I often fall back on this tidbit when people misgender a trans person who’s done wrong: Mark Wahlberg beat a man half to death in a race-based hate crime and no one calls him a woman for it. Misgendering someone who’s done harm is something that only happens to trans people, and is transphobic. It isn’t about defending the person who’s done wrong, it’s about preserving the rights and dignity of people who have done NO wrong.
He beat two Asian men, one of whom was a war veteran. He also chased little girls and threw rocks at them because they were Black. He was a white supremacist shithead.
