I dk how misgendering and dead naming is not considered bullying in general. Cis ppl dont like being actively called the wrong gender or wrong name either. These protections help everyone.

For some of us out of loop - what is deadnaming?

Using the trans person's forename, despite them going by their preferred name

Just want to point out that oftentimes it's not just their preferred name—it's their new actual legal name

Just a matter of time before they start banning expressions of solidarity on the grounds that it is NSFW
