I wouldn't punch anyone unless they were physically attacking me or someone I cared about? Apart from Antifa shitheads and bad drunks, I don't see many people just punching w/o physical provocation.

No, but the argument being made was that misgendering should count as fighting words and trans people who respond with violence should be considered potentially justified.

I was reminded of friends who advocate punching Nazis. And my ham-handed point is that certain ppl seem to champion such "emotionally understandable" actions even when they would never act like that, which I find to be a strange message.

Where I grew up, I heard black children/teens/adults called the n-word constantly; they always came back with the most withering, destructive personal insults on earth; they took care of themselves *just fine*. (major deterrence!) We resist violence, not *give in* like animals.

And who should be punched? Women? Invalids? Old people? Children?

None of them. Words are not a defense to a criminal assault charge.
