    why do you refer to yourself in the third person? and why did you link to that comment thread at almost the end? i had to hit “show context” like 15 times to have any idea what the fuck was happening.

    neither of these things are helping with people’s confusion. you are aggressively insisting that everyone understands and agrees with your viewpoint on a niche side of a niche community. you can’t expect people to understand the context without being deeeeep in that community. this is probably one of the most trans friendly spaces on the Internet. calling the space generally transphobic is a little too victim complexy.

    anything that’s more of a safe space than this is going to be a complete and total echo chamber with no opposing or dissenting views on anything whatsoever. if you want to go somewhere where people can’t disagree with you, it sounds like your own discord server where you can ban people for that is the only option.

        i and me aren’t gendered pronouns. you’re just using the third person…

        pronoun replacements like that are for he/him/her/herself/whatever. unless you’re implying that you aren’t you somehow? replacing first person pronouns like that just means you’re using the third person all the time.

        why do you feel the need to do that? what is wrong with i and me? is "you’ out of bounds too?

          Drag would feel respected in drag’s gender identity if you used drag’s preferred second person pronouns, yes. But you don’t have to.

          That’s a whole lot of reply for having not even read what drag said. “person independent pronoun”. It’s a pronoun that functions indepent of first/second/third person case.

          I reckon respecting pronouns means respecting pronouns, not just the ones you approve of. You wouldn’t try and tell somebody that their name or spelling thereof is wrong just because you don’t like it would ya?

        This entire time I just thought you were talking in the third person as some sort of novelty account.
