    As a straight dude, I’m not about to call another dude ‘miss’. Don’t force me into your convention.

      As a straight dude, if another dude insisted on seeing a woman’s genitals before calling her ‘miss’ I would punch him in the face.

      Ah yes, because acting with basic decency towards a [TYPE OF PERSON] definitely means you must be a little bit [TYPE OF PERSON] too.

        I don’t hate them and I don’t do that with me or against me nonsense. I’m just not gonna play along with their fantasy. There’s a lot of things I’m not and wish I were but I don’t get the benefit of making everyone around me pretend that’s the case so I can keep myself in an illusion.

          And I think it’s worth making respect and compassion of others a higher priority then pedantically reminding them about their current or at-birth genitals and/or chromosomes.

          I mean, even if you have an irrefutable philosophical/logical argument about how it is WRONG to accept trans-ness, I think I’m still just going to be nice to the people I meet, and treat them how they would like to be treated.

            Ok, well I want you to treat me like I’m a god. I’ve always felt that way since birth and this human shit feels really displacing.

              You’re not being asked to treat anyone special, you’re being ask to treat them like people. If the way you treat women is vastly different than the way you treat men because you see them as merely objects to fuck then you are an asshole.

                No, this is asking for special treatment 100%. I treat literally all people with a facade to keep them away. Literally nobody can make me address them in any special way.

                  There’s nothing special about addressing someone as “her”, that’s just normal every day communication.

          The problem with that is that if always results in discrimination against cis women who don’t look feminine enough.

            THAT is your problem?

            Look. If someone is ugly, people will like them less and there’s absolutely nothing that will ever change that. Welcome to simp world.

              Yes, you’ve made it clear you only care to treat women with any amount of respect if you’re trying to fuck them.

              I’m talking about situations where psychos start yelling at cis women using the bathroom because they’ve convinced themselves that she’s trans.

                I don’t wanna fuck any women. Also why should I treat any category of person with respect just because of their category? I only care about individual people.

                  I don’t wanna fuck any women.

                  And the lies begin. What would be the relevance of you saying:

                  As a straight dude, I’m not about to call another dude ‘miss’.

                  If this has nothing to do with sex?

                  Also why should I treat any category of person with respect just because of their category?

                  You should treat every person with a basic level respect just because they are a person. Once they reveal themselves to be a misogynistic piece of shit you can stop doing so, but even then I’m not going to misgender you just because you’re an asshole.

                    I’m an antinatalist. Just because you can’t immediately make sense of something doesn’t means it’s contradictory. You don’t know what you don’t know.

                    I respect people when they’re capable and honest.

      As a straight dude

      Damn, that closet must be damp with all the sweat and cum.
