What are you even talking about?  A bitch?  There is NOTHING LIKE THAT WHATSOEVER in what I said.  You are seriously trying to compare saying "he" by mistake to calling someone a bitch?  You are so incredibly dishonest with your arguments.  Nothing but strawmen and whataboutisms and trying to twist what people say. 

Sorry for using an exaggerated example.

You're saying you accidentally misgendered someone, and you're here complaining about his response.

Would you feel better about this analogy:


I had a friend named James, who preferred to be called Jim. I accidentally called him James once, and he got upset. James should know that I would never call him James. 

I'm just saying it feels like you're undercutting your own point. I'm not saying you did anything horrible.

For the second quote, again, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?  I say people get unfairly labeled if they criticize the writing or directing of a show and you turn it into something else completely?  Did you even read what I said before you commented?

All you're trying to do is throw up smokescreens, which makes this a waste of time.

Sorry my post there was pretty crappy. I was in a hurry, and I'm exhausted. 

Alright.  If you're saying you made a mistake with the second quote, I can accept that.



However, your analogy for the first quote still fails.

A)  I HAVE had friends call me by the wrong name but I DID NOT get angry over a mistake and try to make them feel bad for it.

B)  I have never CHANGED my name, demanded that my friends call me by the new name, then blown up at them the first time they called me by the old name.  I'm pretty sure I would be a lot more understanding considering they would be used to calling me by my old name.

Are you saying that YOU would yell at your friend and try to make them feel bad about themselves if they accidently called you by the wrong name?  Because that's the impression I'm getting.  If that's the case then we simply have two different ways of dealing with the world.
