The claim that requiring pronouns be based on assigned sex not being transphobic is akin to claiming Prop 8 wasn't homophobic. Judging that a e.g. a trans man cannot possibly be a man and use he/him pronouns is transphobic by definition. It sucks because the day of a trans person can be ruined by someone being an asshole and then feeling justified that they weren't "because biology". Because the reality is, I'm trans and I don't feel safe participating on Hacker News anymore. If I try to ask someone to be respectful towards me, I know I'll be attacked because this is the top comment. And that sucks. |
