This happened a year or two ago. This person in one of my middle school classes is transgender, and i don't really have an issue with that. I have made it clear to some people, however, that i won't support their choice by referring to them as their pronoun, even though i generally won't refer to them as i'm not really friends with any, and i won't make a fuss about people being trans, that's their choice. Word got around and now this trans person knows about it. So one day we were waiting for class to be over, and one of my friends starts play fighting with some other kid. The trans person (We'll refer to them as A) says "Now now, ladies, settle down." I decided to crack a joke. "Hey, don't misgender him!" I know that joke sucks, but back then the "misgendered" joke was at least a little funny. This set A off, however, and A began screaming and getting in my face about how i'm hypocritical and how i misgender people. I just stood and said "Ok" until B stormed off. I've never gotten any backlash from this incident, but i was wondering how other people think about it. Am i the asshole?
