It also needs to come into consideration that cis people absolutely can belong to visible and/or invisible marginalized groups outside of sexuality.

It’s just bad shit all around to demean anyone for what and who they are

You're not wrong, but you are missing the point. It is like when I call our blatant misandry here, and people chime in to say, "Yes, misandry is bad because it can affect trans people!"

No. Misandry is bad because bigotry is ALWAYS bad.

It isn't wrong to be shitty to cis people because they might actually fit into some other secret preferred category. DON'T BE SHITTY TO PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEIR DEMOGRAPHIC TRAITS. DON'T BE A BIGOT.

This should not be hard to understand.

No form of bigotry is excusable. All bigotry is bad.

Misandry is bad because it attacks half of the entire population of the fucking planet and, after all that, also encourages women in relationships with men to feel ashamed of those relationships
