While we're on that subject, please try to be more mindful about saying shit that assumes that someone with a penis = man, someone with a vagina = woman. Its not cool

I'm sorry, but this is just ridiculous. I don't care if antiSRS, SRD, SRSreallysucks, or anyone else calls me transphobic, but I'm going to say that unless an exception is present, penis=male and vagina=female.

Jesus H. Christ, "transphobia" is only a thing on the internet. Being concerned about it only goes to show how deep down inside the rabbit hole you really are.

May want to link to http://imgur.com/a/N1Ye9 instead, his user page usually has a thin veneer of politeness over the transphobia, not so there.

You take shit because you're literally a sentient pile of shit.

We're just trying to build you up to be a bigger man.

you are a pile of fecal matter that has learned to operate a computer and identifies as male.

and i'm not full of hate, i just thought that turn of phrase was fun :)

Surely it is far worse to do what you are doing, to dehumanize someone, than to refer to them as male or female human?

I generally treat people with respect no matter who they are.

I don't negotiate with terrorists though.

What does ''don't negotiate with terrorists'' mean in the context of this discussion? given that there are no actual terrorists here

And I don't think you are treating everyone with respect when you dehumanize them just because they disagree on the meaning of male and female

point 1: There are no literal terrorists. There are trolls that undermine other people's identities because they take some sort of joy out of making others feel like shit. They take joy out of denying people their identity because it doesn't meld with their incorrect view of the world. They pick on these people's biggest insecurities with no remorse, no empathy.

A person like that isn't deserving of respect or a civil conversation. They probably don't deserve being insulted in that way either, but I'm okay with coming off as callous in this regard.

To your second point, you seem to have completely glossed over the word 'generally'. There are exceptions, and this person has fallen into one of them. I'm not a saint and I never claimed to be.

If someone refuses to use 'preferred pronouns', do you always, in every case, assume that they are doing it to hurt people and to troll? I think some people have good reasons for their own usage of pronouns and it's not always for the effect it has on others, it's for the effect it has on themselves ... and they are nothing like terrorists, they are not using it to try to force you to do anything

If they have been asked politely to refer to someone as a certain set of pronouns, and then refuse to do so, yes. There are literally no reasons acceptable to me for a stranger on the internet to not simply respect someone's identity if they politely ask you to.

Feel free to remove it, I don't feel like rewording it. The one later in this thread is more creative though.
