I’m sorry you’ve been abused. Trauma like that never goes away.
You insisted on knowingly misgendering the person, in a place that stresses it’s a safe space. (Which means safe for everyone, not just you) and are conflating issues with that with defense of their assault.
“The abuser changed genders to get more access to women’s spaces” is just regurgitated transphobic propaganda.
You’ve chosen to see it as a protection of the abuser when their abuse is unrelated to their identity. Nobody has called them “stunning and brave.” You have chosen that as a condemnation on LGBT people, despite claiming to support us.
I’ve never seen a soul deny that queers can be abusers. Protection from sexual abuse is an important part of lgbt rights. Implying that because we insist upon the right to self-identity, we thus protect or defend abusers, is a wanton and willing misrepresentation.
As seen in other comments in this thread, if we allow misgendering when we don’t like the person or when they’re an abuser, then what leg do we have to stand on? Support for that does not conflate support of abuse.
Trans rights are human rights.
Ok but recommend me some home brew so I can get sedentary.
