minus-square@morphballganonlink55•11 months agoCalling it deadnaming implies Twitter chose the name X. Twitter did not make that decision, thus calling Twitter Twitter is in no danger of offending Twitter.

minus-squarecapitallink1•11 months agoThe fuck? You don’t have to be sorry for what other people do. That’s other people. What’s with all this carrying blame for shit other people have done just because you share an uncontrollable trait with them?
minus-squaretired_n_boredlink4•11 months agoI understand your point but I’m not carrying blame. I see what people write and I’m so sorry it happens

Oohhh that’s a good one.

Using a trans persons’s birth name rather than their preferred name. If done purposefully, it’s extremely insulting.
Thanks, I hadn’t heard the term.
Doesn’t have to be a trans person

I’m sorry I did not understand? Sarcasm perhaps?
Are you asking whether you’re sorry?
I’m asking what the other person wrote
Isn’t that hypocritical?
