Unironically, enforce mandatory pronoun tags on Reddit then immediately give any cishet he/him a 3 day time out (was going to add on a bit going “the second he does X” but ngl, I think just a blanket temporary suspension approach would work way better until we figure this whole he/him thing out)
Why, though? Isn’t that discriminatory?
It was just a dumb joke, not something meant to be serious.
Take it like “kill all men” statements, when people say that they’re not suggesting a serious and coherent plan for the mass genocide of half the human population, they’re just venting frustration about men being dicks to them in their personal life
Some on both sides of that coin take it very seriously. Some think, “Yeah, all cishet men are shit!” And the others, who have seen that type of shit in person are like “Yo, wtf.”
Maybe I’m just a stick in the mud, but “jokes” like that are as funny as those who spout nazi bullshit or “kill trannys” or racist bullshit as “jokes” to me.
imo there’s a big difference between someone venting about a desire for racial supremacy over people they see as genetic inferiors born to serve them with an overblown provocative statement, and people venting about being frustrated with men being misogynistic creeps to them with an overblown provocative statement.
Especially since my original post wasn’t even saying “kill all men”, I just used it as an example, like, I don’t think that all cis men are bad, there are plenty of great ones, but I’ve had enough older cis men tell me how “incredibly r*peable” I look in DMs or send me unsolicited dick pics and stuff, and like had another one being a creep at me earlier today, that I was feeling more frustrated with them earlier. So forgive me for inserting some of my frustration into a comment barely anyone will see under some random meme.
Look, I wasn’t trying to be inflammatory or anything, just giving you my perspective on things.
Making a blanket statement against any group of individuals is bigotry. I’m sorry you have had bad experiences with some people, and I’m sure some racism can be stemmed from bad personal experiences as well.
I, too, have been told I am abusing my kids by the mere act of coming out as trans. I’ve been told to kill myself. I reported those messages on my profile to steam, and their accounts are still active.
I’ve been called a liar for telling my story, telling only the truth, because trans people are terrible, manipulative rapists in their eyes.
So, yes, I feel your pain. But don’t perpetuate the stereotypes about anyone, please.
Maybe he’s just joking?
Pretty weird joke.
Sorry but the upvotes determine the truth here.
The updoots tell a harrowing tale.
Two alt accounts
Right, two alt accounts for the benefit of the (check notes) 2 upvotes the one account receives?
Some people are so desperate for affirmation that this is entirely feasible.
I mean, the irony is that there are even less women on lemmy than on reddit so like…

Nah. Lots of trans women and we care about their mental health. Just cope.
Why don’t you just say there are lots of women? Your comment is both transphobic and anti-feminist
Nah. Ignoring blahaj won’t help. Soz, bitch.
cis women aren’t as hurt by misgendering. not transphobic, just aware. not anti-feminist, they’re advocating for gender neutral language.
holster your shit lol
That’s implying trans women are less stable and easier to hurt because they are trans. That’s transphobic. Assuming cis women don’t get hurt by misgendering is sexist at best.
Let me help.
Trans women are (on average) less stable and easier to hurt.
We done here?
Homie I work in mental health and recognizing a trigger is not a force of systemic oppression, it’s a courtesy. Pretending everything is hunky dory and no one has differing needs or experiences is the “i dont see color” equivalent of gender.
cis women aren’t as hurt by misgendering
Nice generalization.
part-time woman here
more femboys, at least percentually, though worth it

This goes to show how rare a women is on there ;)
I’ve noted that for some reason society in general seems clueless that women actually exist
Oh yea, in like the 15 years online when people assume I’m a guy I don’t bother to correct anyone anymore. The default assumption is that everyone is a dude, no matter how pink your profile pic is.
The only exception is voice chat for obvious reasons but if you play online games with voice chat you only make the mistake of speaking a few times until you learn.
Men and women only exist when there is a need for a gender to be specified. Most of the time it’s just “people”.
Pretty much
I’m all for (trans-inclusive) gender abolition, but this is just erasing invisibility of women and queers (e.g. history of science)
Most of the time gender doesn’t matter though. It only matters when you need to qualify something. Not everyone thinks about a person’s gender First
Correct
My homie need to go touch grass
Fake + gay
Women are a rumor

What’s red’s username? PM_ME_YOUR_TITS?
Nah dude liking dicks is hella gay
You are only properly straight if you even hate your own dick.
The truly straight thing to do is to get bottom surgery to get as far away from your dick as possible
