People. We, the French, pulled a left-wing coalition out of our asses in less than a week and managed to "win" an election. You have months. Hope is permitted.

"I'm in this picture and I hate it" moment

Well, this is some terminally online bullshit if I've ever seen some.

Listen. I understand that we all want to be inclusive and I completely support this. I use this instance for a reason. But at some point, we have to draw some sort of line in the sand in cases like this. If you look at OP's history, you'll see that this is not a moderation problem, this is an attention seeker problem.

I've said it before in a comment that the moderation removed two days ago. Actually, it was removed for misgendering OP, I believe (didn't capitalize the pronouns), BY THE PERSON OP IS CALLING OUT HERE, too! So accusations of transphobia against that person are ridiculous, but anyway, I'm going to repeat it here: This isn't the first time I see this user post something, and I can't help but notice a pattern of aggressively dictating the way people should act. Not only this, but OP's already tried to pull something similar on Beehaw.

This has been on my mind ever since I first read the initial post a while back and I'm finally going to spill it. OPis literally the only person I've ever seen use "capitalized pronouns". And I mean, on it's own, that's not a problem. Lots of people have their own special pronouns, whatever. No, what I question here, is the motive. Because here is the thing: OP identifies as a god. This isn't coming from me, this is quoting from Grail's Medium profile. "Nonbinary Goddess" and there isn't even more details in this post. And I mean, yeah, that carries a ton of baggage, no wonder people had a problem with these pronouns.

Can we stop pretending that people are being transphobic because they question the fact that someone is self-identifying as a god, please? Let's all be honest with ourselves here: Being inclusive is not the same as enabling entitlement. And making accusations of transphobia for something like this is quite frankly disgusting.

Some of you need to log off, because transphobia is real thing. You can't just throw around this term like that. A few days ago, I was at a memorial surrounded by fellow trans people, grieving actual victims of transphobia, people who died for simply being who they are. Some of us are dying, some of us are being kicked off from their family, some of are being actually discriminated against, some of us are being harassed. This is what transphobia looks it. I'm sorry for being dramatic here, but come on!

If it can be explained by: "I'm was more focused on making my point and forgot to capitalize the pronouns", then I'm sorry, I refuse to call that "transphobia".

Hey, failing at being a human being while trying to highlight where the bicycle starts and end on the picture is my job! You won't take that away from me, you fucking robot!

Until they start pulling their weight? What? I think this reveals a lot about the way you think. Being queer is not a social club. It isn't a giant apartment in which we're all living in and therefore, if someone doesn't do the fucking chores, they need to be kicked out. No.

It's not a either stay and fight or leave situation. We are born in a society that happens to be queerphobic as queer people. There is fighting it, but there is no escaping it. And not everyone wants to fight. I don't blame them. Because they already have to deal with the fact that they are queer in a queerphobic society, which is already a fight by itself.

Thank fuck I'm not American. Now, if you'd excuse me, I must get ready for the potential imminent arrival of fascism in about 2 days in my country (France). Can't wait to see the US fall as well! Wow! What a wonderful fucking world awaits us, huh? 💀

They always do this. Every fucking time they want to make policies about us, they contact transphobic activists instead of actual experts on the question. What fucking expertise does she have?! And even more, haven't you done enough against trans people already? Like, you need to justify doing more against them, seriously?

The internet has often talked about how some of the states in the US are run by people who are absolutely deranged about trans people, but the UK is just something else.

"Pride month? Oh no! How can I make this about me?"

We love our FtM kings!

Just read the whole thing. It's dead serious.

Gotta love American politics.

So, what's your choice? Centers right? Or far right? You can only pick one.
