Capitalized pronouns are not a gender issue. That's not how pronouns or gender work. Anyone insisting the little people call them Her Majesty deserves to be ignored at best, whether they're trans or cis.

And that's the shallow end of this conversation - I had someone insist on equal respect for emoji as pronouns. Hard no. Fuck off. I don't even respect emoji as text. I don't care how hard anyone feels it; you cannot sexually identify as a pumpkin symbol. That's not what those words mean. Me saying so is fucking obviously not the same kind of disrespect as deadnaming someone, and people trying to equate them are insulting the trans community. Trans women are women. No human being is produce.

Almost wrote "no human being is fucking produce," but I have videos to the contrary.

You won't hear me defending the admin here that's for sure. And I agree with you on everything in your comment here.

It ain't perfect here for a number of reasons but it's a pretty chill place at least in the communities I participate in on this instance. Though I have had some weird to shitty experiences with mods on this instance on more than a few occasions.
