PWHP (People Who Have Penises), or IWHP (Individuals Who Have Penises), is a term for anyone who has a penis, regardless of gender.

PWHP is a term designed to combat the ideology that having a penis is what makes one a man and to promote gender-neutral language and terms.

Other terms used for this concept include PHN (People Having Neither) or, formerly, PON (People of Neither) and ION (Individuals of Neither) PWHN includes individuals who were born neither with a penis nor a vagina and individuals who have had sex reassignment surgery and have neither a penis nor a vagina.

At some point, I think people have to contend with the fact that misgendering isn't a completely a universally agreed upon concept in the specific sense that misgendering can be very personal.
What may be misgendering to you will not be to other trans people - even if they have the same gender as you. You may be misgendered if somebody used the wrong label to describe you (e.g., somebody calling you "girl," even if it is slang), but that does not mean that that will apply to everybody.
It's important to recognize this because so often, people will say things like, "you can't use this label/phrase/term for any trans person who is a [gender]! And if any trans person who is a [gender] uses those labels/phrases/terms, they're wrong and bad!" and that is simply too broad a generalization.
It's fine to be uncomfortable with certain things like this. It is fine if you don't want to be misgendered, and indeed, I share in that sentiment. However, that does not mean that your comforts and discomforts apply to all trans people or all trans people who share your gender. There's a difference in that, I think.

*clutching head* rodya and meursault would have such a good dynamic actually
I wonder if rodya would initially see meursault's indifference as like. a simpler version of her own feigned carefreeness and as a deliberate attempt to place himself as an outsider... only to realise that No, he really Is just Like That. and then she gets annoyed because it turns out that people who don't care about anything don't seem to be any fun.
(ofc he does actually care about a lot of things, just not necessarily his grander place in the world lol)
idk. nihilism vs absurdism. fun duo 👍 rodya would find meursault's genuine comfort with being a speck of dust in the universe baffling, while he would probably find her desire to assert her own importance pointless, but they could probably bond over little things like their shared desire to live in the present and appreciation of/indulgence in earthly joys. and meursault would probably listen if rodya wants to rant about anything without asking any uncomfortable questions. I think they could appreciate each other's presence.

"Andrea should've fired Frank a long time ago because of his rudeness and drinking" You all say you want complicated characters and yet aren't willing to admit certain things are apart of that character's flaws. Yes, Andrea should've given some sort of punishment to Frank for his behaviour even pre-Paradise City, but you all are forgetting the fact a whole aspect of her character is that she struggles to see the bad in people she cares about. She does care about Frank a lot, no matter if you look at it from a platonic or romantic POV, and this care for Frank makes her look past his flaws as he does get the job done and she has likely known him for a while now. Also, you all are so adamant with her firing Frank, but if she kept that same 'no fucking around and doing dumb shit' standard up for the rest of the crew we wouldn't have Hannah because of what happens in inner city, we wouldn't have Roxie because of her constant joking about the dead, etc. My point is, you all keep on making the whole 'Andrea should've fired Frank' argument while not understanding that she is like that because of how much she cares about the team, especially Frank.
