Please keep in mind that OP is the author of this piece. I have seen in other threads people who have viscerally disliked Their writing and Their opinions, and I ask everyone to treat Them with respect, and to respect Their pronouns, even if you disagree with the concept of capitalized pronouns. Be(e) nice.

Because their opinions are being weaponized to accuse anyone who doesn’t conform to exactly how they wish to be addressed as being bigoted.

This is the same type of rhetoric that DroneRights(now exocrinous after evading multiple bans), used, another narcissist. I think it’s extremely important to differentiate this kind of thing from genuine issues.

You've been rather hostile in your comments so far. Knock it off. This is a beehaw community and we expect you to be(e) nice here. Sounds like you'd be best off just disengaging and blocking Grail, tbh.

I’ve been straightforward but not hostile. There is a line where absurdity does not need to be accepted as it devalues real discrimination experienced. When someone literally thinks they’re a god, and expects people to shift how capitalization of all things works to tend to them, that needs to be pointed out as ridiculous. They are not experiencing the discrimination that trans users do.

Judging by the upvotes in this thread I’d say most users agree.
