    I believe Pug that it’s not about wanting to misgender per se. But there is definitely an unkept desire to carry out uncalled-for maltreatment in a white-knight vigilante justice fashion.

    Which has its roots in noble motivations but is explicitly hurtful to the trans space, and it’s unforgivable that Pug won’t just listen to trans people on this.

      You mean “It’s unforgivable that Pug won’t listen to the trans folk I agree with; the ones who I disagree with don’t matter”

      “But I’m an ally! Sure I ignore the voices of those I claim to support and said I am right as a cis person, I don’t agree with their safe spaces ran by them, and I refuse to change my mind despite hundreds of them agreeing in unison, but I’m an ally to them!”

      I think there’s a letter from Birmingham Jail about this kind of “ally” to a cause.
