You could have said exactly that without adding in the transphobic part. How come you left it out just now, but not a month ago? Did you learn what’s acceptable and what’s not acceptable since then?
The recent position of the admins is that you don’t acknowledge dragon rider as a gender? That’s a mighty strange position for an admin to have. It seems more like your personal opinion than Ada’s.
Honestly, at the time, I hadn’t interacted with Drag at all for months, and Drag had been banned from 196 by then anyway, and 196 was the vast majority of my Blahaj activity. For me, it was just that I didn’t feel comfortable staying in an instance that was going to hand out bans and remove comments to ensure the existence of dragons wasn’t questioned. I ‘got’ the underlying logic of it, but didn’t feel comfortable sticking around for an instance that was going to go to bat for someone who literally and verbatim repeated the old conservative “Attack Helicopter” canard.
This thread is the first time I’ve interacted with Drag since, I believe.

That user literally said that you’re only offended by someone making that exact mockery of transgender people because you hate trans people.
Could you imagine someone in blackface saying people calling them out is racist? That you just hate people pretending to be black because you hate black people? It’s infuriating. And getting banned for saying blackface is bad? Even more infuriating.
And this dickhead spread dangerous misinformation about disorders that can literally ruin and end lives. But being against literal mockeries of marginalized groups makes you the problem.
And you shouldn’t have explained why your opinions are against the rules. In doing so, you broke the rules, which you should have known would happen, because you knew your opinions were against the rules.

If anyone needs any more evidence that he’s a troll, they can just look to this conversion. I honestly can’t believe that there remains anyone that still buys his bullshit.
If you go to an online community here and say “Clearly I’m not welcome here, because I refuse to acknowledge black people as equal to whites”, that’s against the rules. Obviously. This is the same situation. What the hell is going on here that perfectly normal people suddenly can’t understand that? Does your ability to understand the concept of rules just… go away, when you agree with the rulebreaker’s views on trans people?
“I acknowledge that the recent position of the admins means I am no longer welcome here, and will thus be leaving. I wish them all the best.”
“How DARE you say that out loud? Removed”

What the fuck do you think “the recent position of the admins” refers to
Keep insisting that transphobia is when someone thinks dragons aren’t real.

The recent position of the admins was that refusing to acknowledge the existence of dragons was no longer welcome on Blahaj.
Serious question. Why not just block the fucker of dragons and move on? That’s what I did months ago and it has not negatively affected me at all.

Drag doesn’t get it.
