but some people don't like how a boundary they deem important is blurred if you accept that line of argument

-
that makes sense. i wonder how that might actually be quite related to the issue of misgendering, because it happens in a distributed way
-
No-one should be allowed to abuse trans ppl. No-one shld force anyone else to adopt their view on gender & use its terminology.
-
there is a conflict between those two wishes, though, isn't there?
-
I don't think so. A Christian/Muslim who believes God made everyone's genitalia the gender they shld be is not abused by others saying no.
-
again i wonder whether the implied symmetry is valid, or whether positions have to be assessed concretely in a given social context.
-
because there is a mainstream view of gender that is being forced onto everybody even on the level of linguistic conventions
-
so the status quo already abuses trans people, as per our previous definitions
-
Trans people are not abused by other people having binary understandings of gender. Mustn't be forced to share them.
