Ah, gotcha. Still, the ones defending the misgendering are fucked.
Still, that’s good information to have, glad OP didn’t seem to do it out of malice and owned up to it.
I mean, i get that people make mistakes, may not see pronoun tags etc., where it gets interesting is how people react when you mention to them they misgendered somebody and ask them to correct it. Like, you’ll literally post “hey, this person’s pronouns are (… / …), your post misgenders that person, can you please edit this?” and they’ll immediately go into berserk mode. It would take literal seconds to fix, but instead people like that will go and write post after post about how you’re violating their freeze peach, and then on how rude it is to call them out on their transphobia, ad nauseam until they get the banhammer. And then they go to some instance where they aren’t banned yet and whine about how fragile and mean hexbear users are.
Exactly, libs take one scratch and join the fash. It separates the well-intentioned from the people who were always internally transphobic.
And none of them seem to get that they got banned for doubling and trippling down on the misgendering instead of “for just accidentally making a tiny mistake”.
I think they do get it usually, they just twist it when malding to stir up a hate-storm
