This post is a great idea. I never make full threads, if they took off it would stress me out

[–] idkmybffjoeysteel@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Don't worry in my experience you do not need to worry about your threads taking off ;_;

I get really mad about comments being removed by moderators, both here and on reddit. I get obsessive about it. Is it a neurodivergent thing, since I obsess so much and want to argue over shit? am I just an asshole? idk. But the more I disagree with the rationale for removal the more angry about it I get. Like one time a trans user was talking about the need for hair removal surgery and someone asked a clarifying question about the necessity of it, and I chimed in to say that, although I did not know this for sure, I was pretty sure it's medically necessary to ensure that everything heals properly after subsequent bottom surgeries, so there aren't random hair follicles growing in where they shouldn't, getting infected, etc., which ended up being the right answer.

So my comment was 100% in good faith, respectful, and trying to be helpful and offer clarification. But I referred to OP as "they," and she accused me of misgendering her????? for using a gender neutral pronoun??????? which I did because it did not seem to matter (the comment was 99% medical explanation and like one reference to the OP) and... how can a gender neutral pronoun misgender???? like going into a gender neutral bathroom isn't a misgendering experience, is it? it's... neutral?????? and then a mod removed it

as you can see I still really disagree about that, and I'm probably partially mad about it because I resent the implication that I did something malicious? but idk

this happened well over a year ago, why do I still think about it

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

in the future, just say sorry and swap it out

[–] Comradesexual@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago (3 children)

As a neurodivergent person, I get it. I wish people had the patience to reconsider their possible ableism. But I'm not trans, so I cannot judge the person. Maybe people use neutral terms as soft ways to misgender the person frequently. Idk. I am sorry. :(

To hexbear mods the remove comment button is kind of their version of a downvote. But trans people can get quite sensitive abiut gender neutral pronouns, because they can be used as a socially acceptable way to avoid using their preferred pronouns, an act that is of course incredibly shitty.

At the hospital rn cuz our dog bit my mom's hand and it's infected 😞

She's getting IV antibiotics and I'm knitting and reading to pass the time

[–] Comradesexual@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 years ago

I am so sorry. I am connecting with the universe to manifest a swift recovery. I hope she's not in any/much pain.

They should make an ordeal of being known that isn't mortifying imo

[–] Comradesexual@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I thought you liked me knowing you. 。°(°.◜ᯅ◝°)°。

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I do, it's the ordeal that mortifies and imo they need to change it

[–] Comradesexual@lemmygrad.ml 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Whenever someone interacts with you, remember, they're more scared of you than they are of them. It's because everyone else is actually a mass of spiders pretending to be humans.

We love being perceived, don't we folks. A lot of people are saying it. Even the handsome generals are saying it.

Being mean is easy. Being nice is challenging.

How do i be kind? Is it a mix of the two? Is it something else?
