cis people talking about being "afraid" of what might happen if they don't automatically use the correct pronouns

you've never actually interacted with a trans person before, have you?

even still... have you ever had a normal, healthy relationship in which you actually apologize for things you've done wrong? why is simply recognizing the harm you've done and apologizing in an authentic way never part of the equation here?

there's so much focus put on trans people getting offended over being misgendered, even when we make our pronouns easy to check (in bio, pronoun pins, or just ask us!) but they always ignore the fact that the offending party often refuses to apologize, doubles down, etc.
