You'd benefit from doing some research on Isabel Fall.
Normalising the idea that only well behaved trans folk deserve to have their identity respected hurts the trans community far more than the actions of a theoretical troll slipping through the cracks occasionally.
Yep. I'd also ban you for trolling at the same time however, because your actions would make it clear that your goal here is to stir up drama in response to a moderation approach you don't agree with.
That sounds interesting and I want to look into it.
Reading the Wikipedia page I want to ask, what part of it specifically are you referring to?
The story itself, or the authors health in response to the criticism?
I'm referring to a trans person using the attack helicopter slur as an act of empowerment and reclamation, and getting turned on by the community for it.
The point being that she looked like a troll to many people, and was attacked for it, but she was not a troll, and the over the top response did more damage than any troll could have done.
ohh I see. thanks for the explanation!
How I wish there was more of this kind of response and attitude in the world.
How did I protect drag specifically? Drag was banned from several blahaj communities and I was quite explicit in support of community mods right to make that decision.
The protection I did offer is the same protection I offer all our users, which is freedom from deliberate misgendering.
Though I can see why you might take issue with that, given that you just misgendered drag, despite our ongoing conversation.
You removed comments and/or banned people for calling them a troll. Which is exactly what they are.
Look, I’m sure you’re a cool person. You seem like you care about the right things. Outside of this single issue, I’m sure we’d probably get along fine. But I don’t see any understanding coming from this.
I believe you did wrong. And you don’t. And that’ll have to be okay with both of us.
