FFS of course Perez (my local rep) is in that list

I swear she’s going to flip parties soon and it won’t surprise me

Time to reach out yet again

Not to mention a van has the benefit of keeping the load dry

Which depending on what you do and where can be very important

It’s such a stupid take on his part

It’d be like a studio needing to fill a role for a black character with a black actor, putting out a casting call for black actors, then a famous black actor coming out against it.

It’s stupid and only harms those that he’s trying to help.

It’s not like the studio was just going to hire the first 7 little people to show up, they were still gonna have to try to get the role.

Couldn’t have said it better myself.

Growing up in a deep red area I could talk at length about the discrimination (transphobia, homophobia, racism, etc) I’ve seen first hand and the scars (both physical and emotional) that myself and people I know have from that experience.

I won’t here because ain’t nobody want to hear that shit.

OP really needs to step away from social media for awhile and cool off. Social media isn’t what your life should orbit around, at most it should be a little seasoning on the banquet that is life.

Kinda funny is going back and rereading my comment here I noticed I missed quite a few and even OP didn’t catch them. I mention this because OP called out one of my comments where I was saying that they “need to touch grass” by simply correcting a single bungled pronoun.‡

That really highlights how easy it is to miss and how much OP is way overreacting here.

‡ Most my comments are fired off during down time at work so proof reading is sometimes not a luxury I can afford.

I wouldn’t call it a bizarre coincidence at all. Typos happen literally all the time to everyone.

A single error doesn’t make a trend, a pattern of errors does.

And again that mod shoots from the hip on bans. I’d say seize the opportunity to take some time off and cool off.

Getting banned from a community can really make someone salty at the moment it happens and taking the opportunity to chill is the best course of action for one’s mental health.

I gotcha Fam for those embedded pics

In order:

I’d assume that the mod in question (being a mod) sees a ton of posts and comments from a ton of users and simply didn’t check Your profile before making the comment there.

Or hell it could have been their autocorrect dropping the capital (which mine does pretty often)

But from what I can see it’s also a single comment. Don’t assume malice when ignorance can easily explain it.

And that mod is really quick to ban people, hell they banned me last week less than a minute after I made a comment on one of their posts simply for saying that dems and the GQP weren’t the same (their post was implying that they were the same). The reason they banned me was for being a “liberal”.

Personally I’d recommend a solution to help weed out transphobia vs ignorance: put Your‡ pronouns at the end of your username so that it’s easy for people to know and talk to you how you’d like. This is fairly easy to do on Lemmy as flairs at the end of usernames don’t really exist around these parts.

‡ I literally had to go back and manually change this to a capital Y after my autocorrect changed it.

Edit: Missed some caps.

Thank you and I’m happy to hear it

I’ve got a slight suggested edit

Basically the first item to get banned adding Hexbear to the list with Lemmygrad

I’ve been seeing a huge influx of tankie takes from hexbear accounts all over (and here) since they federated
