Does she realize what a complete arsehole that makes her look? She'd rather go to jail than treat people like human beings?
He doesn't.
assuming you didn't make a typo, this ain't cute. The signal you're sending is that respecting pronouns is a privilege you reserve for people you agree with.
It's more that I'm giving her a taste of her own medicine. She doesn't extend this basic courtesy to people she disagrees with, so why should anyone give it to her?
Because it isn't just hurting she/her, it is also hurting the people who want to be called a different pronouns.
So better to keep referring to her cis pronouns every time she/her is mentioned.
How so?
Because the signal you're sending to trans people is that you don't think respecting our pronouns is a human right.
She is so vile and toxic in such obvious ways - why not attack her for her wrongs instead?
