I will not tolerate third gendering of trans people on my feed.
If you're going to do that transphobic crap, be gone.
🇳🇱
@LWFlouisa Not sure ive seen that or can picture what you mean.
@freemo I mean women's only spaces are basically taken for granted.
Why trans people do not continues to frankly baffle me.
They're not doing anything to lesson the danger we face.
@freemo I mean it's people like that why transphobic people have come out of the word work.
They're not doing anything to try to lesson the danger it is to be trans.
If you see the word pansexual flowing around, it's usually some asshole that doesn't understand what being trans means.:/
@freemo And the fact its happening in a community I used to hold dear, just shows back truly backwards political correctness has gone.
Political correctness wasn't meant to be infiltrated by the same people that hate everything it means to be that minority.
@LWFlouisa I know many people who consider themselves pansexual. But none of the people I personally know would consider that having any relationship to transsexuality. They usually use it to mean that they have many different modes of sexuality they express.
But i dont think these are the people your referring to either, I dunno. Maybe i just never saw the problem cause im not in those circles.
@freemo In that context I can understand.
@freemo I usually only see it on Tumblr and Wattpad (owned by big monopolies), but the fact its happening on Mastodon is embarassing.
@freemo It's not even the norm here, its just such people really make themselves loud in trans circles.:/
@LWFlouisa I think id have to see it to understand the problem.
@freemo Basically Wattpad recently created a new forum to solve the old problems the old social network forums did: social media trolls derailing and misrepresenting your comments.
Now that they made the new design official, now suddenly the forum trolls are back.
The problem, clearly, is not design, but enforcement.
@freemo On a note about Wattpad, they even trash creative commons, by ... you might guess...
Russia Russia Russia.
@freemo And so you have people that don't understand anything ... about anything, basically turning the forums back into this stupid shit I was trying to avoid: role playing, clique harboring, nonsense encouraging bile of crap.
@freemo The most infuriating part is, they already stated that role playing threads against forum rules. If you're going to have such rules, enforce them.
@freemo I'm of the mind the fewer, but actually enforced rules, is better than lots of rules nobody pays attention to.
@freemo These people basically misappropriating trans only spaces, and distorting the meaning of being trans, but making being trans look like its a third gender.
Its an issue places like Tumblr has had for a while.
