You are debating that drag is an asshole and has an identity that is challenging for you, so it’s okay to completely disregard an instance rule. Correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m saying that when I started posting on Blahaj, I didn’t realize that “Don’t offend people’s gender identities” meant “Dragons are real, and they post on this instance”
Inclusion and Acceptance
Embracing inclusion and acceptance means listening when people tell you who they are and what their needs are. It means not telling people that you know their experiences better than they do. It means not gatekeeping experiences of identities of others. It means no bigotry such as racism, sexism, anti LGBT commentary, ableism etc. It means doing your best to ensure that you don’t over-talk the voices of folk who don’t share your privileges.
(Emphasis mine)
Here’s the paragraph from that instance for you to reread. I see no “gender” in front of “identity”.
Yeah, that’s my reaction. I only posted there previously because I didn’t understand that “Don’t offend people’s identities” meant “We’re all playing make-believe here and you need to play along”; I thought it was about respecting trans and NB folk, who exist here in the real world, unlike fantastic creatures and those who identify themselves as having sex with them.
Hey, as long as you agree with the pronouns and identity that someone tells you they are, that’s what matters. If they don’t jive with you, they’re lying sacks of shit and aren’t to be taken seriously. (/s, but only because I know some people will believe that)
I don’t know a lot about transracial folks and I don’t understand them, so I don’t think I could give you an informed opinion. Would you consider them to be invalid in your eyes? Would it warrant disrespecting someone upon hearing they were transracial?
The individual in question is not simply using ‘drag’ as a cutesy neopronoun replacement for ‘they’ or ‘xe’. They are literally claiming their identity as a dragon who has sex with dragons, as they insist on it.

Alright, let me rephrase - I didn’t realize that “Don’t offend people’s identities” meant “Dragons are real, and they post on this instance”
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Okay. Don’t post there.

What are your opinions on transracial folk?
I don’t know a lot about transracial folks and I don’t understand them, so I don’t think I could give you an informed opinion. Would you consider them to be invalid in your eyes? Would it warrant disrespecting someone upon hearing they were transracial?
EDIT: Do you consider white to be a minority?
I think that dragonfucker isn’t a gender identity, because dragons aren’t real, and fucking is an action, not a gender.
Neopronouns are hard for cis folks.

Glad you’re around to tell me what is and isn’t a valid neopronoun.
EDIT: This was sarcasm. I’m not in unblocking this instance to explain that.
