    It isn’t tolerating misogyny, it’s pointing out misogyny and ridiculing misogynists.

    It’s OK if you don’t like how that’s being done, and it’s OK if you can’t understand the nuance but policing my speech unchallenged is not what is going to happen.

      I think I got the nuance behind ‘bigoted man I disagree with is actually a woman because women amirite?’.

      I’m trans, and like actually hate these people, they deserve ridicule. However, if I’m willing to tolerate bigotry on my behalf towards people that are in some out-group, there’s no guarantee that some day I won’t be among that out-group and subsequently targeted by that type of bigotry. Do you understand the issue I’m raising?

      I can’t tolerate people misgendering Caitlen Jenner or Blair white because while they suck, it only contributes to an environment where that type of insult is then considered acceptable.

        Nope.

        It goes like this: ‘bigoted man is bigoted because this will aggravate his orange tits. If bigoted man was not bigoted it would not be possible to rip on him like this.’

        Put another way: ‘I am a bigot, said John.’

        If that doesn’t clarify it then I’m out of patience to explain further.
