do you understand metaphor and simile? this is getting a little too difficult.

you're going really heavy with the socratic method, and i really just want to have a normal human conversation. i guess it's my fault for having the discussion in an open forum- i even said it was a bad place for it at the start
this isn't me being socratic. this is me trying to give you second chances and avoid directly saying you're an ass, you ass

you can use metaphor and simile to draw comparisons between situations that are, y'know, comparable. when the entire conversation is about how misgendering and deadnaming and associated phenomena are bad (which you acknowledge is "extremely rude"), it's kind of obviously fucking disingenuous to say "well in the situation where i lazily refer to my effective-but-not-literal stepmom as 'stepmom', she wouldn't mind!" as a metaphor. your lesser point in that analogy was that it's much more convenient to use the shorthand, which is exactly what i originally pointed out as being objectionable when objecting to your earlier scenarios.
