Edit: I also just got banned for apparently being a troll. Me. Not the person they believe to be a dragon though.

    Except the discussion hinges around people trying to claim that drag’s pronouns aren’t valid. That isn’t their place to decide. That is why they got banned.

      No, the discussion doesn’t. You, the admin, and several others have misinterpreted the argument. The user has been banned across communities for trolling, misgendering, encouraging suicide, bad faith accusations, moderator harassment, and advocating violence. The user has posted comments that are racist and advocating for bestiality. The user has cyberstalked and harassed a Lemmy.world mod to misgender the mod’s daughter.

      The user has declared themself to not be a human. You know that to be impossible.

      This isn’t about the pronouns. We are on your side. The troll is attempting to discredit you and your communities.

        I want to make this clear too: I have trans people in my life. I would never interrogate them on gender or sexuality and judge whether it was “valid” in this way. I do get why the whole concept or anything adjacent to it could make people lose their shit.

        That’s not what’s going on here, with this user. The way you said it is a good way. They’re not even claiming to be transgender, that I know of, and the only conceptual overlap is that of pronouns, but somehow that is enough to trigger this thing that I think is protecting them and putting them in the “ally” category.

        We only insist on using the correct pronouns. What’s the purpose of arguing the validity of a supposed troll’s identity when there’s plenty of actions to criticize? How often do we need to tell you that the correct response to a trolls is NOT to start misgendering them or similar, before you get it?

          We only insist on using the correct pronouns.

          And the idea of ‘dragonfucker’ as a gender identity, don’t forget, which is what most of the people removed were removed for.

            People got banned for responding to a post by the admin herself titled “Neopronouns are not trolling”. They literally started arguing with an admin right then and there about whether some user’s identity / pronouns are valid. I don’t know what other outcome you expect.

      I think the LGBT+ movement needs a reality check if they want to cut the rest of society out of that discussion.

        Why would “the rest of society” need to be on a lemmy instance dedicated to being a safe space for trans people?

          We don’t need to be. And as those of us in the reality-based community are apparently not welcome, many of us will be leaving.
