So Mexican dudes can't say these things, eh? Only white dudes, and only if they're straight?

My 'hey, you're being a fuck stick' detector doesn't discriminate, despite what my stolen meme says

Pfff. Everytime my father in law goes on a racist diatribe I tell him, "Mustafa is what now?". He is my Egyptian brother in law and the kindest and hospitable person I know.
I also very dislike my father in law, used to be a somewhat good guy, then he got old and racist.

I told a coworker they were "full of shit" then repeated that when they said "what?"
I play a lot of rocket league and the kids love homophobic slurs, I just call them pathetic.
Even a simple "bruh" can help.
That why calling out people for being weird worked
My go-to is "Why do you think that is an okay thing to say?"
There's one thing I really don't understand. And this question has no agenda except that I would like to. Also if I use the word "he" inappropriately, please for the sake of the question let that slide...
Say a woman transitions to a man. He's a man now, right? So why is it necessary that he be called trans and someone who was born a man be called cis? I mean if the goal is equality, and it should be, why should we know or care which is the case? And the same question goes for cis/trans women.
Using the cis/trans labels are good when the experiences are different in some important way or it's worth pointing out for some reason. Often it's just better to refer to both cis and trans men as just "men" and cis and trans women as just "women". It depends on the context. These online forums tend to be rather political or tied to identity in a way that a lot of more real life conversations won't be. The cis and trans labels can probably be left off more often in real life than you see them used here.
It's just useful terminology. It comes up when it comes up.
I don't spend much time calling my girl friends trans-her, if that's what you're asking.

Pin this somewhere.
Just yesterday at work I heard some coworker telling some nightmarish stuff (for the other person of his story) and laughing as if it was fun. Problem is, all other dudes were laughing with him.
