    Holy shit yes. Thank you for saying this.

    This is important to remember in most public conversations, especially online. It especially helps to keep you grounded and prevent you from getting bent.

    You’re not arguing with a person, you’re performing to an audience. Talk to the people listening, not to the dipshit trying to rile you up.

    They’re intentionally antagonising us first. Turnabout is fair play.

    Also, I would only recommend doing this online or in a large group where they either can’t physically hurt you or they won’t because you have backup. In my experience, this can set people off, yeah.

    I started doing this a while ago– misgendering people who claim pronouns shouldn’t matter. It’s amazing how important they suddenly become to conservative guys when you start calling them ‘she’.

    Like wait, it hurts your feelings when I refer to you as ‘she’? Is that… disrespectful of your gender identity?? 😱
