I mean I know a dude whose initials are KD[last initial]. He doesn’t like his feminine first name, so he started going by Katie. KD. He just can’t win.
Yes, but you can clearly see a woman in her profile pic, combined with a girl’s name, on a trans instance, and if any of that gives you pause enough to check her profile, you’ll find it says, “sapphic. hater of capital letters. bunny and cat mum.” Just because some random guy somewhere goes by KD does not make it ok to misgender someone who is very obviously a woman.
Whoever downvoted this, come out and say it my face, coward. Fuck transphobes.
lol… you really need to pick a better hill to die on than this- “who downvoted me?! My words need to be respected!” crap. I downvote you all the time when I see you trying to get under people’s skin- which is more frequent than when you’re not.
You aggressively argue with people and refuse to accept that others see the word differently than you do. And both your modlog and your comment history proves this.
Let’s see… I don’t throw temper tantrums when people downvote me. That’s one difference. I also don’t give a shit what people online think about me enough to whine that people disagreeing with me. And lastly, there’s little I find less important than what method someone uses to type shit on an Internet forum.
Very convenient how you skirt around why people are actually downvoting the person saying you shouldn’t misgender people. When the way people “see the world differently than you” is that they think trans people’s identities don’t deserve respect, they’re not owed a respectful response
Very convenient how you completely ignore my entire point that they’re a petty troll with a modlog to prove it- they’re here browbeating people because of their choice in apps- and that I couldn’t care less what they’re arguing for, or against.
Now- considering that I have explained this to you once already, it’s now safe to assume that you’re just trying to manufacture an argument here. However, I’m a mature adult and I don’t play little debate-troll games with people.
Nothing screams mature like one or two dozen comments dogpiling someone who corrected what looked like super blatant misgendering. Why is it so important to dogpile somebody who corrected misgendering? Why not just move on like a normal person and not act like downvoting someone for pointing out misgendering isn’t weird?
In the off chance you’re not arguing in bad faith here, seriously what’s the point of this? Somebody corrected some misgendering that looked blatant and pointed, and didn’t even have that strong a reaction to it, and you and like 20 others downvoted and dogpiled them for it. Why? And it started before lemmy apps were even brought up, so that’s not it. If you or anyone else who downvoted think trans people deserve respect, why are you spending so much energy punishing someone for respecting a trans person’s pronouns? Explain how downvoting someone into oblivion for correcting misgendering does anything good for trans rights
I can’t recall ever seeing a single profile pic on Lemmy. Even when clicking on a username, all I see are posts, no profile. I honestly didn’t even know there was a profile to edit. I’m primarily on Voyager.
No downvotes from me; just adding my experience to the conversation.
Anyone browsing on most mobile Lemmy apps does not see profile pics btw, so people might be downvoting because “she’s very obviously a woman” is in fact not at all obvious to mobile users.
I did not downvote btw. Am using Eternity Lemmy client.
There’s still the username. And the proper response to that situation is, “Oh, oops, I didn’t realize, let me edit my comment, thanks for bringing it to my attention.”
If I can figure out a way to view who downvoted, I will be tagging them to call them out and name and shame. I find it completely inexcusable. If they didn’t know they were in the wrong, they wouldn’t be afraid to show their faces and explain themselves.
You’re trying to own me by intentionally misgendering some other random person. I hope you feel good about yourself. All you’re doing is proving my assumption about you correct and vindicating me. You showed me everything I did here was 100% correct and justified and I would do it again.
I really want to down vote you because of your aggressiveness and off topic ranting but I’ll ask instead what about their username should tell me the user’s gender?
Why the fuck are y’all using these shitty apps that don’t display either profile pics or usernames properly? Literally worse functionality than just using a browser.
Don’t get mad at me for your choice to use a shitty product that takes away basic functionality and causes you to be ignorant about people’s identities.
“Um, actually, you’re being unfair to people using text-only browsers.”
Come on 😮💨
She’s very obviously a woman, don’t call her “son.”
Why tf am I getting downvoted? What’s wrong with people?

How do you see the world differently to them? Go ahead, say it
How?

I did vot you down and I’m also the guy who started all this.
You’re not wrong. You’re just an asshole. That’s why people vote you down.
Then edit your comment.

Clearly, this must be a man 🤡🤡🤡
My app shows me cupcakezealot as the username. Must be a woman 🤡 🤡 🤡

I downvoted you. It’s because you don’t know how to discuss topics like an adult without arrogantly insulting people.
News flash: Despite what you seem to think- no one here is beneath you. You’re just a random person on the internet- just like everyone else.
Most apps don’t show profile pics unless you actually go to the profile.
Then, genuine question, why do you use them?
Because I don’t care about your profile picture.
Or seeing display names.
Nope.
Why is it your business what they use?
