Guarantee most of the people who argue about pronouns on the internet don't even know a trans person.

and most decent transfolks don't give a shit about prounouns. they just want to be left alone and stop being made into child raping monsters by politicans looking to scare up the voter base.

I mean... I care about pronouns, so do most of my trans friends, and I'd like to think we're all "decent" trans folks. It sucks when someone misgenders you. I would also like the conservatives in my country to stop using trans rights as a wedge issue. I can care about both of these things at the same time.

I'd like people to stop screaming at me for misgendering them when I meant no ill-will. Just like I don't scream at people when they ask me if I'm Italian or when they mispronounce my surname.

God forbid we don't get pissed off at people for making mistakes, especially strangers.

Oh, you're the same user who was lying in another comment thread about trans people beating you up in a coffee shop.

Ironic that you're commenting about politicians making up stories about trans people to scare voters, seeing as you're doing the same thing to win an argument on the Internet.

Nah, unlike you I'm capable of realize that trans people are people. Which means they are just as shitty as any other person.

I have found this to be 100% true. That is why they don't have a grasp on that they are people with feelings.
