Oh, this was never made clear and from an outsider's perspective it looked like you meant that using they/them at any point was transphobic, even when your preferences weren't known
this was in response to a thread that started based on someone saying they would prefer a world where we used no pronouns but they or comrade. I replied that that would suck for me because my pronouns are not they/them. people then started arguing with me that those pronouns must apply to me whatever my feelings. at what point was I not clear that I'm talking about my pronouns?
this would suck pretty badly for me. my pronouns are emphatically not they/them or comrade.
I am explicitly telling you that that’s not true. if you directly address me with they/them knowing that, you are intentionally misgendering. I am far from unique on this and it’s true for some of both cis and trans people.
