Just because you didn't intend to disrespect someone, doesnt mean you didn't. Impact over intent every time. Its a shitty thing to do. So someone should kiss your ass and hold your hand through misgendering someone?
Your personal gripes about they are frankly just your opinion on them, and I'm not givibg it more weight that that.
Like I said in a different reply,
This is people asking for the respect and thought to you know, check a profile before you speak. No one here got offended, it was called out as a dick move, as it should have been.
If you don't see that as basic respect, thats part of the problem.
EDIT: it's the same level of respect as spelling someone's name correctly.
Its kinda shitty thing to do. Mistakes happen, but it says a lot when people dig their heels in.
