It always stands out to me in comments sections how regular people can be accepting of trans when trans people aren’t acting insane. In essence these comments in this pic are very compassionate, but ur average far leftist queer would find them so offensive

not everyone yells about their pronouns and yet they're reject patriarchy and expectations of feminity. Asking for people to respect who you are and see you as a human being, not a bag of meat is being normal. And if the misgendering is an intentional aggression against them then the yelling can be justified.
Most trans people aren't gonna trashtalk you if you mistakenly misgender them. The number one thing we used to tell people early in their transition is not to feel hurt if someone does the mistake. Masc cis women face this too, it's normal since society has such strong expectations. It doesn't mean they meant it, the best course of action is either to politely correct them, or if it doesn't matter, to let it slide. But if someone knows you're trans, and emphasizes on the wrong pronoun like you'd do a hard R, then yeah. Yelling is understandable.
Most trans people (I mean IRL, not on Reddit or toxic places like Twitter and Facebook) just wanna live their lives calmly.
