Just sticking our beaks in to request the misgendering stops - the thread is already full of holes so if we can keep using initials or names rather than pronouns that would be great.
You're succumbing to a bully.
A bully, and the bully's 'friends' (aka TRA monitors of these threads - which, if the threads weren't so important, why would they be rushing to report 'misgendering'? Surely the bully's identity isn't so fragile that a few women on a mumsnet thread 'misgendering' wouldn't threaten that identity?).
A bully who wants to demand people deny reality.
A bully and their friends who want to demand people say the 'right' words about them 'or else'. Say the word. Say the pronoun. Say it. Or else. (Or else Mumsnet will do our job for us and delete you, you fucking uppity women, denying us our pronouns).
A bully who wants people who disagree with them to 'die in a grease fire'.
A bully who celebrates the death of a woman who disagreed with them.
And you want to appease them and their friends by playing with initials and names so they aren't 'misgendered'?
Today, Mumsnet, of all days? Can you not read the room?
