    I think OP did an absolutely perfect job…

    To be clear, they kinda withdrew from the situation because you scared them. They may make less jokes in the future due to overthinking minutia, which is literally my only concern. We cannot know, but we definitely know society overall gets impacted by shame.

    Ultimately, trans people and other minorities don’t owe you gentleness when they’re hurt.

    And no one owes anyone else kindness when they’re being treated unfairly. I also don’t owe any strangers proof that I self reflect if they insist on hinting that I don’t.

    You still didn’t touch my actual point and you’re just lecturing me on “reflecting”.

    ETA: found some others pushing back on you from slightly different angles. You seem to reject all their notions too. Maybe you yourself would stand to benefit from some self reflection.
