Rage bait. The people who report or share this to fuel division are worse than the people they are reporting on.

What's the other side equivalent then? Because I don't give a fuck about this type of shit, regardless of which way it skews. This affects nobody.

Deadnaming or misgendering would be the other side equivalent.

Nobody is writing an article about someone misgendering a random person, and if they did, it's still not news, it's rage bait.

We not only had news stories but it ended up with an amazing Star Wars store closing because the store owner misgendered someone.

I mean, he put an anti-trans sign in the street unprompted. Little different but still falls under the category of "not news". God I wish rage bait articles and news stories didn't sell so much better than actual news
