I never said it was, and I never asked amyjess not to express his opinion, I was just pointing out that screaming against censorship is completely irrelevant with the parent post, I tough this was pretty clear.
The charitable explanation is that they don't pay attention to usernames (I'm guilty of this too) and default to male pronouns for everyone.
The sinister explanation is that they dug through my post history, saw that I'm trans (I'm very open about it, and in fact I've been discussing my name change in another thread this morning), and decided to misgender me either out of bigotry or just to be hurtful.
juliangregorian I can't reply to your comment so I reply here: I didn't even read the name, I'm not interested gender when I talk to someone online I just defaulted into "his". Was just a curiosity or are you implying I'm being sexist?
Bullshit, you typed out the name, so I know you definitely read it. And yeah, defaulting to 'his' is exactly sexist (it's a rather mild form of it, but still).

You can cut and past the name from the header of a post without reading it, and without typing it out.

Adherence to the English convention of using the masculine grammatical gender for subjects of unknown sex/gender identity might bother some readers, but is only "sexist" by an understanding of sexism that trivializes the term and robs it of substantial meaning.

Oh really. We are talking about four words here. So are we squinting or something, because you have to be illiterate to not read that incidentally.

Oh brother. Nope, you're the one redefining. See the myriad examples of "avoiding sexist language" style guides. Just because someone isn't getting raped doesn't mean there's no sexism.
you idiot why would I lie? I exactly did that, it's a small word I know but I can't be bothered, also when I code, I always copy paste even small variables, is that a problem for you? son't assume stuff that you have no fucking clue. Anyway why would I trust a nickname to get the gender?

do you whitch hunt everyine that use the wrong word? get a grip
when I talk to people on the phone they always get my gender wrong, I don't correct them because I really couldn't care less,
I was operating under the assumption that you were either lying or really dumb, but you've been fairly effective in convincing me of the latter, so... congratulations?
oh thank you! I really needed your approval, dear nobody on the internet
seriously don't you think all this is too much, just because i used a "his" and not reading a username? I admit that I shouldn't have call you idiot, I just get annoyed by the way you expressed your opinion.
