I’m a gay man. I absolutely hate people who pander to us just as much as people who hate us.

The same should apply to trans groups, I sincerely doubt every trans individual wants to be placed on a pedestal at all times.

Result? Banned from a community.

Power trip confirmed 👍.

      His comment has been purged, but I was able to find the post he replied to. Which was about being the first to call a trans person by their name and seeing the joy it brings them.

      So at the very least, saying “don’t pander” is off-topic. Unless he considers using a trans person’s actual name “pandering”, which is bigoted.

      Oh, and the account is 2 days old, and this comment was the second comment ever made. And all this, including the YPTB post, was within the last hour. Me-thinks troll.

        Here

        Post title: “Spread trans joy, not hate”

        OP: “Don’t put being trans on a pedestal. People are people. Treat everyone equally or be the bigots you’re preaching about.”

        Calling OP a troll is indeed the nicest interpretation I can manage.

          It’s also easy to call a quacking waterfowl a duck. You make a new account, post inflamatory comments on a community you don’t belong to by your own admission, then post here to complain about that community.

          The nicest thing I can call you is a troll.

            Clearly this sub is one you don’t belong to, and yet you’re still here, not following the first pinned post in it.

            Pot calling the kettle black.

                  You are complaining about one of those minority groups who doesn’t get equal treatments while claiming those who get the right treatment to not have equal treatments

              This is very funny, seeing how my comment has one downvote and yours has one upvote. And downvoting trolls is a perfectly valid use of it.

              At the very least, I belong in a power trip discussion community more than a cis gay man belongs in a trans fem community.

              Edit: I will say, the dude had an accurate username.

      I don’t have access to my exact comment. But I said what I said above. That trans people shouldn’t be placed on a pedestal, and true acceptance is equality in treatment for everyone.

      That’s enough for a ban and insulting modlog, apparently.

      This was under a post about “spreading trans joy, not hate”. To that I say, don’t spread anything. Just live your lives. Not difficult to understand that true equality is apathy.

        Just looked at the post.

        Why comment that under this ? There is no “putting on pedestal” there.

        Btw I agree that the mod was powertrippin’

                Ah… I do love the irony when a poster can’t even manage to refrain from being an asshole on their own thread complaining about how unfairly they were treated somewhere else.

                Literally not a strawman. I dont think you have a solid grasp on what that word means.

                That level of understanding explains why you were banned. You clearly have no idea of the meaning of the words you use.

                Good luck! Maybe youll have a sudden realisation one day.

                    Perhaps explain your understanding of a strawman then.

                    My argument is a direct response to your complaint about mods. I did not construct something else to attack.

                    You were banned after commenting on a post about calling a trans person by their chosen name.

                    You have provided zero evidence as to what you said to get banned.
