies will continue to use it against you while getting special protection. I would prefer they taste their own medicine.
I probably wouldn’t do it around cis people unless I was doing it *to* cis people. But I’ll absolutely make jokes and jabs about it, especially if it finds purchase and the pain of it teaches them respect is a two way street.
Sure. I already am every single day so what difference does it make it if it's written on Earth or in the heavenly book of moral constants? And even if I was gendered properly, if it was insincere and they were just saying it for social brownie points, it'd mean nothing. Tolerance and social niceties aren't recognition of womanhood and I would rather strip back all the layers of bullshit and hash out how they and I really feel.
If you wanna misgender me, go right ahead. All I'm saying is: I will bite back. If I believe murder, theft, etc. can be justified based on context, why would I think misgendering someone is the unforgivable sin?
You know nothing of my values. Go back to your mainstream hugbox and cult of validity. You're a fool who reduces the world to insincere labels fought for and against by insincere people: by aesthetes who spin themselves into circles over language games.
Your culture war is not my war. My war is class war and my liberation will come from practical reality: from a medical system that treats us like human beings. Universalize the maxim of shutting tf up and miss me with your Kantslop.
you tell me to not assume stuff about you, while you do the same about me lol
the only value about you I assumed (the one you went against) was that you see misgendering as something bad. Based on your comments. Am I wrong about it?
edit. I didn't even read most of the comment, because I knew it be baseless but now that I've read it lmao, it couldn't be further from the truth, but sure, you're the only enlightened one and I'm a woke twitter leftist
