make sure you ask your trans/non binary friends what they do and don’t like to be called 😊 it can mean a lot, if your unaware

      But you can, there’s literally no one judging the individual words you choose to use in non (purposefully) offensive ways… Oh wait

      Language is fluid, it changes over time. Trying to lock down something so strictly that it offends you if it’s used in a way you’re not familiar or comfortable with seems to me like exactly what you’re trying to to fight. Sexuality is fluid and can change over time, you wouldn’t be upset if someone wanted to change their pronouns, so let’s let the entirety of humanity decide to change the definition of a word.

      Honestly, you do you booboo. Pick the fights you want to fight, but I get the feeling a lot of people disagree with you. I hope some day you live in the world you envision your happiness, because you deserve it. I just hope your version of happiness isn’t forcing everyone into your box

        its called basic respect. if I tell you i don’t like to be called something, then don’t use it to refer to me, it’s as simple as that.

        In fact, most people are completely fine with this, and I treat them with respect too.

          Yeh for sure. If you tell me, I’ll 100% agree and do my very best. As simple as that. Hope you have a nice day :)
