Except that by misgendering her you're causing harm to the trans community as a whole. We don't misgender cisgender people when they are bad people. Misgendering transgender people who do bad things only shows that respecting transgender identity is conditional and can be revoked by other people. It's not. It's who we are. Even if someone is a trash fire human being they still should be gendered correctly.
Transphobes will read comments misgendering or deadnaming Caitlyn and cheer along. There are far, far better ways to vocalize disapproval of her. Ways that don't hurt other trans people.
I appreciate your point. A few months ago I was in a discussion with someone on Lemmy about the strategy of maliciously complying with someone that has insincerely stated a preference for neo-pronouns. The example in the discussion was Elon Musk claiming "prosecute/Fauci" as pronouns, but insincere pronouns aren't necessarily so easily spotted. (My position was and is that it's okay to maliciously comply with someone's professed pronouns to demonstrate that person's insincerity)
If you're not tired of tutoring ignorant allies I'd really appreciate your opinion on that dilemma.
I'm not disagreeing on morality of misgendering. I'm disagreeing that the misgendering is conditional on agreement.
I don't want to sound mean with this I'm sure you mean the best but this isn't a debate
Deadnaming and/or misgendering someone purposefully is transphobia and doing it because they're a bad person is still transphobia
As a trans person I'm saying that if you are transphobic to someone even if they're bad is conditional acceptance whether you mean it that way or not
People were deadnaming her in the comments, that's transphobia not an opinion
This is not what I am disagreeing with you on. I am in full agreement here.
Im disagreeing on this point. It isn't simply because they're a bad person.
Agreed
What's the difference between transphobia and bigotry?
I think you might mean bigotry, albeit a very specific kind.
Yes, and that very specific kind of bigotry is called transphobia...
I thought the "phobia" part was relevant but in looking up definitions of transphobia and homophobia I see that, etymologically, the phobia part seems to be irrelevant. TIL!
