    The concept is that normalizing dead naming as an insult will result in a cascading effect that harms trans people across the board, right? I’m not trans, but it should be pretty obvious - dead naming is dead naming even if you’re a piece of shit liar.

  • Chilling is apt. I believe a KGB operative was quoted saying that the leftist is one of their greatest agents - regarding the average leftist’s tendency towards infighting. I didn’t really understand at the time, because I didn’t realize the spectre in the background of this statement is ‘while the leftist is busy fighting his neighbor, someone can step in through the chaos and take advantage’.



  • I understand what you’re saying, and I agree.

    That being said, most people don’t know how to throw a punch. To the degree that many people need to be told not to hold their thumbs in their fist. They aren’t concerned with the collateral damage, to themselves or otherwise - they’re just throwing the punch.

    I’m not saying it’s right, but this is the reality. These people have never been trained to recognize the value of articulating themselves correctly, or maybe they have but they’ve been in the monkey pit for so long that they just learned how to fling shit as a defense mechanism.

    I don’t think you’re wrong in advocating for the abolishment of certain words, or rather the uses of those words. I do think you’re pissin in the wind, though.
