They’re not scary, they’re awesome. At least I don’t find them scary. Maybe some people might be intimidated, but once you get to know some trans people that’ll go away.

Yeah, I mean presentation and gender are separate, a person doesn’t have to change their gender to change their appearance (unless they want to).

On mine I had to use a BIOS flasher tool since it was locked and Dev mode wasn’t allowed to be enabled (think it was due to enterprise enrollment), though flashing the image directly worked like a charm following the unbricking guide.

Tip, you can put full Linux on most chromebooks and chromeos devices. I’ve done it before mrchromebox.tech

I never liked doing it. Got in trouble a few times for not doing it, though that didn’t matter to me since I got in trouble a lot when I was in school. Those dipshits (the counselor) thought I had “Gender Identity Disorder” and was reacting because of “distress” (Not because I wouldn’t say the pledge, I did many worse things than that), they also used the fact that I also had long hair and sometimes would wear a skirt as evidence I had GID. What fun people I spent my childhood with sarcasm I’m glad my parents are and were nice people otherwise I might not be here today.

Oh my god I just said this the other day. It would be very funny if that somehow happened and they sent it back to France. We really don’t deserve it.

You can just buy them, they’re not expensive. At least I don’t think they are. Are they?

That’s significantly better than what I was thinking. I thought it was about heart attacks.

Heart attack rule?

It will. No matter who you are there’s something you have or something you do that they don’t like, and they’ll come after you when they’re done with everyone else. Protest and fight now, while you still can.

This shouldn’t even be a debate or question. This hateful bullshit against Blahaj just needs to stop and mods need to put their foot down and say enough is enough. Like if this kind of shit arguing against a queer friendly instance for being queer friendly is okay or permitted I don’t think that !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com should even be on our instance anymore, and our admins should just remove it.

I hope it doesn’t come to that. I hope this community can put an end to this bullshit and stop endorsing queerphobic users’ complaints.

Oh my god, that makes it even worse, WTF? Seriously how can femboys want to call themselves something that has such an awful connotation to it.

Maybe they don’t know how bad it is or maybe they think slurs are funny and edgy.

Aaah I wish there were fancy pants editor in Lemmy like they added in Reddit. I always forget those funny markdown things and end up messing up my comments and need to edit them later.

Hatsune Miku commiting a crime? That I gotta see.

When one is using it on themselves like you describe it is a form of reclamation. Same goes with trap.

Though I disagree with you and find “trap” to be uber offensive even as someone who is also a femboy, because it implies I pretend to be a woman to trick people, really gross.

You are spot on that these words are mainly offensive when used against people pejoratively, in that context they absolutely are slurs.

I’m not saying it is on the same level, just that it’s a slur, it is used to objectify and dehumanize trans people, usually trans women, by reducing them to their genitals and a sexualized stereotype. So while it isn’t the same level as tr*nny or f*ggot or groomer, it’s still very bad in a different way.

That really sucks, I’m sorry you had to go through that
It really sucks that people can be so ignorant and intolerant. I’m happy you were able to figure yourself out in the end though, in spite of those horrible enbyphobic people.

Already said it in !main@lemmy.blahaj.zone but I’ll say it again so others can see it here.

It seems drag was banned from the site for sharing people’s DMs, though I’m sure that’s not the whole story, drag has a history of being banned for way more than just the thing on the label. Looking at the comments on drag’s home instance where it hasn’t been removed, it seems drag was sharing those DMs in attempt to libel Ada for not taking the action drag wanted. That’s on top of the fact that she did not give drag permission to share them. It’s an asshole move for sure, and I have to say if I were in Ada’s shoes I’d do the same.
