I haven’t asked to do anything but not call me a man. I’ve even presented you with neutral options.

And I have already explained to you that your feelings on the matter are not superior to anyone else' s. And that your neutral options are not neutral at all.

If you can’t have the basic courtesy of not openly and knowingly insulting me

Answer the question: why is it that you asking things and me refusing is me "not having basic decency", but me asking things and you refusing is perfectly legitimate? Why is it that my needs and feelings are not important while yours should be always taken into consideration? Why is it that I have to make a conscious choice of using language I don' t want to use to make you feel better, but you can' t be bothered letting me express myself the way I want? Is it not common courtesy and decency to let people speak their mind?

Just leave trans people alone and it’s a non issue.

I am not the one going after them. I would be more than happy to stop caring about them once and for all and forget they exist. But as long as they butcher women' s right and free speech, it' s kind of a hard thing to do.

Aww this is so bittersweet, Omina being a badass, and circling wasting people's time. I would hardly know this wasn't the old reddit sub. Glad to see you here <3

Asking someone to do someone Especially something so basic as don’t call me this heinous insult isn’t an insult. I’m not calling you anything. You can consider it disrespectful I suppose but it simply isn’t an insult because that’s not what an insult is. I for instance don’t call women here cis, even though that would be my normal terminology because I’ve been asked not to and that basic respect is required to have any kind of meaningful discourse.

Okay this clearly isn’t going to be productive. Good evening.

The insult is not letting me express myself the way I want by trying to guilty tripping me. Didn' t you say that the victim is the one who should define something as insulting and not the user?

Okay this clearly isn’t going to be productive.

Talking to you never is.
