Why the transphobia? I clearly use he/him pronouns, why would you mention panties? Not cool.
You could've engaged in a civil manner, there absolutely was room for civility politics. Don't accuse me of getting pissy first when you called me "stupid" in another comment before I said another word. You made it toxic. My initial comment was nothing but objective in content.
Come off it, "get your panties in a bunch/knickers in a twist" is a common phrase in the English language.
Your initial comment was factual, but more important, it was both irrelevant and misleading. It revealed a dishonest agenda you've only reenforced since.
Do you want to go ahead and finish joining the dots on that transphobia accusation, or should I jump straight to pointing out what a piece of shit you are for disingenuously using a marginalised community as a human shield rather than walking away from a point you're clearly incapable of engaging as you lied you would?
“Panties in a bunch” = misogynistic? Yes. “…” = Transphobia? Come on.
You’re stretching here for a win a la victimizing yourself. If you are actually trans and this was a mistake (I hope you realize to be one) I really hope you take this to heart. Y’all need as much support as you can get and making blatantly false allegations like this against people is just gonna hurt your cause.
Unless you’re a troll and this is what you want and tan out of brain juice so you flipped the ol switxh and goo goo ga ga’d your way out of being responsible for your life.
I jumped to transphobia because of my personal experience with gender. Yes, misogyny is a better word. That's not a mark on trans people though, I'm not the one attacking people's identities here.
Christ you really just can’t take this one on the cheek huh.
Part of being an adult (purposefully not using the term being a man here as a note) is recognizing that sometimes we don’t speak clearly enough and sometimes we misunderstand each other.
I can sympathize with your prior experience causing bias but maturity is recognizing your biases every day, ahead of time, and fight against it. It’s absolutely not a mark on trans people but it sure does fuel the other side which is not what we want.
