The Dragon saga is likely the dumbest fedi drama I've witnessed in the last two years I've been a resident here. If one major goal is fighting the stigma of mental illness within the community, this ain't it.

There is a minority of the Trans community that can best be summarized by the observation that “calling everyone they/them as a rule” is unacceptable to this subsection. You must be utterly inclusive to everyone, without hesitation and unquestioningly - first it was someone demanding to be called a goddess, then someone insisting they identified as a dragon. To the uninformed outsider (me), they sound exactly like that one theater kid every school had, but it’s just as likely that they’re just a troll taking the piss out of the inclusivity of the community, which is almost funnier.

I think most people can agree if you don’t wanna be your birth assigned gender, sure! Go for it. But I’m not playing along with someone’s sexual fantasy, I’m just gonna use they/them. .blahaj admins feel differently, and that’s their prerogative - 196 already fractured from that subsection over this issue.

I thought we already settled this on r/TumblrInAction… wait, what year is this, 2015?

I would avoid bringing up tumblrinaction with how they turned into a cesspool of genuine horrific transphobia.
