There's no rule explicitly stating that misgendering someone is a bannable offense. I'm sure you mean this rule though...
"Blatant forms of racism, sexism, homophobia, or any other sort of hatred towards a group of people(s) will not be tolerated, and will be met with firm moderation."
But that rule doesn't explicitly say that misgendering people is against forum rules. I shouldn't need to read between the lines on every last rule. Rules are black and white. They shouldn't be open to interpretation. You can't go adding your own personal asterisks to a rule, just because it fits your agenda. This goes for extreme left-wing agendas or extreme right wing agendas or extremely pro-Xbox agendas or extremely pro-Nintendo agendas or whatever.
And keep in mind, if there were indeed a rule that explicitly banned misgendering people, I would follow it whether I disagreed with the rule or not. My problem is that the rules are poorly written in a way that any mod can apply them anyway they so choose.
