I don't know man, honestly, just pay attention. Especially articles about trans women in sports - that's a lightning rod topic for the transphobes.
What are you trying to accomplish here? Don't actually answer that because I don't care.This is exhausting. Being questioned and disbelieved about what I have seen as a trans person is not surprising but it's exhausting and it's frustrating to see your dumb ass comments about stop being so negative and making assumptions. That shit is so infuriating and absolutely patronizing to tell a member of a marginalized community, or anyone at all really.
Fuck you.
I am not debating you, I am telling you about my experience. You disbelieving me and giving me the third degree about this is a you problem.
Attack the ideas, not the user my dude.
Fuck off, dude.
Spicy, dude.
What personal attacks do I make here? None? Am I just addressing the bullshit that has been directly commentated at me? I am? Great let's move on.
No, you are directly attacking that user because it seems that you are getting frustrated and angry.
What did your brain get scrambled because I said a swear word? There are no direct attacks. Fuck off.
Just like that isn’t one towards me?
Literally yes. "Fuck off" is not a personal attack lmao. But please, again, fuck off.
What about implying my brain is scrambled because I was pointing out how your responses seem to an outside perspective.
That's not a personal attack because I don't know anything about you to personally attack, it's a response to your braindead comment.
I’m going to stop interacting with you now but you should take some time to reflect on how you treat others online.
Yay!!
Like - I'm genuinely sorry if that's your exprience. I really am. And I'm not trying to question your experiences.
However: would you please adjust your fucking tone? It was an innocent question. I didn't have the same experiences and was trying to get some info which communities house the people you're talking about. I'm mostly on anarchist and linux communities which are usually quite welcoming to any lgbtq issues.
Also, as I'm assuming you didn't notice: that was my first comment in this thread.
Oh yeah you're right I didn't notice you were a different person. Anyway, I'm not really sympathetic to tone-policing.
The expectation to not tell someone just asking a simple question to fuck of is not what I would call "tone-policing". But there I go, expecting people on the internet not to be fucking rude. Silly me, I guess.
It actually, literally is. It's not a dinner party it's a comment section. If I have to tolerate people telling me I am imagining transphobia, they can tolerate being disrespected.
I didn't, tho
Yes, it wasn't directed at you but the person I thought I was talking to. Don't take everything as a personal attack, it clearly wasn't directed at you as you already figured out.
