Tbh this whole post is a goldmine of cis lemmitors discussing how overly sensitive they think trans people are around pronouns.

I am literally the cissiest person in the planet, but I will try to make spaces safe for trans people, for no other reason than anti-trans people are the worst humans imaginable.

I mean, same, but also because I love our trans comrades cat-trans

Olympian-level mental gymnastics to defend misgendering someone clown

You got a half dozen listed acceptable pronouns and they still misgendered you? That’s impressive.

[-] Edie@hexbear.net 25 points 1 month ago

OPs app didn't display my pronouns, it honored the newlines I put in there

I know, saw that and was like, wtf. You have some of the most pronouns listed I have seen, and they somehow defaulted to he/him? That's ridiculous.

[-] Edie@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

To be entirely fair, I have been fucking about with my display name (adding newlines in it), and the user who got banned seems to have been using an app that was affected by this

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Ah, gotcha. Still, the ones defending the misgendering are fucked.

Still, that's good information to have, glad OP didn't seem to do it out of malice and owned up to it.

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago

I mean, i get that people make mistakes, may not see pronoun tags etc., where it gets interesting is how people react when you mention to them they misgendered somebody and ask them to correct it. Like, you'll literally post "hey, this person's pronouns are (... / ...), your post misgenders that person, can you please edit this?" and they'll immediately go into berserk mode. It would take literal seconds to fix, but instead people like that will go and write post after post about how you're violating their freeze peach, and then on how rude it is to call them out on their transphobia, ad nauseam until they get the banhammer. And then they go to some instance where they aren't banned yet and whine about how fragile and mean hexbear users are.

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

Exactly, libs take one scratch and join the fash. It separates the well-intentioned from the people who were always internally transphobic.

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

And none of them seem to get that they got banned for doubling and trippling down on the misgendering instead of "for just accidentally making a tiny mistake".

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

I think they do get it usually, they just twist it when malding to stir up a hate-storm

[-] roux@hexbear.net 24 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That motherfucker wrote a whole ass book and segmented it with a "therefore" like it's some kind of master thesis on gender instead of just correcting theirself, didn't they?

[-] Cowbee@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

Tons and tons of flaming hoops.

Misgendering the idea vs misgendering the trans. Perchance

"Calling attention to my unaddressed racism makes you the real racist"-ass gender politics.

Some people care way more about feeling like they're in the right than doing what's right.

"Calling attention to my unaddressed racism makes you the real racist"-ass gender politics.

Unironically how my Lemmy.ml account got banned from Playstation@Lemmy.zip, the mod made a post complaining about DEI in God of War so I called them out on it and they banned me for "racism." They ended up abandoning the community and said that I "proved them right."

Some people care way more about feeling like they're in the right than doing what's right.

100%, it's incredibly easy to not be transphobic.

Would be hillarious if our mods just preemptively ban everybody who agrees with that dork.

What if race blindness but for queers and also incomprehensible

The whole point of the fediverse is to misgender people

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The lengths people will go to in order to defend being a dickhead to marginalized groups rather than just simply not being a dickhead is astonishing sometimes

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It’s absurd! A simple apology does a lot more than a chud-esque explanation and revision of events. If you have already offended people, explaining why you offended them is not going to fix it. Just apologize and sit the fuck down!

yeah i saw that whole screed, atleast the op seemed to take something good out of it, but that whole thread is filled with cissues

Says everyone should default to gender neutral language online and uses that as a reason why it's okay to not use gender neutral language online.

That's.... certainly a take

[-] anarcho_blinkenist@hexbear.net 22 points 1 month ago

hey chaos not only is that a weird contorted logic to whine about pronouns and pretend you have real reasons to do it


you also type like shit. what are you even doing? When I'm saying your sentences are incomprehensibly scatterbrained and run-on, shape the fuck up

[-] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 21 points 1 month ago

Jesus, appreciate these comments. I couldn't even parse the argument this clown is trying to make. I legit thought I might be having a stroke trying to follow the thought, because it's ~80% word salad. I weep for the people this person emails if they have an email job.

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

The word salad is mostly due to them starting to realize they are wrong and don’t know how to make it right without being on the “losing end” of the discussion. A simple apology means they lost an argument on the internet, which your average redditor cannot accept.

Instead they will go into a lengthy nonsensical explanation that eventually ends in the victim of their transgression being wrong.

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 1 month ago

I hereby offer anime avatars an apology. AI avatars produce a whole new level of cringe I didn't know was even possible.

[-] M68040@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

“Get everyone to use gender neutral language”, as though that isn’t a potentially much bigger reach than getting people to respect binary sex where it’s manually specified in fairly straightforward language

People shit themselves at a they/them…

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

That reads like it was written by a bad chatbot. Line what would happen if you just entered only suggested words on your phone

[-] Ithorian@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

The entire Internet is just cis white males. Sorry I didn't make the rules.

This whole shit reads like simulation theory but for liberals scratched by trans comrades. They are a breath and a half from 'we're all NPCs here so your gender shouldn't and doesn't matter to me'.

This is unintelligible. You're not James Joyce, stop writing like the last chapter of Ulysses.

[-] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 15 points 1 month ago

I saw that thread and it was incredibly stupid. "Of course I need to call you a man, the reddit meme that I dare not tweak at all says so! I can't just say woman or say something original!"

[-] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

Imagine dying on a hill to defend redditisms
