I just have something/a thought I wanted to share
So as most of you (probably?) know, Ramadan just started.
In my year there are quite a few muslims, it's about 70/30, Christian-Muslim.
Next week is the last week of this school year and as teachers and students are already mentally done with the school year everyone brings things like sweets, muffins, cakes, drinks etc. to school and we literaly just sit around chilling and eating together.
So it happens that when handing all those things around someone offers food/drinks to a muslim... but before they can even say anything the person who offered the food goes: "oh no I'm sorry, I forgot you're fasting" and immediately hands them sweets they can take home to eat them at night
and that is how I want people to handle misgendering someone!!!
You accidently misgender someone, realise it so you apologise and immediately correct yourself!!!
How is that not already a normal thing...
You wouldn't rub food into a fasting muslim's face, would you... so how dare people misgender someone on fucking purpose
I don't know do you get what I'm trying to say?...
