How to treat trans people.

The narcissism of this is breathtaking. Responses are pretty unanimous, people do not appreciate being dictated to and there is mention of coercive control as a form of abuse. How does this seem reasonable to the NB posting?

I saw this on twitter too. I thought it was a joke. Oops.

My cynical side wonders if the tone has changed because the TRA have blocked everyone who hasn't drunk the koolaid and just aren't there to pile on.

My optimistic side hopes it's really the tide.

Awesome. I can tell they're nonbinary because they're wearing bright lipstick AND have stubble too. Mind = blown. Way to smash the gender binary using normative social signaling!

Wow! I thought this guy might be a parody but it seems not, from his Twitter. Jeezo.

Your job is to obey the trans person? Srsly d00d?

So if you get it wrong don't apologise because that then makes it the trans person's responsibility to make you feel better.

I guess we had better just send ourselves straight to hell when we get it wrong, which we will according to this man.

The replies on the thread are excellent. This made me laugh.

Ugh, he's so manipulatively aggressive.

This rhetoric is part of the whole 'trans are sacred' command. Trans people are not gods, and I don't have a job (or a calling) to centre them in any part of my life.

I found the replies very encouraging. What a massive change compared with this time last year.

I predict that a lot of the self serving politicians who were happy to sell out women and children on the sly will start doing some serious back pedalling once they see that the tide has turned. The #nodebate silencing and shunning strategy has failed, and information is leaking out to the general voting public.

I loved the Dostoyevsky quote someone posted.

Narcissism, eh? Tee hee!

What an obnoxious little twerp. Getting ratioed to fuck.
