likely in response to my comments on the beehaw post, which i linked to (hopefully im doing this right?). apparently, calling people you dont know for the first time "they/them" before being told their pronouns is "misgendering". absurd. this kind of attitude threatens the larger LGBTQ community and is partially why cishets hate us after we won so much progress back in the 00s and 10s.
im a queer person. im neurodivergent. this shit is so goddamn fucking annoying, especially as an older queer who got physically assaulted on a near daily basis for being queer in the 90s. the kids today get their panties in a twist over being supposedly "misgendered" by someone calling them gender neutral pronouns before being corrected. narcissistic victimhood bullshit.
anyways, now banned from one of my favorite instances. meanwhile in the US theyre planning on hunting us. but yeah, lets ban fellow queers over their view that people who get mad about being "misgendered" when they arent (cis people are also referred to as "they/them" before further context in a conversation with a stranger) are just attention seeking brats that threaten the larger movement. its so obvious to me that the brats who find reason to be offended over innocent pronoun use never faced real adversity, like getting repeatedly physically beaten.
edit - the best part of all of this is i faced no moderation from beehaw and all of my comments are +1 or higher. power tripping oversensitive neurodivergent hating bastard of a mod over at blahaj IMO.
edit 2 - did this wrong. heres a link to the post i think got me banned from blahaj and a screenshot about it https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/37659465
Edit 3 - apparently I did nothing wrong until I made my thoughts known about how the pronoun police fucked over the larger LGBTQ community as our rights are backsliding in America. Yall are gonna whine about being misgendered to the concentration camp guards at the rate we’re going. God forbid I be angry that while queers were busy fighting over pronouns our adversaries stuffed the courts, stuffed the school boards, couped the government, and are installing a fascist dictatorship. When I say that these fucking toddlers are going to learn what real oppression tastes like, that’s what I mean. It’s not that I want us to be hurt or oppressed (as the dog piling idiots have interpreted), it’s that the younger generation is weak as hell and lost the fucking plot in the fight for our rights. I grew up getting beaten in the streets for being queer only for these kids to claim their pronouns not being mind-read is oppression!
That was always the goal, the pronoun police have undermined the fight for years now. Being offended over every little fucking thing gains one absolutely zero respect.
please have some introspection: you're being offended over some internet argument and complaining about a whole community. is your respect conditional on never wronging you?
It’s been a decade plus of pronoun policing and whining over insignificant shit, time to grow the fuck up as the concentration camps are being built.
But this is the modern culture of victim hood.
People think they gain social status by being offended and will make shit up to be offended over.
We got a commenter going around crying racism over sheepooh meme because it is "racist" even after being explained the context. The person. Just kept going on and on lol
I swear it’s intentional. Post 2008 there was a global movement against capital that was gaining serious steam in response to the financial crisis…
And then what happened? Suddenly identity politics was all the rage.
Capital wants us fighting over petty identity based disagreements so we don’t organize against them.
As for the queer community specifically, note that the only ones pissy about pronouns are the ones who grew up when society was accepting. They didn’t have to fight the way my generation and prior had to. They’re clueless and weak.
