Hey, I hear what you are saying, but using the correct pronouns for someone is not just being "supportive", it's acting like a human fucking being. The person you're replying to is literally saying drag did the wrong thing, so all I can assume your response means is "I can choose to ignore someone's pronouns if I think they're a bad person". Which is super fucked up. For example, I think Caitlin Jenner is a complete and total piece of shit, but I still use her correct pronouns because I'm not an asshole. This is coming from someone who, similar to drag, uses 'pup' as a neopronoun, Grow Up!
