Appreciate reading a broad range of perspectives. How do you reconcile the obligation to be kind with a reluctance to support deception is a good question. I think I would favour avoiding pronouns altogether when dealing with trans people who are not abusive towards others. Don’t feel the need to extend that same kindness to people who abuse other people’s rights.

There simply is no obligation to be kind, especially when it involves coercive speech. The left has pushed for decades this idea that "speech = violence" and we are truly starting to see the fruit. Dawn wants everyone to believe that the use of trans pronouns are a simple act of kindness, but then turns around and assumes that anyone who chooses not to participate in his delusion (and it is 100% a delusion) is committing some act of violence against him.
The truth is not kind to those who would twist it for their own purposes.
Dawn misuses the word "kind." He really means "be nice," which is a terrible thing to be (look up the etymology of the word "nice") Nice people don't take keys away from drunks who want to drive. Nice people don't yell "keep your hands to yourself" when they see a man groping a teenager on the metro. Nice people don't rock the boat. But kind people do. (It is a mistake to be nice, but seriously sinister to tell other people to be nice to you!) His poor children.
Yeah, well , there goes any pretence about being kind. Dawn (notice how I avoided a pronoun) had to immediately grovel and apologize about posting this piece on a “transphobe’s” Substack.

Dawn Ellis is abusive towards JK Rowling at the top of his substack today.
