Can you explain how world is notbgreat for LGBT people?

Or is this just about the whole neopronoun thing?

[–] Comrade_Spood@slrpnk.net 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You prove the point by saying "just the neopronoun thing"

Yes, because your phrasing shows your lack of care around bigotry towards people who use neopronouns. Its misgendering plain and simple, no different than if you misgendered a transwoman or transman. It should carry that same weight. And if it doesn't then you are not a trans ally because you are not supporting trans rights, just the ones that fit within your view of normalcy. Purposely misgendering anyone for any reason is insulting, disrespectful, and harmful.

Please take a reality check.

I litterally just said the words "the whole neopronoun thing" to refer to the past drama about neopronouns. Now you are accusing me of being a bigot because saying those words shows "lack of care".

[–] Comrade_Spood@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 year ago

That drama happened in part BECAUSE .world has a problem not moderating enough against transphobia.

I am lgbtq and am not a fan of neo pronounce. Mostly though because in my mother tounge they dont fit in dynamicly at all.

Doesnt mean i am a danger to people like that lol

Listen, I ain't huge on neo-pronouns but I use them anyways because I respect and care about people enough to use their preferred pronouns because no matter your reasons for not liking them, it doesn't out weight the harm and disrespect you are doing to the other person. It is misgendering plain and simple, there is no real difference between misgendering someone who uses neopronouns and misgendering someone who doesn't.

Yep yep yep. I don't like em either but that doesn't matter
