I don't care unless they force me to believe the way they do.
If you're trying to make an analogy here, that's incredibly short sighted.
Forcing religious values down other ppls throats is trying to dictate their life.
"forcing" aka asking to be referred to with certain pronouns is asking to have your own life respected.
One is about having your beliefs respected, the other is demanding others to act as if they were part of your faith no matter if they believe or care.
Some religions believe that they should proselytize as many people as possible, so really not letting them convert you is disrespectful to their beliefs.
I agree that there’s a difference, but I’m not sure a simple argument like this really works since it is difficult to say one belief is ‘better.’
Proselytizing: You can say no without repercussions.
"Forcing Their Beliefs:" You have to follow the religion or you will face legal/societal consequences.
Not really the same thing at all though is it?
Also bit of a weird constructed example. A faith like that can only lead to it's followers taking offense or religious totalitarianism.
Which is not something I'd engage with so idk why i would tolerate something so intolerant.
The comparison is also kinda failing since one is a belief and the other isn't.
A more fitting comparison would be ostracising someone for their faith vs insisting to misgender someone despite better knowledge.
I'd say if you can at all help it please be less of a cunt
I’d tell that person they’re being intolerant and offensive, and to fuck off.
And I’ll tell you that that is an unrelated question to the topic, and that you are being offensive by injecting that question in such a manner. You can pick your religion. You cannot pick whether or not you have gender dysphoria.
It's not analogous nor related to the topic, but since you asked, this scenario requires a lot of assumptions.
Is said person intentionally misgendering? I'll make it quick. "Please respect [trans person]'s preferences." It's not my business to force them to comply or not.
No.
It's very different. Misgendering is illegal where I live, but you can't be forced to care about someone else's dumb beliefs
