It's not acceptable to use incorrect pronunons for those people you deem as "not real trans". Some people will use he/him pronuns for Caitlyn Jenner or sometimes even use her deadname. Their excuse for this is "they are not a good person so i don't have to respect their pronuns". But what youre missing out here is that you're disrespecting the entire trans community and it's not just an indivitual problem. Even if we use the most extreme examples as jessica yaniv, if they are trans, they are trans. It's not your decicion to say what another persons gender identify is. Its invalidating for ALL trans people if you purpesfully misuse pronons for "not a real trans person" (which isn't a thing but to make it more easy to understand). And some people have the miscoception that we hate people who accidently use the wrong pronuns but ofcourse nobody does that.. Everybody makes mistakes. But its a problem if you talk to a trans woman, KNOWILGLY knows her pronuns but still call her by him/he pronuns or use her dead name. There is no excuse for this. Doesnt matter your opinion on them. Totally irrelevat.
