    Please don't. I take that seriously and it is obtuse to pretend you don't know the phrase "debate bro". It was a cultural reference, and I have no intention at any point of misgendering anyone.

      Use debate nerd instead in cases where you don't want to gender people.

        "debatenerd" I'm picking this up! But in my defense, I was saying "debate me bro", as in, someone who says "debate me, bro"

      So, there is this cool thing you can do called making memes gender neutral instead of calling trans women bros.

      Since you take misgendering extremely seriously, I thought you should know about this neat trick.

        This is a meme I am referencing after seeing it on hexbear. Specifically imitating their language to make a point. Maybe we should talk to them about it too. I obviously hadn't considered the full implications, and will not use that phrase anymore, for sure.
