You do not misgender a transgender person even if you dislike them personally.

You don’t fat shame a fat person even if you find them morally repulsive as an individual.

in the same spirit, please stop shaming women for “aging poorly”, even if they’re racist scum. Not because they don’t deserve to be mocked, but because there are vulnerable people that see themselves in your insults. In this society hyper fixated on women’s youth, a lot of women who cannot shield themselves behind wealth or fame, already ashamed they might be aging fast, are hearing you make fun of other women for “aging like milk”. and even if you would never insult them to their face, they still hear how looking “old” as a woman is ridiculous, laughable, worth of scorn.

You want to make fun of a woman for being bigoted and racist? Perfect, attack the traits that you want to attack and mock that woman for being bigoted and racist! That simple!

please stop mocking people for physical traits they cannot control

there are always good people who share the same traits and you’re making them feel ashamed just because you couldn’t find anything better to mock in a particular person you dislike

you wouldn’t mock someone for being fat or looking old if you didn’t already thought those traits were laughable. DISLIKING A PERSON IS NOT A FREE PASS TO VOICE YOUR PREJUDICES
