They're doing it to disrespect you. Don't believe their bullshit. Some cis people are so insecure that they can't get others to like them unless they make someone else look worse. They just want to feel powerful but in the end you're the one they're getting validation from which makes you more powerful than all of them combined.
Basically Hegelian dialectics. The identity of those in power is dictated by their contrast with those without power, but this means that the actual power over that identity lies in those they cast as lesser than themselves. It's why Fox News is always freaking out and stirring shit about something like Bad Bunny doing a half-time show in Spanish but they don't blink at Trump posting racist memes and openly calling the country a garbage fire.
Their privilege is challenged by any empowering action from those who pay the cost of that inequality, but literal disgusting behavior by those who share that privilege doesn't threaten anything they care about. Which, paradoxically, shows exactly what needs doing to upend their dominance. Disregarding and subverting their status quo is the most powerful thing you can do to overturn the whole mess.
So a self-possesed and unashamed trans person who is willing to stand up and act as though they're worthy of respect is terrifying. The backlash means we're getting somewhere, and it shows the cracks in their armor. That's why pride matters, and why pride is a target.
I couldn't have said it better myself. That does make me a little more optimistic
No they aren't. Most of my colleagues are really sweet and I'm also liked by pretty much everyone at the workplace. If it would be a thing if disrespect then I could handle it.
You just said the misgendering got worse meaning that they got your pronouns right before. They aren't ignorant. They know what they're doing.
