    Speak this word or I’ll be upset

    Wear this thing or I’ll be upset

    You gotta admit it’s a pretty good parallel

      So if I just refer to you by the wrong pronouns all the time you won’t get upset? Or if I change your name out for fatty, or fat fuck?

      “respect who I am or I’ll be upset”

      “This is who you need to be or I’ll be upset”

      Nope, not seeing it.

          So would you say the same thing about an usher at a movie theater telling you to shut up or get kicked out? How about a boss telling their employee to take out the trash? A parent telling their kid not to hit their sibling? That’s all the same, right, because they’re all making a demand that someone conducts themself in a certain way?

      Nope. Literally opposites.

      You are imposing YOUR will on another when you purposely use the wrong pronoun.

      YOU ARE THE OPPRESSOR, NOT THE OPPRESSED.

        Your self-centeredness is absurd. We have better things to do than oppress you. Trust me in this.

        We speak in whatever way seems best. And that is a personal matter. Respect that or not.

          I’m self centered because I consider other people’s feelings before addressing them?

          I’m sorry that I didn’t consider how annoying it must be for you to respect other humans in your vicinity.

          I’m an effort to be more like you, I will disregard your username and call you Fucko. In the future, I’ll expect you to respond to the name Fucko, as not to oppress my freedom of speech. Sound good, Fucko?

        YOU ARE THE OPPRESSOR, NOT THE OPPRESSED.

        Y’all got some loose definition of oppression

        Gaza residents are oppressed

        Working class is oppressed

        Some dick in the wild not using the language you prefer is not oppression
