Disagree. Caitlyn Jenner fucking sucks but we don't have to invalidate her perfectly legitimate, valid, and real gender identity to express disdain for her
Don't drag the rest of us into her shit. Being trans has nothing to do with why she's a shitty person. We're not here to beg for your approval before we get to be who we are, and we don't need it. Pick another hill.
it is not okay to deadname people for any reason (as everyone under this post already has stated), and if you do this again on the instance you will be banned from Beehaw for at least a week.
All you're doing is telling other trans people that their gender recognition is conditionally valid only on their good behavior, and that it can be revoked if they piss you off. Maybe consider why this would make trans people feel unsafe with you, even if they are on your side politically.
If you needed a trans person to come tell you this is not okay: hi! Here I am! Don’t do this. All it does is advertise that you view using someone’s correct name as a privilege that can be revoked for bad behavior.
Deadnaming is NEVER ok, even if the target is a cunt like jenner.
It's never okay to dead name. Even people you find despicable. Dead naming isn't about them, it's about you… like being polite to wait staff.
do you also think it's okay to, say, use an N-word for Black people who commit crimes?
And I think it's perfectly OK to call you a cunt. Because you are.
Man I just so don’t care about your opinion, you have no idea.
I think it's totally okay to ban you for crap like that. Maybe that's why nobody makes me a mod any more 🤔
Anyway, you're a transphobe.
No, I’m not. At most I’m a Jennerphobe.
And you make her being trans an avenue of attack, so you're a transphobe. Same as if you'd call a black person you don't like the n-word.
