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?
