"A won't tell B what to identify as and B won't tell A what words they can and can't use".
So:
- Joe won't tell Dani that she can't identify as a she
- Dani won't tell Joe that he should call her "he", not "she"
Do you think these two are really fundamentally equivalent?
If Dani starts calling Joe "she" over Joe's objections, that's totally okay in this schema, right? Deliberately misgendering someone is never harassment?
