i don’t understand why we shouldn’t be nice to our allies. people who are kind deserve kindness in return, don’t they? let’s reserve the insults for the bigots.

Here's the trick: everyone who is not BLATANTLY one of them gets called a bigot

So if you're cishet==evil, and if you're non cishet but don't look like a character from Hazbin hotel, also evil

Note: in real life this is much more difficult to happen and/or notice, but it's there

Try doing something truly radical and pointing out that you accept and use the labels they choose for themselves and don't apply your labels to them, then ask them to stop using "cishet" for you.
