your first thing to do was to accuse others of gaslighting, when no one was.

I was gaslit 3 times in that thread alone I linked to right now. And there was a hundred-comment pileup on my instance as well.

So You ignorantly stick your nose in something you half-ass, You call me a harasser even though you see I was responding to something, and then get all huffy when I fire back at you? And I'm the asshole? Get a grip.

Fact is, from my perspective, I was being gaslit. The onus is not on the victim to delve into the personal history and technical knowledge of the other party to ensure they didn't gaslit unintentionally.

Meanwhile in the U.S, america trying to erase trans people like me.

How does China feel about homosexuality again?

but hey, it was “tankies” that were here for me when my mom died. or here for me when I am having trouble with stuff like eating, staying hydrated or dealing with family issues. also like, going to the world at large, those “evil tankie authoritarian countries” are the most progressive places on earth. Like Cuba has the most progressive lgbtq+ rights out there. Meanwhile in the U.S, america trying to erase trans people like me.

I'd love to see you all caring about as much for the trauma of the people you're dunking on before you do it, but I guess flagging dissent as "liberals" or "wreckers" is convenient to dehumanize them so that anything goes from that point.
