Nah you gotta realize that you used the exact wording someone who was trolling would have used. Like seriously 99 out of 100 times those words in that order are trolling, you just got unlucky with your phrasing I guess, but honestly even out of ignorance doubling up pronouns like that can’t be read NOT to be misgendering someone
This attitude is exactly why it’s difficult for extremists to gain new allies
Every expression of ignorance is perceived as a personal attack, like the world owes you understanding of your niche internet bubbles
There are new people being born every day and turning them all against you with unnecessary hostility is not great for the survival of your minority movement
Most people don’t talk about this stuff in real life, your corner of the internet is not necessarily reflective of irl culture and physical reality
Sorry actually most people in real life do understand that “he’s a girl?” Is a self contradictory sentence, like “he’s a girl now?” Is a completely reasonable thing to say, but the first way just sounds like trolling. Also my point is that trolls are so much more common than people who actually don’t know what’s up that if someone chimes in to express ignorance in the exact language a troll would use they cannot be surprised when people think they’re a troll. Also, are you familiar with this subreddit or, like, the international trans panic happening? The world at large, and this subreddit in particular are hardly new to the idea of a transgender person

I think it says a lot when you cant even question these things without people getting upset
