The recent guideline changes and various discussions on all social media about 'misgendering' have been interesting to observe, not least because of the subsequent shifting of goals.
As predicted, once the TRAs achieved the objective of controlling one aspect of expression, the move began to cast the net more widely.
It was always going to be a straightforward move from being told what not to say to being compelled to say something else.
This is obvious from the practice you can see in various media of repeating the mantra "Transwomen are women" and demanding that the targeted individual repeat the phrase to appease those making the demands.
Those of us who have remained since the guidelines came in have complied with the initial rule to not use specific gendered pronouns for people who object to them by sticking to the use of names and neutral pronouns.
I've noticed this is the next line of pressure - complaints about this reasonable compromise, insisting that neutral is not good enough and that the perceived correct pronouns must be used.
Those that are pressing for this know that if such speech is compelled, it will not mean that those being compelled have changed their views.
But it will do a number of things. It will control. It will humiliate. It will silence dissent and distort the entire narrative.
This is why the language used is such a battleground, and why it would have been very helpful for MN mods to do the course on this kind of controlling behaviour.
