Respect is a two way street. It's a contract between people. If someone threatens you, as in his tweet, he doesn't get to have respect. If someone is "just asking questions" like you are... You don't get to have respect.

• Isn't it strange that your questions seem to only go on one direction?
• Why aren't you asking questions of JP?
• Why does he not want to be called cisgendered when that's what he is?
• Is it because removing the prefix "cis" makes it easier to alienate trans people?
• Why are you suddenly obsessed with respecting other people's "chosen" labels?
• Do you think "cis" and "trans" are a choice?
• Have you supported queer peoples labels in the past?
• Why do you only take on the position of "let's respect other people's basic humanity" when defending heinous right wing grifters?
• When have you defended the basic humanity of minorities in the past?
• Why do you demand your one sided leading questions be answered in a meaningful way but there isn't a chance in hell you'll answer these ones meaningfully?
• Why aren't you pointing out that a grown ass man, brain damaged or otherwise, threatening strangers on the internet isn't respectful behaviour?
• Why do you think disrespectful behaviour should be met with respect?
• Would you respect someone threatening to assault you?
• Would you respect someone entering your home?
• Why are you such a coward? when someone threatens you shouldn't you defend yourself?

It's so easy to look like you aren't an absolutely garbage human being under the guise of "just asking questions", but people are waking up to your bullshit right wing technique. In the words of innuendo studio

And because these folks keep showing up in each others’ metadata, regardless of what they say, Google thinks there is definitely a relationship between the guy “just asking questions” and the guy denying the Holocaust
