I haven't figured out a suitable pronoun yet, "it" is just too generic.
I had a friend on Facebook who I met maybe 3 times in real life. She identified as gender non-binary. Which is fair enough. Call yourself whatever you want.
But after meeting her once I realised that it was entirely about attention. She treated everyone like crap and if anyone spoke back to her, she pulled out the gender non-binary thing and acted like she had been fully disrespected.
She posted on Facebook some stupid meme about if a man calls his girlfriend crazy, it means that he's not willing to deal with who she is and how he's obviously not strong enough or something like that.
Me being the smartarse I am had to reply, "or... Maybe she's just crazy"
Anyway. After that I went back to work, flat out, didn't look at Facebook for a few hours. When I got back to it I had 100 replies and her and her friends spamming me calling me a bigoted arsehole who deserves to die and other random shit. I responded, "alright, calm down ladies"
She exploded. "HOW DARE YOU MISGENDER ME!"
She tagged all her friends demanding that they back her up. And they did. I received masses of replies and about 30 death threats via messenger. I made sure I replied to each with smartarse comments before I blocked them.
Eventually we had a group meet up and she was there. Walked straight up to her and said, "hey love, how's it going?"
And she left.
I often feel bad when I'm an arsehole to people. But pissing her off made me feel good.
