That is a simplified way of putting it (It's actually more complex and nuanced) but yes, that is the gist of it.

PANEL 2: two other players.
PLAYER 2: Can you just come out already? We're supportive.
PLAYER 3: Waiting for you to transition is taking forever.

Seriously this isn't how people who are supportive behave, when and also whether or not someone chooses to transition is up to them and should not be coerced by others. Also like, the whole point of DnD and TTRPGs as a whole is to be someone you aren't, making characters which are like you is called meta-roleplaying or metagaming and, at least in my opinion it diminishes the experience of the game. Playing characters that are wildly different than you is kind of the point.

OP you didn't do anything wrong, this is a critique of the characters in the comic, not you.

No you don't have to, there's nothing wrong with the post, I just want to make sure people understand that fact that people can want to be trans or want to be NB. There are a lot of gatekeeping people hiding in the shadows unfortunately who argue that wanting to identify a particular way is somehow appropriation.

I think this post is actually very good since it highlights why their reasoning is problematic and gatekeeping.

There was huge controversy where these policies led to sub mods protecting minor attracted persons who came in to disrupt their spaces

Ah yes, continuing the lie that blahaj.zone at somehow supports or encourages pedophilia.

*I'm trans btw

This doesn't preclude a person from being transphobic, and it certainly doesn't justify the lying and fabrication and accusations towards blahaj.zone admins of harboring pedophiles, because they chose to stand up against misgendering and ban people who misgender others or spew apologia.

She did this to me too because I was questioning their motives for moving and avoiding lemmy.blahaj.zone "censorship", though she only did a temp ban. I guess I got lucky, but good to know that the others there are more level headed. So I would definitely say this seems like power-tripping, PTB? That's how you say it right (I'm new to this community).

I love them, they are so cute. I hope the other the people liked OOP's outfit even though it was a mistake that they posted there.

There's nothing wrong with wearing feminine clothes for Halloween, or even just for the hell of it. Clothes are cloth and anyone can wear them, I'll never understand people who are so funny about some people wearing certain clothes or try to restrict others from wearing them for no good reason.
Just let people wear fem clothes if they want to.

One time a truscum told me "I can't me Transphobic, I'm trans, you're stupid" she was incorrect, and she was one of the biggest transphobes I ever met (she insulted many trans women claiming they "sound like men" and that they "weren't even trying" what an absolute asshole she was SMH.

Me too, both because I'm AroAce and because I look very child-like for my age (okay that's an understatement, people ask me where my parents are when I go to the store) I don't think I need to elaborate why someone finding that attractive is at the very least a little bit disturbing.

Just so you guys know that's 113 pounds (51.23 kg) of mercury, he's not just a weakling, that is very heavy even for stronger people.

One thing I get a lot as an Isogender is people who are confused about what it means or who think it's just trans. I'm going to break down what it means, why we are not trans, or cis for that matter, while also addressing some of the arguments brought up about us (these are arguments I and others have recieved on this).


What does it mean to be Isogender?

Isogender is a gender modality which falls outside of the cis and trans umbrellas, it exists as its own thing. Simply put Isogender is neither cis nor trans. You might be wondering how does that work exactly if cis=AGAB and trans≠AGAB? Well it's slightly different for different people but one explanation I've heard is that AGAB is Irrelevant to people who identify as Isogender.

Personally the way that cis and trans are worded or described these days isn't great in my opinion as it seems to try and remove other options outside of the two. It enforces a binary, under those strict definitions one can either be Cis or Trans with no clear path In-between or neither.


"Isogender is 'technically' trans then because it isn't cis, you're just choosing not to Identify as trans"

Nope it isn't, it is neither cis nor trans, the reason is that we identify as neither. It's based on the idea that the way we identify is valid and determines who we are. Arguing technicality when it comes to a person's identity is very invalidating, as if to say they are wrong about how they identify without directly saying they're wrong.


"Isogender doesn't exist, you're in denial about being trans bc Internalized Transphobia"

Umm... No. If it didn't exist it wouldn't have been coined and it wouldn't have multiple Wiki pages about it. People are free to identify how they feel is comfortable, an trying to argue that their identity or reasons for not identifying as trans aren't valid and that they have transphobia isn't respecting their identity, it's attempting to change their mind by telling them that it is bad or wrong to not identify as trans, or to not feel comfortable identifying as trans.


"It's important to identify as trans even if you are Non-Binary to show that transgender is more than transsexual"

Yeah... No, it's important to identify the way that feels comfortable and correct for you. Gender identities are for the person identifying, not anyone else. You should not, nor should you be expected to identify a particular way for someone else. If it feels right to identify as trans then you can, if it doesn't than you don't have to, that's like the whole point of Isogender and other gender modalities, having options outside of the dichotomy.


"Anyone without Gender Dysphoria is just Cis and wants attention"

Transmedicalism will not be tolerated here under Rule 3 and Rule 4, there is no debate here, transmedicalism is a very hostile and harmful form of gatekeeping. People's identities are Valid and should be respected, transmedicalism fights against that, so it should be treated as the form of Bigotry that it is.


Conclusion

While this may not have covered all basis I did get to touch on what Isogender is, as well as some of the misconceptions and also some of the extremely harmful arguments related to it, and hopefully addressed them so we will not see them posted here out of Ignorance.

I will leave this post up in case people would like to add anything else, or engage in constructive criticism but if there is any significant hostility or attacks the comments may be locked.

[IMAGE DESCRIPTION] drowning kid + skeleton Meme

In the top panel a mother and her kids are together in a swimming pool. The mother with text "egg_irl" is holding up her daughter with the text "transfems" over her. Meanwhile her son is drowning while she doesn't notice him with the text "transmascs" over him.

In the bottom Panel a skeleton is chained to a chair at the bottom of the ocean with the text "NonBinary/Genderqueer", "Genderfluid", and "Agender" over it. Each label is colored in the colors of their own Flags respectively.

[END OF IMAGE DESCRIPTION]

context: Back on the original egg_irl subreddit it was common for there to be a disproportionate amount of transfem memes versus the others and a lot of them forgot to flair as [CW: Assumes Viewer is Transfem] when needed and also a few were a bit targeting towards transmascs and masculine enbies i.e.

spoiler"get rid of your toxic, masculine mannerisms"
or
spoiler"transmascs have cute feminine faces"
. Some people even started saying Egg_irl is specifically a women's space and not a trans space in general.
