what people hear for some reason: pluto has been suddenly kicked out of the planets club by the other planets, who were its best friends up until they randomly decided they didn't love it anymore and they kicked it out of the house and put it in a wet cardboard box on the side of the road and it's starting to rain but they don't care at all because they hate poor pluto now and they want it to die of exposure. which it will

good time to reiterate that recognition of someone’s gender and pronouns is not dependent on their behavior or morality, either. Accepting a person does not have to go along with accepting a gender ID. They could be a mass murderer and you still have to acknowledge that they’re this and such gender. Because gender is the relevant thing. You wouldn’t call a cis person a different gender for being a shit person. You wouldn’t call a cis woman a man for being violent, and you wouldn’t call a cis man a woman for being manipulative. (if you’re progressive, anyway) Gender and gnc exists as a concept outside a given individual.
