    Agreed. The hypocrites here are perfectly fine unjustifiably calling people they disagree with fascists, nazies, pedophiles etc. but then lose their shit when someone misgenders somebody. Some people are assholes - deal with it or block them.

      Listen to yourself. You don’t even know the difference between plain old name calling and actual bigotry.

      “Nazi” or even “pedophile” is not the same as calling a trans woman a man for the same reason that it’s not the same as calling a gay man a f- or a black man a n-. When you insult someone for an innate quality about themselves that harms no one, you’re a bigot. It’s really that simple and it’s sad that you don’t understand that.

        The key qualification in the comment you’re busting is the word “unjustifiably.” It is pretty easy to justify calling people fascists or Nazis based on the subject’s own behavior. You can’t justify bigotry with anything but hatred.
