Here's a story that just popped back into my head for no reason. Had a disagreement over christmas dinner with my sisters (now ex) boyfriend over how #gender works. Next time I met him I deliberately misgendered him. He was damn quick to correct me. Aparently preferred #pronouns aren' a thing right up to the moment when you #misgender a cis-het white dude.

This is how you act as an ally, live, in real time, when someone is being misgendered:

The issue of pronouns keeps coming up, and it makes me wonder if there might be a way to ease that. While yes, there are idiots who purposely misgender, how often does it come down to just being a little lazy? Most of us list our pronouns in our profile, and when we're replying to something unless we've interacted with someone before, we have to leave the thread to determine proper pronouns. My suggestion would be for app makers like @IceCubesApp and others to pull pronoun info for accounts that are @'Ed and display it off to the side. If web interfaces adopt a similar strategy, I would hope it would help diminish much of the misgendering.

Oddly many #indigenous #languages do not have gendered #pronouns and are highly likely to #misgender you on accident because its not an important thing to them. My partner has a friend in the Philippines who can't get her head wrapped around the pronoun discussion and why its such a culture war here. Many indigenous folks are now gendering themselves as they/he or they/them just as a protest against colonizer forced gendered pronouns.

I watch a little #YouTube channel I'm subscribed to, expecting another essay on movies or whatever, and hear the host casually #misgender someone – whose gender he clearly knows – twice. So casually I'm not sure he noticed, but the subtitles confirm Google heard what I did.

‹sigh› Well, I subscribe to 200+ other channels. I'll survive without this one. #transmisia #transphobia

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1889 was born #transgender #Mexican revolutionary #AmelioRoblesÁvila. Assigned female at birth, Robles would stick his gun in the face of anyone who dared #misgender him. In 1970, he was the first transman to be recognized by the state as a male veteran.

A year after #ElonMusk bought the #toxic #socialmedia #hellsite #Twitter, #LGBTQ #people say it has become even more #toxic.

#LeoVaradkar decides to weigh in on the #ColetteColfer controversy, gets it completely wrong. It isn't about prosecuting people for making mistakes, it's about firing people who consciously choose to #misgender.

As an analogy, imagine if the Dáil had a policy that people had to say 'gay' instead of 'sodomite', but someone insisted on saying 'sodomite' because that's what they believe, darn it! See the issue?

Free #misgender burn for you.

Trans friend was misgendered (deep South, very red area) deliberately by a restaurant staffer asking how her meal was.

My contribution: "Far better than your manners."

With misgender + infantilizing enhancement: "Far better than your manners, young man."

(South prides itself on its manners, so that burn may not work as well in, say, NYC.)

@ErictheCerise While agree that accidental pronoun misuse does happen with no evil intention, there *absolutely* are people who misuse pronouns deliberately because they ideologically reject the #gender identity of #trans people. You know, transphobes.

People like Ben Shapiro do it all the time and it's obvious they do it on purpose.

The #policy as it stands #protects #transgender #students and others from #targeted #harassment based on their #innate #characteristics, which would include #deliberate #misgendering in the case of #trans #people.

Judge Marbley ultimately #disagreed, #concluding that the #USConstitution does not contain a #right to #misgender and #bully #trans #students.

This summer has provided a string of #victories against #antitrans #legislation in #courts. Bans on #genderaffirming #Healthcare thwarted in four states, a #sports #ban overruled in #WestVirginia, and a groundbreaking ruling in #Indiana stating that #teachers do not have the right to #deliberately #misgender their #transgender #students.

— I seriously doubt they mean it, #CNN is not much better than #FoxNews any more.

My thoughts on #trans and #enby #pronouns:

I sometimes hear #cis folks complaining that they can't remember everyone's pronouns, that they feel it's unfair to have such a "burden" put on them, and that they're scared of being #canceled if they accidentally #misgender someone.

I won't deny that navigating these uncharted waters is often confusing, awkward, and overwhelming. I've definitely made a few errors over the years that still make me cringe to this day. But even if I added up all of the discomfort I've experienced on my #ally journey so far, it wouldn't even come close to the discomfort felt by trans and #nonbinary folks nearly every second of every day.

I'd much rather that it be me having a little difficulty remembering to use people's pronouns than them having difficulty simply living their own authentic lives.

I can #TakeOneForTheTeam and feel a little uncomfortable for a few seconds every once in a while if it helps give them the confidence to be themselves. ⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️
