          If you view the norm of correcting people’s pronouns as liberal civility politics, I have some bad news about who agrees with you

              It’s not about protecting or giving a shit about ghouls. It’s about you thinking that there are people who are bad enough that you can misgender them. You can assure me that you only do it to the “right” people, but guess what? Everyone thinks that. Your view isn’t some righteous rebellion against liberalism. It’s the default position. Everyone thinks they can misgender the people who “deserve” it. That’s the point of correcting pronouns for everyone. It’s not supposed to be a morally loaded thing.

                  I am telling you that exactly none of “them” will agree with you while facing that wall, before they are shot.

                  good? no one cares about their feelings, as was pointed out to you already. they care about you misgendering people (or in this case, slime mold). similarly no one is going to take offense to you insulting nazis, but they would take offense if you used slurs to do so.

                  idk what your hangup about this is tbh, it's pretty simple stuff.
