What is with so many of you referring to Manning with male pronouns

[Summer Hathaway]

272. What it's really about

is the OP telling people how to think, what to do, and what language to use that she finds acceptable.

If people refuse to accept another person's gender identity, for whatever reason, it is their right to do so - even after it's been "repeatedly explained" to them that they are somehow obliged to see things the OP's way.

The reference to "nasty posters" is rather ridiculous here, after the OP has berated and belittled anyone who has offered a reason for not having made the 'pronoun transition' from he to she, and has labeled anyone who is slow to do so as defending transphobia, or having been too lazy to do as they've been told RIGHT FUCKIN' NOW.

"In short, the OP is not talking about innocent slips but about malicious and antagonizing comments."

Really? Someone pointing out that it's only been a few hours, and they haven't adjusted to the change in language from "he" to "she" is being intentionally nasty and malicious? And who put the OP in charge of deciding what constitutes an "innocent slip" and what doesn't?

The very fact that the OP was goin' round takin' names at the first opportunity speaks for itself.

But, hey, for the authoritarians who love being told not only WHAT to do, but WHEN to do it, it's all good.

Please proceed to lock-step behind your leader. You wouldn't want to get caught saying something she might not consider to be an "innocent slip".
