Ok, that's good, I thought you were one of those resolution snobs complaining that my screen isn't one of those fancy 4K laptop screens, but I guess in this case it was just an honest misunderstanding.
So you're saying that the mod has the right to deny actual trans women's experiences because he disagrees with them and twists the Egg prime directive to suit his narrative? Makes sense that you wouldn't understand the situation since you're just a cis person after all.
I used to do it too to roleplay, and for some people it means nothing, but if you're doing it all the time or regularly, it's more likely that might be a sign...
I did it all the time, I even drew pictures of myself as a girl, all the signs were there.
If you're wrong about someone and they turn out to be a femboy, no harm no foul, if you are right about a trans woman being in denial and you don't help her, it's life or death. I'd day it's worth the awkwardness and few hurt feelings along the way, it's LIFE OR DEATH!
That mod said on more than one occasion that he was a femboy and he's used he/him pronouns to describe himself. I'm not misgendering him just because he chooses to sometimes call himself Agender but almost never really refers to himself that way. If he actually is I'm really confused since most Agender people aren't also femboys.
When people haven't lived the experience they won't have accurate knowledge on the subject of the trans experience, and shouldn't be telling other people whether signs are valid of being trans or not. Signs are valid and can identify someone being trans before they identify it themselves.
Cassie seems to support the idea that many trans people need help, that they are terrible at listening to their inner voice. She even craved it herself. I don't think this helps that mod's cause, if anything it just shows how bad what he's doing is.
That mod is denying the validity of signs off being transgender, and saying they aren't signs. In a community dedicated to breaking out of denial and recognizing that one is trans. I have been invalidated a lot and I've been in fierce denial, people shouldn't have to live through that, they should be helped out.
I also don't think the mod was trying to silence me specifically but any criticism of his words. Maybe he didn't want to call negative attention to himself and get removed as a mod for permanently banning a trans woman from a trans community, he still banned be though, and he locked the post so people can't criticize him for saying those awful invalidating things.
Wait how small do you think the screenshot I took is, are you looking at the thumbnail as the full size? If you are then it makes sense for you to complain about my screen size but this screen is about 1080p (maybe not exactly) and the screenshot is only slightly cropped to remove excess junk from it like my window borders and the extra modlog entries, so if people complain about that I have the right to be at least a little bit snarky.
I'm sorry I don't have a nicer laptop with a higher res screen so I can take bigger screenshots. Maybe I should dip into my savings and buy one instead of saving up to get bottom surgery. It's no one else's problem that I have a penis after all.
That was sarcasm, I'm not doing that at all, get used to low-res screenshots because I'm not buying a better laptop unless this one dies or I have a vagina (probably won't for a while afterwards bc I'll be in debt).
You are right, this discussion is going in circles, most people here don't see or understand why this is wrong and it's likely blahaj.zone doesn't either. Otherwise they wouldn't have allowed him to become a mod now would they?
Even if you aren’t intending judgement with it, ‘normal’ carries a judging connotation, or at minimum the connotation that there is something wrong with them that needs to be fixed.
I'm sorry if it came across that way, I don't think people who do it need to be fixed, just helped to discover their true selves so they can be happy.
Telling them that the way their abnormality needs to be fixed is through transitioning rather than conforming to their ASAB is still imposing more gender stereotypes, even if it’s done with good intentions.
How? It's literally encouraging them to transition away from their AGAB, it's literally breaking gender stereotypes by virtue of presenting differently than society expects them to, since they are presenting and identifying as a gender different than what they were assigned at birth. Being trans breaks gender stereotypes.
If someone is given free access to information about trans people and transitioning, can talk to trans people either in person or online to ask questions, etc, and they’ve decided they aren’t trans, then that’s just something you have to respect. Self determination is more important than making sure nobody can hurt themselves by making decisions they might regret.
Trans regret is one of the lowest regrets that there is out there, almost no one does and most if not all detransitioners do so because bigoted fucks made or coerced them to do it. Trans regret is practically non-existent in the real world without external influence.
