not to be like that but misgendering is still misgendering even if you think you know someone’s gender better than they do. because that’s the basis of literally all misgendering you don’t get a special pass because you’re Transing Them
Oh by the way if you use they/them for someone who has explicitly told you not to, it's still misgendering even if you think you're being woke about it
a trans man / trans masc asking you not to call them girl isn't them being rude btw. I've seen several people say and have had many people say to me personally that me saying " hey please don't call me girl " is being rude and implying that i hate women / girls. using gendered terms for a trans person who specifically has said that they aren't comfortable with it is still misgendering, yes, even if they're a trans man / trans masc.
edit: i mean this in the nicest way possible but please stop derailing this post. this post was about my personal experience as a trans masc but like. most of the replies are talking about " if this was about trans fems then- ". i dont have a problem with transfems relating to my posts, and i know that being trans will mean we have a lot of overlapping experiences, but this post is SPECIFICALLY about trans mascs being called girl, not transfems being called dude. again, not trying to be rude here, just this post was about transmascs. ( no hate to anyone in the notes who did say stuff about transfems being called dude though, that is a real issue that needs to be discussed. ) ( its 2am and i havent slept so idk if my wording made sense / if it came off as rude sorry )
Hot take for the coiner of transandrophobia, but I don't think trans men are female.
I'm not revoking jackshit from a trans man, because he was never female (and therefore is not the intended recipient of female empowerment). This is trans 101. These fucks can't even get that right.
I don't think any man has the right to take revenge, but he will 9/10 times do it anyways. If something literally kills him, then it's not revenge, it's self-defense. Big difference.
I think the men who are abusers statistic is already way too high, and that men actually really need to be empowered to NOT hurt people.
If you as a man want to be celebrated for taking out your anger, they literally made the military just for you.

Let's just say I had a bad experience at mtg today.
Doctor, suggesting a replacement because it looks like insurance won’t cover seeing them “I referred many patients to XYZ and never heard from them again.”
Me, stunned “I don’t think that’s the endorsement you think it is. You know how many awful fairy tales have the line ‘and they were never heard from again’ in them, right?”
Doctor, trying not to lose Professional Voice and failing “Ha hahaha *cough* I didn’t mean it like that. You have such a great sense of humor! Ha ha ha ha.”
Me, patiently “Did you ever see or hear from any of these people after referring them? As opposed to other places? A “Thank You” or a request for files or need for a consult or asking you to fill in while the new one is on vacation or anything at all?”
Doctor “No. Wait, let me think. No.”
Me “Is that normal?”
Doctor “No.”
Me “Can you see my concern?”
Doctor, sounding quiet “Yes, I’m sure they’re fine, but now that you asked, I’ll check my records for other care providers.”
Me “Fairy tales are cautionary tales. I’m concerned for the patients you referred to this other Doctor. Their chances seem grim.”
Doctor, not laughing “I understand.”
Me “If you can’t find anyone you’ve referred, you might want to check nearby ditches.”
Doctor makes choking noise “I want to laugh at that, but you’ve got me worried.”
Me “Yeah, well.”
(Silence)
Doctor “I’m going to check on a few people I referred to them.”
Me “Yep.”
— two weeks later —
Doctor “I won’t be referring anyone to that provider again.”
This is the weapon of the ENEMY. We do not NEED it. We will not USE it.
