Question for other trans folks on degendering and misgendering (hexbear.net)

They/themming someone exclusively who uses different pronouns is shitty and misgendering, but is it alright to use they/them for literally anyone in addition to the pronouns they use, leaning towards using their specific pronouns?

I'm in two camps. On one hand, I've always used language like this for cis people and I see this reflected in how other people speak and in the media. On the other hand, I know it sucks when someone only uses they/them for you.

So, what are your thoughts hexbear?

Edit: reminder that preferred pronouns when you just mean someone's pronouns is antiquated language

Basing "sexual orientation" on one's gender in relation to the gender(s) they're attracted to was a mistake. He/Him lesbians are valid. by RikerDaxism in c/[email protected]

We can go farther. "Sexual orientation has nothing to do with the gender/s of the people you're attracted to, it is a social concept that is discrete from attraction"

Bracket theory bb, that straight guy who keeps having sex with men and those straight women who experimented vigorously in college really are straight, because sexual orientation is primarily a group identifier

Tbc this is entirely earnest (I am not saying that everyone is really bi though so don't get on my ass about that)

The best thing about problematic dead writers is that theyre dead and don't benefit from you critically enjoying their work
