this is against the ToS of like. EVERY ADVERTISING PLATFORM EVER lmao. it's click fraud - they don't want you to reward users for clicking on ads, because it "counts as a click" and therefore costs them money, but the user immediately just closes the site instead of buying anything

As a transfem myself: There's a difference between going "hey you might not be cis" when someone you know appears to be questioning their gender, and just deciding unprompted that you know some random stranger's identity better than they do. The former is helpful, the latter is just misgendering.

Many furry cons are run by boards organized as nonprofits, and populated with LGBTQ+ qualities, like with their charities, membership, programming, etc. Furries themselves are targeted as symbols for proxy attacks at trans people, with a pretext of protecting children.

Let's look at the second part, where US nonprofits can worry that the definition of "terrorism" is broad and vague enough to threaten all kinds of misuse by Republican government.

Like, the problem isn't that people are "insulted" by being labeled as trans. It's that a bunch of Internet commenters you barely know persistently telling you you're not what you say you are is harmful & disrespectful - and new people commenting unsolicited still unintentionally add to the barrage.

just because something isn't negative doesn't mean it isn't untrue or even simply annoying to have suggested about you all the time

I feel like "don't treat cis-identifying people like they're probably trans people going through a phase" is just the flip side of the same coin as "don't treat trans-identifying people like they're probably cis people going through a phase"
It's literally all just "respect people's stated genders"
