  • Famous quote I remember:

    “All clothing is gender neutral if you stop being a little bitch about it”

    I don’t know who said it but I remember the quote well, and it’s true. Ultimately clothing is just cloth, it doesn’t have any intrinsic gender to it. We are the ones who assign gender to clothing, and we can ignore or remove that assignment if we choose.



  • Yeah, normally I’d say it’s a bit extreme but honestly some of the instances basically don’t care or only moderate for PR, and those instances absolutely should be defederated because they will be inevitably problematic for us and our communities.

    Lemmy.world is a great example of this, they allow many transphobic and homophobic users to keep posting there, and if called out give said users a temp ban and remove comments, lots of times they won’t even remove the comments (like one user claiming that LGBTQ books are indecent and should be banned, said comments are still up). They’re basically like the Reddit or Facebook of the Fediverse, anything goes until it hurts PR, they claim all kinds of rules but only enforce those when they get heat.

    sh.itjust.works is another one but supposedly they are trying to be better and they did actually listen to my initial community removal request I sent them instead of reverting it out of pettiness like lemmy.world’s administration did, so in some regards I feel like defederation is too extreme, but in others like with lw not so much.



  • I heard of this case where a person suffered a head injury and was unable to speak English because of it, they were only able to speak a foreign language (I don’t remember what it was specifically). So yeah you can forget it midway through the game, or anywhere else. Nintendo just likes to lock people into choices, I think it might be a Japanese thing (it’s why you can’t aren’t allowed to change your name in any of their games).




  • They’re not trying to say its “turning people trans” they’re saying it’s disrespectful and toxic to try and break other people’s eggs. People need to discover themselves at their own pace, they know who they are best and what they want for themselves. People don’t have the right to try and decide a person’s gender for someone else, that’s wrong.



  • How is this not enough? This is straight from the light novel spinoff about her. She gave herself HRT by sheer force of will, and you still argue that is cis behavior?

    Yes, yes I do. Because when one calls themselves a boy that needs to be respected, because the key part about identities being valid is how people say what they are, not that they “don’t act entirely cis”. Again like I said before head-canon away but don’t force it on others or attack people for following canon, or even god forbid enjoying and identifying with felix as a Femboy.

    Also that idea of people “not acting cis” does indeed violate the Egg prime directive, I sincerely hope you don’t do that with real people because it can end up being very hurtful and disrespectful to them. It’s important to look at other people’s gender as something personal and specific to them, and not something that can be semantically categorized and resolved without taking their feelings and how they identify into consideration.


  • 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.
