Some people consider race-mixing serious, that doesn't mean that I have to treat their considerations with equal respect.
Didn't realize the basis of the instance was that dragons were real.
But you said:
But I was only 'mean about it' in the context of being accused of being a transphobe for having the opinion. I was not part of the conversation 'til then. I was not the one who brought up the issue. I didn't come out of nowhere to attack someone for saying they're a dragon - Drag, even, has commented numerous times on my posts without me getting into a fight with them about it. I was accused of being transphobic, I defended myself from the accusation by pointing out my rationale, and I get tone-policed for bitching on that after an admin comes from another instance and bans me? Fucking really?
At no point have I commented along the lines of 'feeling different on the inside' being invalid. The question is whether 'feeling different' is gender. Should I regard my gender as 'gassy' after a trip to Taco Bell?
... bruh, how much scientific literature on trans issues have you actually read.
... Again, right in this comment chain. Thats what I was talking about. At no point prior to my last comment - where I explicitly said I feel it was overstepping - did I day anything about what happened other than in this thread.
I'm going to skip the other parts that are, again, going to just make me repeat things ive previously said.
A decent bit, actually. I tend to read scientific papers and white papers, one of my friends and former coworkers was transitioning, I had questions, she sent me a ton of info (knowing I'd find it helpful). Because she's an awesome friend and knows me and how I process stuff.
Don't assume.
I think I'm done for tonight.
This is when you started calling me a dick:
Saying dragons aren't real is dickish, but calling someone a dick... isn't?
Then you should know that it's very much a question wrapped up in hormones and brain chemistry. Are you aware that non-human species have very different hormonal balances and brain chemistry compared to human beings?
Quite a bit more than that, including our understanding of genetic expression continually evolving.
Anyway, like I said, I'm done for tonight. Enjoy your night.
