> This unasked for anti-activism is very unhelpful.

Lol, yes. All activism around people's lives is unwanted and unhelpful. But you're targeting everyone with your activism and I'm only targeting those who run around and scold people in others' names. You're bothering 98%+ of the population, I'm bothering a few people here and there who can't just let other people be.

> You are indistinguishable from people who refuse to use correct pronouns even when they know.

The "correct pronoun" says the person dedicated to not using the correct pronouns of the majority. You may have a preference but, the game of attacking people over it just that - a game.

> You do not speak for me.

And you don't speak for anyone else either. But you try, and people saying what you do, are correcting, scolding, and attacking people for doing the default thing. And by the nature of it, you're doing it in the name of everyone who's TQ. You could say "It's just me, but I like X". But you don't, nor do any of the witch hunters.

> I actually appreciate when people default to neutral when they otherwise don't know.

You think using the "correct" pronouns are important and you want to show this by assuming everyone's pronouns?

> They tend to use he/him if they don't, and that's incorrect.

Lol, everyone gets a choice as long as they're you. He/him is literally correct, and far more likely to be right. If you have a second guess it should be She/her.

Listen, I'm not telling you what you can't call yourself. I'm saying when you demand these things for everyone you're picking a fight for them. Most people don't want to spend their time and emotional energy on strange internet fights, they just want to live peacefully. You're dragging everyone into your silly tumblr stuff.

Do you have any idea why everyone's stereotypical image of a trans person is someone screaming?
