ML Troll assumes my gender and misgenders me

Funny considering they use Rule 1 (no bigotry) as an excuse to ban people and silence dissenting opinions, yet won't follow it themselves.

I am Nonbinary for those who don't know. Yes it isn't obvious but it is generally bad practice to assume someone's gender.

I've gotten flak for saying "look man" once. Getting bent out of shape over misgendering in these kind of contexts is silly. I don't think he means anything by his use of "boy", other then being rude but it has nothing to do with your gender. I also used to get misgendered in real life and it never felt like something I should get mad about when it's a simple accident.

Obviously, this doesn't apply to what the trans and nonbinary community have to deal with, where they are purposefully and maliciously misgendered. I just don't think that is what's happening here.

no.

thank you for cissplaining how misgendering is supposed to work according to you

Did you assume he's a cis person or do you have a basis for it?

referring to trans people as they (an outer group) and the general cis audacity the comment exudes. even if they're trans, they should stop acting like an insufferable cis

That's so genderist of you.

didn't know JK Rowling is on Lemmy now

Given a choice between Rowling and you gaggle of fragile, dogmatic mediocrities. I'll take Rowling.

there you go, let it all out Buddy

don't forget to use a slur too before rage quitting, that will surely show them!

It's a rank cliche of course but pad it to novel length and maybe you'll sell a few copies in the young-adult market.

Oh man that's just scratching the surface, .ml's BrainInABox will go way off the handle, flinging all sorts of pejoratives like "shitlibs" or literally calling people scum. What do the admins/mods do? Give a 24 hour timeout from the specific comm, maybe, and for repeated offenses they might get a 1 day site ban and kindly asked to take a walk LMFAO

Say tankie though and you get 14 or 30 day comm bans right off the bat. But theres def no bias I'm sure on .ml /s

Don’t you understand, the word “tankie” is the biggest form of bigotry there is. (/s)

mfs in this thread arguing misgendering doesn't matter while assuming everyone on the internet is a man

🎶gotta love the patriarchal hegemony🎶

He misgendered you on the internet? Set that man on fire

Is this what Alex Jones was talking about when he said they were making the frogs gay?
