#'i call everyone dude/bro/man its equality' is just the transmisogynistic version of 'i dont see race'

[ot3]

i can't believe that we're doing 'i use bro/dude in a gender neutral way' discourse in 2024 because even without the blatant transmisogyny of being unwilling to make incredibly minor linguistic concessions for the sake of not casually misgendering trans women, 'dont call people things that will upset them' is a concept literal kindergartners are capable of grasping. if someone says 'don't use these words to refer to me, i don't like it' and your response is anything but 'sorry, i won't do it again' then the kindest possible interpretation of your behavior is that you are a huge asshole that nobody should want to hang out with.

#'i call everyone dude/bro/man its equality' is just the transmisogynistic version of 'i dont see race' #like yeah i also call everyone those things. unless they say they don't want me to. and then i won't do it. huge!
