I think it has been reclaimed by the community, though I'm doubtful that the old man with a MAGA hat who called me a dyke is aware of that or using it in that kind of way (yes he was literally wearing a MAGA hat).

I know that it's an awful and homophobic slur but it made me feel weirdly validated to be called a slur that's usually only used on women (lesbians). I don't know, it's weird. Part of me is upset that they called me a homophobic slur but a part of me is also euphoric for being referred to, even indirectly as a woman. Does anyone else relate to this experience?

(By the way I'm a transfem lesbian.)

I heard that. I noticed a tiny bit of soreness occasionally but I'm not sure if it's because I slept weird or if it's working.

Yup they're your typical transphobic bigot who's mad that someone actually stands up against them and won't tolerate them. It's important to challenge these types of people so that the mask can slip off and they reveal themselves for who they really are.

I agree, I'm sick of this too. These types of debates are shitty and trying to honor them or play along doesn't do anyone any favors.

I have nothing against Transgenders

Yet you choose to use deliberately dehumanizing language to describe us... Interesting.

Remember kids, when people hate on Blahaj and other Trans safe spaces, there is always a deeper reason. It's either lack of understanding of the trans experience, or outright bigotry and disdain for those who protect trans and queer people.

I'm little more than a month into HRT, it feels like forever though. Sometimes I wonder if it's even working. I get my blood tested so I know my estrogen levels are good, but damn it just takes forever 😢

I wouldn't describe it as authoritarian. That implies unjust use of authority. Their harshness towards transphobes is justified and necessary, because transphobes are an existential threat towards trans people, and queer people as a whole. It's not authoritarian, it's protective.

Farewell lemm.ee (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Despite its challenges lemm.ee will forever hold a special place inside my heart. When I signed up to lemm.ee I was younger, more aggressive. Less mature. I did many things to hurt people, I didn't realize that it was because I myself was hurting inside, it took me far longer to realize that. And even though it was communities on lemmy.blahaj.zone who helped me find myself. I still feel that I owe some of it to this instance who gave me a home here when no one else would've. Thank you to everyone here who tolerated the rude and aggressive young man I used to be, so I could finally come out as the woman I always was, so I could realize the pain I always had but never knew I had. And for that I want to say thanks to lemm.ee. lemm.ee wasn't just a server, it was a community. I hope I can have new and joyful experiences on lemmy.blahaj.zone, but no place will feel more like home to me than this place. Farewell lemm.ee. You will be missed.
