All I did was look at “leave Brittany alone” on google and then click wikipedia. Everything I shared here is public info and thus I didnt invade anyones privacy? This comment chain has been fairly low importance/care, I dont think any of here care about her gender all that much more than you do. The last few comments where just about the awkward nature of potentially misgendering someone by accident
Yeah, I agree, this chain has mostly been about the awkward parts of it. I didn’t mean to imply you invaded her privacy, someone may have in the pursuit of the information, but I certainly didn’t mean to imply that was you.
Regardless, whether her privacy was invaded or not, the information is now out there about her, and that is what I had assumed you were referring to. The misunderstanding stems from my comments; specifically that when such a question is raised, some may seek that information quite enthusiastically, even if obtaining it means that you’re invading their privacy. I don’t know if that’s what occurred, but the fervent pursuit of relatively trivial information, damaging someone’s right to privacy in the process is questionable at best. I’m just trying to make a comment on the ethics and morals of those that desire information for no better reason than to have it about someone they don’t even know.
I would rather not think that people would simply disregard her rights just to have a trivial question answered, but I don’t have that much faith in humanity.
I’m certain you’re fine and you’ve done nothing wrong in this instance. I apologize if my words implied any differently. That was not my intention.
Thats fair enough and a valid point! I do have a tendency to use the internet to double check facts, but in cases such that it might intrude on privacy, I try to keep it to a basic search so that I can minimize that risk. In this case it was just confusion on the presenting gender of a person from a meme, and so I double checked if I was the one in the wrong, turns out I was right in a way I wasnt expecting. I hope you have a pleasant day as well!
