It's not about Caitlyn, it's about every other trans person. If you decide one person has lost the "right" to not be deadnamed, you are inherently supporting the deadnaming of others by those that have decided they haven't "earned" it. You are participating from a position that sees a person's chosen identity as something that can and should be taken away. If you have any love for trans people at large, don't treat their identity like a tool that can be used to manipulate or hurt them.

Fuck that even the nuance. If you have love for humanity at large you won't do this. Anyone can have their identity taken away. These fuckers think they are safe because they are cis? Hey, 249609, get back in your fucken crate. Chosen Identity is for everyone, trans rights are human rights.

This take won't break through but its the absolute truth and why minorities and marginalized people are important for humanity and empathy. Its crazy people dont see this to me.

People who sit at tables with Nazis are Nazis. Tolerance of intolerance doesn't work out so well. Maybe don't give a fuck about other people they sure don't care about you. I could care less of what people call me or think about my lifestyle. Maybe I'm an asshole idk.

I'm not arguing tolerance of intolerance. I'm pointing out how using someone's trans-ness against them hurts all trans people, not just that person. There are other ways to rebuke or speak out against intolerance.
