ID: A scene from Legally Blonde of a conversation between Warner and Elle in the corridor at Harvard, in 4 panels:
Warner asks “Are you a man or a woman?”
Elle replies, smiling “I'm a communist”
Warner continues “No, I mean, what's in your pants?”
Elle looks confused “revolution.”
Mental illness doesn't make people nazis, just like mental illness doesn't make people mass shooters, that's simply not how it works.
Key details missed out one big one - were they being kept by the person (illegally, I would assume?), or did they just really fancy their back garden, infest it, and were a complete surprise to the human residents?
Yeah, that person is a transphobe and a sealion, and there is absolutely no point in providing them any leeway or platform to spew their bigotry from.
There are specific biological differences that a mtf woman will have that hormones won’t change.
This is transphobia since it is factually incorrect and stems from wilful ignorance, and I'm shutting it, and your tone policing, down. There, how's that?
Those are not inherently the same,
Yes, they are, like I said, you don't have to mean it to be transphobic for it to be transphobic. People who are ignorant and get called out who don't want to be transphobes will admit ignorance, apologise, and improve their behaviour. Anything else makes a person a transphobe, no matter how uncomfortable that makes you.
I say feed the Wally (username checks out lmao) to the bears.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Unrelated
It actually is very much related, ableism often goes hand in hand with other forms of bigotry (and exists in all spaces in its own right), and we need to stand up to it just as much as the others.
A relevant example is that there is a pretty significant overlap between trans people and autistic people, and so any of us who are both get gaslit and patronised because we couldn't possibly know our gender identity since we're autistic and therefore must be completely lacking in any knowledge or understanding even of ourselves. It's disgusting.
Don't be hard on yourself, we each carry our own baggage and trauma and it can be hard to find confidence and a voice through all that shit. But learning to set boundaries (which is basically what this is) is such a powerful tool for self defence, and a way to try and reduce opportunity to be constantly retraumatised, we could all benefit from doing it more!
Telling transphobes (and other bigots) to fuck off, making it clear to them that they are not welcome, and that their bigotry isn't a legitimate "opinion" they get to express without consequence.
ID: Is this a pigeon meme where the person is tagged "cis society", the butterfly in their hand is tagged "trans people having a backbone about anything at all", and they are asking "is this destroying my free speech?"
Yes, an anonymous internet forum, which is open to and used by the public.
I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make - just let transphobes be? Because fuck that.
I think I remember from the 196 mess that Ada mentioned being able to see reports that haven't been acted on, but I'm not sure about those that were acted on, even if that action is ignoring. Either way, I'm glad there are meta spaces to bring it up either way!

Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn't going to result in any action, so I'm wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?
(if someone needs an image description, please ask)
