My go-to is "Why do you think that is an okay thing to say?"

I play a lot of rocket league and the kids love homophobic slurs, I just call them pathetic.

That why calling out people for being weird worked

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

Even a simple "bruh" can help.

There's one thing I really don't understand. And this question has no agenda except that I would like to. Also if I use the word "he" inappropriately, please for the sake of the question let that slide...

Say a woman transitions to a man. He's a man now, right? So why is it necessary that he be called trans and someone who was born a man be called cis? I mean if the goal is equality, and it should be, why should we know or care which is the case? And the same question goes for cis/trans women.

[–] duckythescientist@sh.itjust.works 15 points 5 days ago

Using the cis/trans labels are good when the experiences are different in some important way or it's worth pointing out for some reason. Often it's just better to refer to both cis and trans men as just "men" and cis and trans women as just "women". It depends on the context. These online forums tend to be rather political or tied to identity in a way that a lot of more real life conversations won't be. The cis and trans labels can probably be left off more often in real life than you see them used here.

It's just useful terminology. It comes up when it comes up.

I don't spend much time calling my girl friends trans-her, if that's what you're asking.

Just yesterday at work I heard some coworker telling some nightmarish stuff (for the other person of his story) and laughing as if it was fun. Problem is, all other dudes were laughing with him.

"Oh damn, didn't know it was hate on people for being different day."
