      I don’t think using someone’s own insecurities against them because they were a jerk is quite the same as being truly hurtful to people who are actually going through mental distress.

          Sure, maybe they’re just jerky to everyone, but making prejudiced presuppositions is the same stereotyping that everyone should avoid.

                It might not change how you responded, but it does change how relevant it is to what I said. I didn’t condone any prejudices presuppositions. I said maybe “using their insecurities against them” is just an excuse to be an asshole.

        1. yes that is a whole different kind of being an asshole. You don’t get to cHaLLeNge the gender identity of anyone but yourself.

        2. the things said about the made up sexual encounter are clearly ment to demean or embarass the other person. Hence why it is transphobic.
