Idk how you drew that conclusion, the point is common courtesy shouldn't be a rule
Its clearly not common courtesy when it doesn't happen when it comes to trans people. They are not given this supposed "common courtesy" That means trans folks are seen as sub-human and I do think we should make a rule of not othering/dehumanizing a group of people in such a way
That's treating the symptom not curing it
so trans people should continue to actively be discriminated against by not being treated as the people they actually are because fighting that discrimination is not curing the symptom? weird take.
