Jude Bacalso, the self-proclaimed champion of gender identity, is back in the spotlight after forcing a poor waiter to stand for two hours as penance for the heinous crime of calling him “sir.”

Bacalso, who believes in justice through public humiliation, has once again proven that the only way to teach respect is through sheer tyranny. Apparently, being “misgendered” three times in one lifetime warrants a medieval form of punishment, because why waste time on educating people when you can just berate them into submission?

The fact that there’s no law against “misgendering” seems to have escaped Bacalso’s grasp, but no matter! Demanding recognition for one’s gender preference clearly requires a healthy dose of arrogance and entitlement. After all, it’s not respect through kindness that will change the world — it’s forcing others to conform through public shaming. Bacalso, truly a hero for our times.
