    Why would I want to respect morons who dont give me the same benefit of the doubt though?

    In places where assumptions cause kneejerk downvotes and comments like you explained, I wont take the time to make sure to be 100% respectful towards people.

        You aren’t giving it to them so why would anyone bother giving it to you?

        Isn’t that the point being made by he/she/they? (now I don’t know what to call @Bondrewd )

        I don’t think Bondrewd was “preemptivelly” calling them “morons”. The way I read it, Bondrewd was referring to those “who don’t give me the same benefit of the doubt”. Bondrewd did not specify if those who complained belonged to any particular “group of people”, what was said is that they did do that so, given that, he won’t bother.

        Also note that there’s more than one party here… the ones scolding/complaining are not necessarily the same ones being “misgendered”, so that’s why there can be different "they"s involved. The ones that don’t give the benefit of the doubt (regardless of whether they are the ones being misgendered) are the ones that, according to your own statement: we don’t have to “bother giving it to them”

        If they dont give me the benefit of the doubt, I will gladly insult them for talking shit.

        I dont really care about rights, as that was never really given to me in my life. I speak up about things I feel that need to be spoken up on.

        I didnt say I dont give them respect. I said I dont go out of my way to not cause tears. If for some reason they suspect me of malicious misgendering, and start bitching about it, they can just piss off. I dont misgender, except for comical purposes.

            Those statements are not even in the same context. I have a basic level of respect I give and any more than that is expedient. If they dont respect that, then those are the fuckups that make it sure that I will never ever go out of my way just to please people.

            If you identify with the group that fucks with people like that, I cant help you. I guess you can take it as a direct insult, but then I actually dont care because you live and breath by being malicious.

      Why take the time at all then? If you’re going to be rude you clearly don’t care about educating the person.

      So you really just do it for some personal validation?
