*republicans flip gender switch on and off* welcome to hell! welcome to hell!
thanks
This is the best thing I’ve seen all day
this isn’t
a positive thing
this is an act of transmisogyny
they’re refusing to honor a trans woman’s pronouns. they’re using gender neutralism to actively misgender her. this isn’t a step toward trans equality, this isn’t going to be used to create an inclusive space for gender neutral delegates, it’s republicans refusing to acknowledge a trans woman’s identity.
trans women have been telling u all that this tactic of convenient gender neutralism is transmisogyny. republicans are saying “if i have to call you a woman i’d rather call you nothing at all”
i hate that on tumblr dot com people will look at something like this and go “NICE, A WIN FOR TRANS PEOPLE”

Makes me think of the push for gamers to call other players gender neutral terms in Overwatch. It was pretty obviously a tactic to prevent being mistaken for a woman when playing a female character- given about 50% of the characters are women.
And still all dudes refer to me as a guy in game when I’m almost always playing a female character.
These republicans are probably only going to use ‘delegates’ in one instance and it’s not going to be pretty
