It's irrelevant whether the person doing it does it to be mean or not. Don't intentionally misgender people.

The other thing you don't understand is that misgendering isn't something you can do to cis people. The idea of misgendering was never meant to apply to them. You can call them the wrong gender, which is rude unless they give permission first, but that's all it is: rude. Talking about misgendering cis people is pulling the same card as "reverse racism."

The male celebrities and characters who fans call girl and she are all cis as far as everyone knows. Respectful fans would never do that to a trans man. The only danger here is that potentially there will be a trans male celebrity who transitioned before becoming famous and is not out as trans, so he'll be assumed cis and called girl and she by fans.

Butch lesbian women get misgendered with malicious intent all the time so no, it's not just something that applies to trans people.
Respectful fans shouldn't misgender anyone.

As a butch cis women I get misgendered all the time and I wish people wouldn't. I'm respectful to my trans friends so I wish I could tell them please show me the same respect.

Misgendering anyone, even in jest, is disrespectful.

"is pulling the same card as "reverse racism.""

Well yeah, because there's nothing reverse about it. Stereotyping a group of people entirely because of what they look like or where you think they came from is just... racism.

You can talk about different people having different power to act on that, sure. Institutional racism is a huge problem.

But racism is just racism, don't get precious about it.

No. It’s not being “precious”, it’s just a fact. Reverse racism is different from racism because of the power imbalance that you mentioned and tried to dismiss like it was irrelevant. It’s not. It’s not racism to discriminate against white people, it’s reverse racism. Because it’s not the same kind of discrimination, and it doesn’t lead to the type of societal effects and harm racism has on non-white people. I used to think like you when I was right-wing and obstinate to new concepts in my youth. But I was incorrect then like you are now.

Imo it's better understood as something akin to trans headcanons than as misgendering
