      Anti LGBTQ+ bigotry in general.

      This kind of bigotry has led to suicides of LGBTQ+ people and terrorist attacks against their communities. This is beyond “offending” someone.

      Is calling a MTF transperson a man considered ‘transphobia’ in your mind?

      Do you honestly believe people should be imprisoned for it?

        Intentionally and knowingly calling a MTF trans person a man is transphobia. Dunno about jail, but I’d be down to have legally enforced punishment for that. To be fair, that should probably cover all cases of (intentionally and knowingly) misgendering people, in a similar fashion to defamation.

          Dang. Thanks for being honest, but I vehemently disagree with you.

          People should be allowed to call others what they want. It’s up to us to be mature enough to handle people calling us things we don’t like.

          You should know that advocating for legal repercussions here drives people away from the cause.

          Edit: It’s sad how many of you want to control others’ speech like this, but I guess it just goes to show that we’re not really on the same side.

          If a politician is running a platform of pushing legal penalties for calling people things they don’t like, I will make sure to vote against them.

      They are allowed to be scared of trans people, no projecting it though.

          People have irrational fears all the time, no reason needed.
