Hey, we can both misrepresent why you're doing this. You're already doing a great job of it.

I feel like I'm in the waning days of whatever freedom allowed me to transition, and that I or people like me will end up as genocide statistics in a ravaged world. It's been hard to get up every day.

Unless you have neopronouns, obviously

"We want to move to .world so we can be bigots"

This is a freshman CS/IT major's attempt at humor. Most of us learn and grow out of it and/or get the memes right, but Elon isn't smart and isn't actually capable of understanding how stupid this looks

Some could afford to leave, but we should encourage people to try and change things where they work. Abandoning or avoiding it isn't the only way. I read your comment to suggest that they shouldn't complain or try to get the policy changed back. It seems you were suggesting they should leave, even if they can't get an equivalent job. Does that sound right?

I named mine Finny (because I'm wildly creative /s). I need to get more filling for him, his current filing kinda flattened out over time.

What a wild take. Up until now there were at least protections present for the platform. And what's your message here? "Stifle your career because Zuck is a bigot"? "Accept less pay or shut up and accept abuse"?

I definitely didn't handle myself well in response to this either, so please give yourself some grace. The amount of cis people who were trying to assert that disrespecting drag's identity was the right thing to do was huge and wildly disappointing. It's hard to call any of them allies. I've been blocking a bunch as well.

My interactions with people complaining about this rule led me to delete my .world account and dust this one off from way back when I first joined Lemmy and was trying to figure things out. Regardless of the behavior of a person, I staunchly will never purposefully misgender them/use the wrong pronouns. If I do it to someone else, then I'm telling the world that it's okay to dismiss anyone's identity given the right justification. And that's patently wrong and shitty.

I'd rather be part of an instance that protects identity, that is made for minorities and those who are often abused by the heteronormative world. Thank you for enforcing this and making a space where I can feel safe as a trans woman.
