Not even a little bit surprising. It is Trump after all.
A 32 year old trans girl living without easy access to trans affirming care. On DIY-HRT for the last 6 years. She/they please, preferably she/her. Will not tolerate transphobia or bigotry of any kind.
Not even a little bit surprising. It is Trump after all.
Their exact words were “You are a freak who is pretending to be a woman, you are a man and will never be a woman” I then told them I’m getting bottom surgery to correct the problem they said “That’s not a thing, you were born with a penis and testicles and you’ll always have a penis and testicles. Facts over feelings.” I can’t say what they said afterwards because it had a lot of slurs. Suffice to say they weren’t smart enough to be saying my genitals will be male sex, they just meant I would always have a penis.
Yeah I did block them, and reported them. Doubt anything will happen to them for it though. Twitter sucks.
Used to think that cis people normally think that they are girls or dislike their genitals, and that it was a phase I would grow out of. I didn’t, it just got worse and it was from browsing r/egg_irl and r/traa that made me realize that I was wrong and in-denial.
Wasn’t even a BBEG, was just a random NPC in the party that party members would make fun of for being “a man pretending to be a woman”. The character remained in the party through the whole campaign and only served the purpose of being the butt of transphobic humor. I don’t even think they had good stats or abilities.
It always felt uncomfortable when they’d do it. I felt unsafe when they would do it. I bet if they saw me now they’d make those same jokes about me directly. Probably also mock me for pronouns. They weren’t good people, I don’t know why I hung out with them as much as I did. I guess I just wanted to feel like I fit in with others. Well I’m glad I never came out to them even when I found out, that would’ve been really bad for me, instead we just quietly went our separate ways.
I don’t think it’s possible, I tried with some people who I thought were close friends but when they found out I was trans they disowned and bullied me.
I used to have a group I’d play DnD with, it was fun. We don’t talk anymore though because they are right-wing assholes and would never accept me as a trans girl, since they openly made fun of transgender people. There was an NPC character in one of our campaigns which was a “man dressed as a woman” who would always get mocked for it.
Doing okay I guess. Got harassed on Twitter yesterday by some right wing chud claiming that I’ll always have male genitals (really hope he’s wrong and I’ll be able to get surgery in the future 😭 )
They may be aggressive in their methods but they are one of if not the most trans friendly servers in the fediverse. Mostly because they ban people for bigotry and apologists of transphobes. I mean you are a cis person, saying that a space is unfriendly to transphobes because they are a bit on the aggressive side and ban people for bigotry that is real but you don’t see or understand why it is bigotry. It really isn’t your place to tell us trans people that a space meant for trans people is unfriendly to trans people.
Lemmy.world sucks these days, their moderation is poor, and they seem to allow all kinds of bigots and trolls. Someone told me they believe strongly in freedom of speech, this is what it gets them.
If going with lemmy.zip I recommend staying out of most of their local communities, a mod there who runs a good amount of the local communities on lemmy.zip is a transphobia apologist, maybe it won’t bother some people or won’t be an issue to them but generally I find that hanging out in communities run by people like that doesn’t end well when they eventually use their mod powers to push an agenda.
Yeah, and Reddit is one of the most toxic cesspits out there, they only banned subs like fatpeoplehate and itsafetish because of being advertiser friendly. If they hadn’t complained those subs probably still would be up spouting hateful garbage.
I don’t believe that with how many transphobes and trolls run wild there, and they might get banned from communities they still have their accounts on that instance. Who do you think they have that reputation with anyway? I haven’t heard anyone kiss their ass lately, I’ve heard people say anything from that they’re too big to manage effectively, to that they don’t care and allow transphobia to run wild. They aren’t what I think of when thinking of an example of “overall of quality and care”.
My guess is he considers himself an ally and thinks A is for ally lol
Don’t they have a conservative community there? Yeah, pass. They may not nearly have as many transphobes as .world but if they’re tolerant of conservative assholes, they might be in the near future.
Admins indeed can deal with these users, by deleting their content from their instances, and banning them from the site, if they are homed on that specific instance they get banned everywhere when that happens. So it can be dealt with but it takes work from our admins, and since these are communities run by real people and not monolithic corporations, we can speak up and make a difference. Reach out to these admins who are real people.
It does have all the worst qualities of Reddit, including the hate speech and the hateful downvotes, I saw many people on Reddit heavily downvoted in unrelated threads because they were openly trans on their profile. I’ve unfortunately seen the same thing on Lemmy from Lemmy.world comment sections and that’s just in the first 5 days of being here.
I used to wear hoodies a lot because it would cover up my body and help with the dysphoria. I still like them because they’re warm and comfortable, but unlike back then I don’t wear them in the summer when it’s blazing hot out. Other than that I don’t have much preferences, I just wear generic clothes.
I was called a freak by my mother and father who told me I would never be a woman, that I’m a man pretending to be a woman. That I was destroying my body by doing HRT. Average shit from right-wing parents. And they wonder why I don’t talk to them anymore. Maybe your daughter hates you because you refuse to accept her, and repeatedly deadname and misgender her whenever she called you.
Yeah that was most definitely my worst birthday, so glad I cut those dipshits out of my life.
Probably not, also many animes have themes they probably don’t like.
