Drag doesn’t like !dragons@pawb.social because drag was banned from it for using drag/dragself pronouns. And drag never even posted there! It was for using the pronouns on a different community! Then the mod used an alt account to harass himself and blame it on drag, to make an excuse for the ban. He’s been caught harassing himself with alts lots of times since then, whenever he gets into an argument with someone who doesn’t like him

Good news for you: embros don’t produce gametes at all. Everyone is now legally agender. You can refuse to issue female licences too.

No, embryos don’t produce eggs.

Big Gender Binary is suppressing the narrative so that people don’t realise they used to be agender.

Actually, he’s the first agender president. Embryos don’t produce any gametes at conception. The idea that embryos are all female is a myth spread by people who don’t believe in nonbinary sex.

Embryos can’t produce gametes. Everyone is agender now.

Drag got banned from the other one for advocating violence against Nazis, but this one has cool mods that actually respect the community’s opinions. And this is a Nazi punching kind of community

Drag has been talking to politicians in drag’s country about granting refugee visas to Americans. Drag doesn’t know if that will help you, but drag hopes it will. You asked not to be given hope, though.

If you’re gonna be dead soon anyway, go down fighting. Buy a gun before your meds run out, and learn how to use it.

You said you didn’t want hopeful messaging, so here’s what you can actually do. You can get revenge.

Drag apologises for not NSFWing it. Drag forgot that feature even existed. Drag knows now, so it won’t happen again.

Don’t worry, drag has a plan.

Documenting transphobia is the first step in showing it to the people who can do something about it. Drag hopes that drag can make .world a safer place by getting this information in front of the right people. Posting it here allowed the members of this wonderful community to affirm that none of us consider this guy’s views on trans people acceptable, which increases the legitimacy of the argument. We’re all helping to stop transphobia.

Holy shit.

Sorry for stressing you out. Drag didn’t mean to imply you were a bad example of that. Drag was pretty triggered after the initial “get help” comment. That one wasn’t helpful to anyone, while drag thinks there’s a good chance your comment will be seen by someone who does need to see it. Drag chose to respond to that initial comment broadly and refuse to acknowledge the implied specificity, but drag supposes most people don’t take words literally enough to see what drag was doing. All they could see was the subtext that drag was choosing to ignore.

Feels nice to be told you feel the same way about people in online spaces perceiving your pain. It’s awful. Call someone a troll, and you can pretend their every gasp and sob is manipulation. You don’t have to care about the consequences of your actions. Causing pain is good. Fuck that thinking. It’s one of the reasons why drag doesn’t really believe in trolls. Drag’s seen the belief in trolls turn people into monsters. Drag will leave drag’s empathy on, even if it gets drag hurt, because hurting an innocent person is worse.

Exactly! Trans rights are human rights! An attack on any of our expressions is an attack on all of our liberties.

This is what drag thinks. The transphobic people complaining about drag’s gender are the ones making the space unsafe for other trans people. Drag is just existing and they could easily choose peace. They decide to make trans people afraid to exist, and they’d be doing it with some other “weird” person if it wasn’t drag. Thank you. Drag didn’t mean to imply you’re trans if you aren’t, drag thinks this pattern applies to any minority identity.

Drag keeps coming back to this comment. You were surprised drag could stay calm in the face of all that hate. Thank you. Drag feels seen. It was so hard and drag tried so much.

The admins of lemmy.world and the mods of the community where it happened are qualified to help. All they have to do is press a button and the harassment goes away. And that’s exactly what they’re expected to do.

Drag has a frustration, even here in this community, with how problems get medicalised. A person is misgendered and harassed, and everyone says “get help”, and they clearly mean “see a doctor”, as if doctors are the only kind of help that exists. Everyone wants to talk about therapy and counselling.

It’s… gross. If someone is attacked, the problem isn’t their reaction. Being a victim of online violence isn’t a disease. It doesn’t mean something is wrong with the victim. The problem is with the one doing the harassing. But all anyone can talk about is what the victim should do. Not what the attacker should do. That’s not right.

Drag told drag’s friends about this thread and they didn’t like it any more than drag did.

Recommending medical help is good and does have its place. But drag hates when it’s used as a thought-terminating cliche. “We told the hurt person to go see a doctor. Welp, that’s everything that can be done. This conversation is over now. The therapist will magic away all the pain and we can ignore it now.”
