  1. When you witness someone saying anything openly, and #harmful or #offending just kindly remind them it's the #freespeech with #consequences and to exercise responsible speech.

    Do I need to define 'responsible speech' for some people? I can; but it will be partially vague because I don't want to dictate it.

    responsible speech would ideally,

    a. be avoiding the spreading of anything that either disrespects ones personal #identity, or their personal #attractions including their sexual and not sexual attractions.

    b. this use to be said more often on social media and discord, but using #genderedlanguage as an example, Usually you'l find calling anyone they/them if you don't know up front is a safe start. Usually the issue stems when you make a direct assumption of their gender, or when you start to conflict against a persons acclaimed identity after they officially told you (this is probably the worse because if you did #misgendered you could atleast have that accidental excuse, but arguing about someones identity is rude and harmful to #minorities .)

    c. Not talking in support of things that are known for harming the planet. This could just start somewhere as simple as don't advocate for #littering. and then branching up to avoiding supporting #oilfactories. Maybe even deny #ai #datacenters

    Last point.
    c2.This c part actually isn't just about the planet but also humanity. so you'll want to avoid supporting ideologies that are harmful to people as well, such as #whitenationalism #nazism #fascism

    Responsible speech is something I came up with a couple years ago, but idk if this is something that was already created. but it means as it sounds, just spread speech that is responsible. and not arguing about 'your right to just say whatever you want in a free country' (u.s) just to hate on marginalized people, that is not responsible.

  2. "hot take #enby & #intersex people dont deserve to be #misgendered in the process of looking for #hrt resources because you guys wanna make e and t the "girl" and "boy" #hormones and only think about #perisex #peoples transitions"

  3. @npr I think you meant “Watch her DAUGHTER compete,” right?
    Because otherwise it doesn’t make sense. #misgendered

  4. Yeah, I get upset about being misgendered every time I enter the public.

    Trans people are played as a joke for that. But why am I the only unreasonable part in that situation? I'm trying desperately to communicate a masculine identity, and they're not even trying to understand me. Society is unreasonable for upholding the binary at every given chance, and never considering that not everyone is like them.

    It's like constantly wearing sandpaper.

  5. #Montana's House speaker on Thursday refused to allow a #transgender lawmaker to speak about bills on the House floor until she apologizes for saying lawmakers would have "blood on their hands" if they supported a bill to ban #GenderAffirmingCare for transgender youth, the lawmaker said.

    Rep. #ZooeyZephyr, who was deliberately #misgendered by a conservative group of lawmakers demanding her censure after Tuesday's comments, said she would not apologize.

  6. I will not let being #misgendered by the clerk at #REI, even though a coworker gendered me correctly in front of him not five minutes earlier destroy me.

    Damn, that shit just stings!

  7. @grammargirl if the English language doesn't want to stagnate then it must move forward with the times.

    "Their" has always been considered an option when referring to a singular person for whom you do not know their #gender

    Having become a more popular #pronoun of late just makes it easier to avoid mis-gendering someone.

    We've ALL been #misgendered at one time or another for longer or shorter hair. Not a good feel. I choose to be #considerate. 💜

  8. CW: gender dysphoria, slur, euphoria envy, "passing", big social

    🧵

    ...(even when we have a full face of makeup, talk in a "feminine," tone, dress in a traditionally "feminine," way, and act demure and femme) we will be #misgendered, #deadnamed, and "Sirred," even after (in my case) almost 3 years on HRT.
    .
    It is super #dysphoria inducing and makes me (at least) feel like there isn't really a point, because if that is how they feel looking like they do after 6 months and 10-20 years younger...

    ‘When a population is not counted, it is erased’: data gaps on transgender, nonbinary people prove costly thehill.com/changing-america/r "#Transgender people are not counted in official surveys like the U.S. Census and are often #misgendered on their birth certificates and driver’s licenses because of restrictive state laws that make it difficult for those documents to be amended." #prejudice #transphobia
