      No this is probably one of the most chill decently big spaces for trans people on the internet. There will always be trolls but to say that “lemmy hates trans people” is kinda wild.

        In this very thread people are arguing that trans people using neopronouns are being weird and bad

          I mean yeah posts like these are like fresh meat for the hungry wolves that are transphobes. Where else would they gather if not here.

        Drag spoke to the mods of that community and they decided that the ban for encouraging suicide wasn’t justified, because drag didn’t actually encourage suicide.

        Then they changed their minds for secret reasons they wouldn’t tell drag.

        Drag suspects it might be related to that one guy who created an alt account to harass himself and pinged all his friends, so all his friends would think he was being harassed. He thought that trans people existing was an attempt to offend him.

        Anyway, please don’t spread false rumours about drag having any banned alt accounts. Drag only has the one alt at lemmy.world, and drag hardly uses it. And in any case, this is a meme community, not the place to bring drama.

          I see where drag is coming from, but saying “don’t commit suicide, kill other people and die in battle instead!” also isn’t very… ‘positive’ for lack of a better word.

            This was in the days after Donald Trump won the election, when everyone was already hopeless. Drag reminded the hopeless people that we need to stand up and fight instead of laying down and doing Trump’s job for him.

            That poster refers to themselves as such and will harass and villainize anyone who doesn’t do so

              Drag would never dream of demanding anyone use drag’s preferred pronouns. That would be just horrible. Drag is always polite to people who don’t respect drag’s neopronouns and use “they” instead.

      Most don’t, but there’s a very vocal minority who do. The lady in the picture is Philomena Cunk, a well meaning reporter with a head full of bricks. She’s a satirical character who makes fun of news media, pop culture, and political viewpoints. You shouldn’t take anything she says entirely seriously. The meme only exists to make the point that people who think pretending to be trans is an effective troll hate trans people. Here’s another example of the format which drag made a few hours ago:

        Philomena Cunk (stage name.) is a satirical/comedy presenter. Well meaning or intelligence don’t come in to. Stop trying to be divisive.

          Did you think drag was insulting the actor’s intelligence? You do know Philomena Cunk is a fictional character, right? She’s written to be dumb, it’s part of the joke. The writing on her shows is very good, she’s a very believable sort of fool.
