You’re still mad about this? YDI.
I don’t misgender you when you say something stupid, because I don’t misgender anyone for being stupid. My girlfriend held me emotionally hostage for the final 3 years of our relationship, and I don’t misgender her despite me helping her come to terms with being trans and helping her transition.
I get it Pug, you’re just really wanting to do something dehumanizing to someone you don’t like. I don’t like Drag, and I also don’t like Grail. You know what I did? I blocked them both. I didn’t go “well sure you identify as that, but fuck you I don’t wanna bother with any of that.”
Weird how no one tries to argue for the right to deadname or misgender horrid people who’ve committe actual horrid actions, but someone was a dick on the internet? “I NEED TO NOT HAVE MY FREEZE PEACH REMOVED TO CALL SOMEONE SOMETHING THEY AREN’T”
Pug, you’re a smart person. I know you are. You have written about complex topics decently well to where I can understand it. I don’t think you’re somehow a secret transphobe, you just have a blind spot you can get a better mirror to have an introspection at. I’ve had my own issues with neopronouns that I am still working on myself. A friend of mine uses it/its pronouns, and I have a hard time to use it when speaking, but not in text. I’ve also had biases with other statuses of people they can’t control, such as plural/systems.
How many months have you been hung up about Drag? It’s more than your time could have been spent with something better about yourself or those around you.
You’ve been told repeatedly by Ada and other admins “Stop it, you have no proof they’re lying about their pronouns, you can block and move on.” and you kept going. If the shoe was on the other foot where a Tankie constantly bothered you, you’d advocate for them to be banned from their instance/places you frequent.
At some point Pug, you have to learn to be better. You’ve had months. It takes time to learn better, no one is perfect out of the womb. But I don’t think you are trying to learn, you’re just drawing a line in the sand of “Well I can agree with everything about queer people but these queer people, they bother me.”
You’re really laying it on thick here how much you love queer people. Slippery slope fallacies galore.
“Gay people wanna be married? What’s next, men and dogs?! Men and chairs?!”
