make sure you ask your trans/non binary friends what they do and don’t like to be called 😊 it can mean a lot, if your unaware

    Damn right, those woke liberal mods should let people be loud and proud about not respecting trans people who don’t wanna be called dude! Amen brother!

        It actually kinda is when you’re doing so in direct response to a transfem person not wanting to be called dude tho

          There’s a difference between “I treat dude as a gender neutral term” and “I will not be respecting your direct request” though.

          One is an opinion, the other is a statement of intent. You can both treat dude as a gender neutral term in your daily life, and respect someone’s wish to not be referred to as dude. They are not mutually exclusive.

                Oh I saw those comments. There were a lot of blatantly transphobic assholes with no consideration for the feelings of people who might be hurt by it. Their “opinions” were shit and transphobic and needed to be removed because that’s what you do with blatantly hateful shit on the internet. You sound like a privileged asshole wanting that shit to stay so you can see and “clown” on it rather than removing it so trans people don’t have to see that bile splattered across their favorite trans friendly shitposting community. The comments here sure as fuck made my day worse, and I’m glad the mods got to them rather than let us own them with facts and logic in the marketplace of ideas or whatever the fuck you’re talking about

                I make a thread about moderators removing any comment that disagrees and none of the comments below dunking on them. I come back 18 hours later and guess what happened.

                I used to like this community.
