the people who claim that its literally “violence” to call a man a man, even if he is a man…
are the same people who have no problems calling you a nazi, or fascist, or bigot, even if you don’t identify as such.
Its like they feel they have a monopoly on language, definitions, and labels, and can change definitions, or apply labels to whoever they want, for whatever reason they want.
So if you refer to a person with a penis as a male, you are committing an act of violence, because they don’t identify as a male,
and because you are committing an act of violence, that is used as an excuse to use violence against you.
And then they call you a nazi, bigot, fascist, etc, even though you don’t identify as such, and somehow their words are NOT violence, and NOT an acceptable reason to retaliate with your own violence?
You: correctly identify a male as a male, are labeled as a nazi, and subject to become the victim of violence.
Them: incorrectly label you as a nazi, and then use the “fact” that you are a nazi, to justify violence against you.
When someone calls you a nazi, fascist, or bigot, they are using dehumanizing language, which is a BIG RED FLAG for impending violence.
When you call a male a male, you are merely stating an irrefutable fact. And for that, you deserve to get punched
I grew up knowing the "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" adage. I lived by it as much as possible and avoided a lot of toxic people that way. It's not perfect for every occasion, but helped more often than not.
Now it's "I'll break your bones with sticks and stones because your words have hurt me"
