Trans Rights are Human Rights

Edit:

I was angry when I made this post. I should have cooled off first but I didn’t, and I apologize for that. Though that does not change the reason for this post, just the way I’m gonna say it:

I’m not, and I don’t think anyone else is, upset if someone doesn’t want to set a pronoun. The anger came from the comments on the other post, the reaction of some people who stated they didn’t care about the issue, but also cared enough to complain about the fact that it was brought up.

They cared that they were being bothered but did not care to show solidarity.

I think that’s supremely fucked up. I know what it’s like to be on the other side of that cruel apathy, and I will not stand to see it directed at my comrades.

    i think the downvotes could be more that they dont like this because it's gatekeeping and overly aggressive. just ask nicely and assume the best - if people give you shitty responses complain about that, not that people aren't setting a tag on a site

        my understanding from other comments here is that the OP is upset about another post where people aren't setting their preferred pronoun tags

            Internet is rough. Hard to read tone, hard to know what the other person is going through. Maybe they've had a hard shitty day and they're lashing out. Maybe mental health issues. Maybe they're intoxicated.

            We're generally all here for unification. Sometimes people haven't made it fully down the pipeline, and I've noticed trans issues tend to be the last and final step towards being a progressive ally. People can really struggle with it, especially because in many parts of the country it's very uncommon to ever meet or interact with trans people.
