Me, still referring to X as twitter: Am I transphobic?

I am.

I always give Swasticar drivers extra space- especially the ones in a Wankepazer.

Isn't a phobia explicitly an IRrational fear/hate? I feel like being afraid of the harmful influence and thus hating Xitter is completely rational.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The medical definition of a phobia, yes.

But transphobes aren’t generally medically phobic of trans people. They’re just assholes.

[–] TaTTe@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'd say they have an irrational hate towards trans people

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

That’s true.

You should refer to it as Shitter. Same thing, different pronunciation.

Deadnaming Twitter is praxis and actively supporting trans people, given its owners hostility towards them

[–] nickiwest@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I'll stop deadnaming Twitter when Musk stops deadnaming his daughter Vivian.

[–] Kalysta@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Nope

It’s twitter until Musk acknowledges his trans daughter’s rights.
