Comment on Anon gets corrected

  Why does the other persons energy matter? If someone requests not to be called something and you continue to call them that then you are kinda being a jerk.

    Cause it’s rude. Like correcting grammar in a conversation. Both would be equally rude.

    Nobody wants to be told that what they’ve learned and have been taught to them their whole life is now an offense. Just like nobody wants to be misgendered on purpose.

      “Learning new things is offensive”

        Being told you’re an idiot and everything you’ve learned in front of others is “yikes”

    The fact that you’re getting downvoted for essentially saying “just be a respectful, reasonable, and decent human being” is pretty bizarre. Like, can we just have some empathy and patience for each other?

    If someone asks you to stop something simple and of no consequence to you just do it out of respect. Why does everyone feel entitled to a concrete argument and being convinced before just respecting folks? It’s ridiculous.

    What about half of the people in the comments seem to fail to understand is that the way the lady correcting OP’s language is the biggest factor.

    Her saying “hey, could you please not refer to me as a guy?” is completely different from her getting angry and going off on a rant. The former situation is worth continuing the discussion, and the latter situation leads to people rightfully avoiding that lady.

  It’s just as much not a problem for them to be offended by it as it is for you to choose your words better. Knowing that you made a choice to offend so yeah, you’re the jerk. You’re honestly making a lot more of it if you went all this distance to think you’re the one hard done by just cuz you refuse to memorize some words.

  Only bad actors looking for the drama go for the path of most resistance.

  If you’re thinking the world was supposed to be a safe place for bullies: this is what we call a snowflake.

    Changing the language you intuitively use is hard

        No, that’s different. Names occupy a different role than generic words, and you’re primed to be able to handle that. To suggest that’s the same thing as replacing common words is dishonest or uninformed.

      There are harder things in life that are actually worth whining about. Growing your brain isn’t one of them.

  It gives off the same energy as correcting grammar when talking with someone.

  Is this a personal attack?

    Sir, you’re an officer of the law. You can’t help but be who you are. It’s ok to own it.

    There is a time and a place for it. Just not when you want someone to agree with or like you. 🙂
