Egg Prime Directive, you NEVER try to crack someone else's egg. It is imperative to respect people's gender identities always, that means listening to them, even if they don't conform to traditional gender norms. If a person is taking HRT to look fem but says they're male, then they're male, it's valid. No one has the right to argue that he's semantically a trans woman, because gender identity is ultimately based on how one identifies, not ones actions, choices, or desires.

This post is extremely disrespectful to transmascs and gender nonconforming individuals, and just in general gives really awful vibes.

First of all this assumes that a person must be transfem or a woman to want, have, or work to get these things. This is not correct. A person may desire any of these things while identifying as female, male, or even Get this, NonBinary, yeah wild isn't it. That's because presentation and gender identity are separate things altogether.

Which is also the reason why this phrase

-ability to wear adorable clothes

Is flat out wrong, because gender and presentation are not the same. In addition this take is extremely harmful and reinforces gender stereotypes. I know people are starting to think that's not a real thing and that only terfs say that, but reinforcing gender stereotypes is a real thing and it's really disrespectful both to trans and GNC people.

-ditch your angry, masculine mannerisms

This is both hurtful to transmasc people and is just in general extremely misandristic. You should be ashamed of yourself, this hating men thing is grossly reminiscent of TERF rhetoric.

-decimate your fapping addiction

Ignoring the fact that this assumes the viewer even has one in the first place (which many won't) this isn't even really true, because estrogen affects different people's sex drive differently, some may lose that urge, but for others it may be just as strong, some might be even stronger. I have no personal experience (and I don't plan on it) this is mostly gathered from things I've read online and the experiences my trans friends have shared with me, so take that how you will.

-improved mental state

This really depends, is E what this person wants? If so then yes it certainly would, but if they don't it would probably cause the opposite effect. It can lead to an improvement, but only if the person wants it and the affects that come with it, but if they don't want it, then it's not going to be a good experience for them.

Not talking back or being snarky but if you feel that way you might seriously want to look into Lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works, they have very bad track records of letting transphobes and bigots run wild, Lemmy.world is the worst, many of the people they've banned for bigotry have been unbanned or were only given temporary bans to begin with, often times they won't even action users who are engaging in transphobia, even if reported. It's really not great.

I used to believe Beehaw was a bit overly strict but honestly I can see they blocked these instances for good reason, especially Lemmy.world.

Yeah I agree, this definately does seem like a knee jerk reaction which ultimately does more harm than good.

I feel like the way they included stop portions on the masculine side they should've also included a stop portion on the feminine side because femboys are valid too, and aren't just "trans girls in-denial" like is often said about us.

Okay that's fine then, you can just buy a block of cheese and grate it yourself. There are these things called cheese gradters which exist for that very purpose.

You can even, get this, use them to slice the cheese thinly using the slicing part of them.

I know wild right.

Terms of service were meant to be broken, they are a once-sided agreement that the other party never needs to uphold, there are no consequences for them if they don't. So I say the moment they try to screw you over give them a good punch in the face, there are some nasty ways to do that to online entities, some illegal, others just petty, some in grey areas (in real free countries none of them are illegal, because corporations aren't protected in places like that).

I knew a hardcore Maga conservative once, this is very accurate to how they behaved, they really hate everyone, they just pretend to care about certain people so they can put down others.

I think we should still consider defederating them, in case they change their mind later and decide to come back and harass us (they've been known to engage in this sort of behavior). Honestly I just heard about this before I came on but I have heard drama from Hexbear in the past and in all honesty even if they do defederate I'm all for mutual defederation.

One of them made a post on Egg_irl with Astolfo which seems to be almost saying that they think Femboys and GNC are just trans girls in denial. Really didn't sit well with me since I know that that kind of think is very hurtful to Femboys and has been very hurtful to me as well as an Agender.

I used to think they weren't that bad, that they just had some bad users coming there but I just checked back and yeah, they've really gone to shit. Definitely de-federate them, their admin either isn't available to do what he needs to do or doesn't care, we need to protect our communities and our people from the assholes on there.

There are no words to describe what a shitty person this is. I bet he's also a scab in the current Reddit protests trying to kiss up to spez for some crappy Reddit merch.
