Rep. Keith Self misgendered Sarah McBride last year and she misgendered him right back, "Thank you, Madam Speaker”! I've heard mixed ethical to the ethics of misgendering cis people (is misgendering never okay?) so I'm curious about your thoughts?

All I can is that in my high school days if a teacher had intentionally misgendered a student all of us (and that's every student) would have misgendered that teacher right back. And it's the sort of thing that would stick thru their entire time at the school.

He's the future King of England, and a decade ago he did something no royal had ever dared: he put his face on the cover of a gay magazine. Today Prince William turns 44.
It was 2016, just days after the Orlando nightclub massacre, when William fronted Attitude and sat down with young LGBTQ people who'd been bullied to breaking point. His message to them was simple: you have nothing to be ashamed of.
Three years later he became the first royal to visit an LGBTQ youth homelessness charity, where someone asked how he'd react if one of his kids came out. "Absolutely fine by me," he said - his only worry being how cruel the world might be to them.
When footballer Jake Daniels came out in 2022, William was there with public support. Quietly, he's become the most openly pro-LGBTQ senior royal we've got.

Trans persons are real.
So is God.
Religions are artificial, irrefutably human constructs.
It's a foolish error to conflate God and religion.

Far smarter people than anyone posting here have been trying to prove the existence of god for centuries with absolutely no success.
BTW, if we're going to claim that god is real the obvious question is "Which god?".
Proving a falsehood, no matter how desperately believed, is unachievable folly.
Demonstrating the truth may not even qualify as a challenge.
Those that do not know, as well as those that do, are free to stroll through the forest, find a stout tree, and introduce themselves.
If the tree is emblazoned with a MADE IN CHINA sticker, and a California Prop 65 Cancer & Reproductive Harm Warning Label pick another.
This error is a conflation of God and religion, the latter having little if anything to do with the former.
With that clarification the question might seem to be not "Which god", but "which religion".
Volumes have been written on this. To condense all that down to a simple enlightening paragraph or two:
In our universe there are things that are man-made, including religion, and "everything else", the planet Jupiter for example.
"Everything else" is called creation. And there can't be a creation without a creator. Some that have insinuated themselves as experts call that creator "God".
Why squabble? Those that prefer "creation" are equally free to say so.
The catastrophic divergence begins when human religious constructs are falsely tied to this natural process.
The Holy Bible is fine. BUT !
It's an artifact, a curiosity of history. Those interested in studying religion should heed it.
Those interested in studying God should stroll in the forest, with both eyes & mind wide open.
