I get it, I get it. I talk like a nonbinary person who has opinions. And that's not what the patriarchy has conditioned people to expect, so there's a reaction of fear and uncertainty from people used to living in the patriarchy.
Ada the Admin is in a position where she has the technical skills to run a platform, and the social skills, but not the political skills. Political skills include things like identifying dogwhistles, understanding the relationships between different kinds of bigotry, and knowing how to identify a problematic worldview from an unrelated comment. I told Ada that one of the users had offensive views, and a day later that user was misgendering me and spouting misogyny. Ada didn't believe me because she doesn't understand trans issues well enough, and when time proved I was right, she stuck to her guns when she should have been taking tips on how to create a safe space. What Ada has done is create a space where it is unsafe for trans people to defend themselves from bigotry more complex than Ada can personally understand. And Ada puts little effort into understanding bigotry. This is dangerous.
Oh hey, you're talking about me. Yes, a user on blahaj repeatedly misgendered me after they claimed to be apolitical and I warned the admins they were a transphobe. Yes, the admins did nothing about it. Yes, someone made a pass at me in PMs and then acted transphobic on my posts. Yes, the chaser pinged me while harassing someone who was repeatedly asking to be left alone. Yes, I got the chaser banned from .world and SLRPNK for harassing them. Yes, the chaser who got banned was harassing someone who didn't want to talk about politics, because she wanted to argue her point that people shouldn't be forced to talk about politics. Yes, she was a hypocrite and a disgusting person and I am unsettled by her advances towards me. No, I am not the same person that chaser harassed, but I am a person that chaser harassed. Yes, the chaser also made a post in which they leaked their private messages to me and tried to dox me. A lot of what you have said here is true and it's the parts concerning disgusting behaviour from chasers in the community, and that's why I don't use blahaj anymore. I got here because Hexbear was making fun of you for obsessing over me.
Well yeah, you got called a bigot because you said something that wasn't true. A trans person is someone whose gender identity differs from their assigned gender at birth. Did you try apologising and correcting yourself?
I'm not a troll. You can go look up my new Hexbear account I made after they told me Hexbear wasn't transphobic, and you can see me talking about my gender consistently for the past week, and you can see transphobes on Hexbear calling me an anti-hexbear troll because they think swarmgenders are a joke.
I also saw that same user tag a Lemmy.world admin to tell them to ban a trans Blahaj user for being a chaser
Oh, you mean the chaser who was harassing a lemmy.world user and who had been warned by the admins that if they kept engaging they'd be banned? That chaser? The chaser who also got banned from SLRPNK.net, which is where they were harassing the .world user?
Trans people are capable of transphobia because not every trans person in the world knows everything in the world about trans issues.
Hey, you're talking about me! Yes, I was repeatedly misgendered by a user who claimed to be apolitical. Yes, I warned the admins that this user was going to be transphobic and they did nothing. Yes, I believe that trans people are capable of transphobia, because not every trans person knows every single thing in the universe about being trans.
Either they're a tankie and start singing the praises of the USSR and PRC and all sorts of totalitarian hellholes, or they start talking about hypothetical economic systems and states which haven't been shown to be practically achievable
Well allow me to present the third option: communism has been tried in Australia and North America, and it worked. Marx's ideas of what a communist society would look like were informed by descriptions he read of how the Haudenosaunee people actually organised their society. They did communism for thousands of years and it worked.
That sounds pretty statist. How do you square that with the fact communism is stateless?
I don't think Monster has become part of transfem culture. IDK maybe I'm just old. Get off my lawn
Reality is god to realists. That's what they believe in. They worship it, they obey it, they demand others have the same respect for it. It's theism.
I don't believe you're an atheist, because you believe in reality. That's religious thinking.
Only one, my girlfriend. The rest of us don't identify as people
Anyway, maybe it wouldn't hurt so much if you weren't trying to read my mind without consent. No means no, but you didn't even ask. No wonder you're in pain, you tried to delve inside my mind and I kicked you back out.
Yeah, I'm neurodivergent in a lot of different ways, and every one of them reduces the efficacy of neurotypical empathy. That sensation you're experiencing right now from talking to me is the same way neurotypical people feel when they talk to you. No wonder neurotypicals are so ableist to autistics, talking to us causes them pain. But it's still not right for them to demand we think like them, and it's still not right for you to demand I think like you. What we have to learn is how to coexist together.
And any coexistence we reach isn't going to involve always assuming we can read minds effectively. It's just an unrealistic standard.
Hey come on, leave the ableism at the door. This is the last place you should be attacking people's differences in the way their minds work. I'm not going to think like neurotypical society and I'm not going to mind-meld with the neurotypical hivemind. So you can stop demanding I have sex with you, please.
Don't forget that believing in a reality beyond the senses is a religion too. All atheists are solipsists.
