make sure you ask your trans/non binary friends what they do and don’t like to be called 😊 it can mean a lot, if your unaware

    I agree and the Denny’s thing was hilarious.

    I’m not quite that old yet. I do eat lunch at 10:30 though because I’m not organized enough to wake up in time to make breakfast before work.

    I would never call someone something they don’t want to be called on purpose. I also wouldn’t get to know them well enough to make that mistake if they made a public fuss out of it the first time I met them.

    Like you said, being kind is key. Thanks for the laugh.

      “I would never call someone something they don’t want to be called on purpose.” then what in the fuck is even your point here? Why be an asshole to people whose feelings you’d supposedly respect? And fr what the hell is up with your tangent about us singing about rimjobs in Dennys? You sound like a conservative transphobe, if you’re not I’d suggest you stop doing your best impression of one

        They probably mean this exact reaction where instead of being reasonable and explaining you don’t like being called that you launch into an immediate tirade.

          This isn’t at all the situation you’re describing. It would be unreasonable to freak out on someone for calling everyone dude. I’m freaking out bc this post is full of people who would choose to call people dude even after being asked not to

            A lot of the posts specifically say the opposite. “If they asked me to, I would stop”, but there’s also a lot of folks who seem to be blanket upset that anyone would use the word at all without asking first, which is not reasonable.
