#fediblock for Are0h at h-i.social for unrepentant misgendering, aka transphobia and enbyphobia
it pains me to do this but i can't just sit idly by while my fellow queers are dehumanized. i know a lot of people like this guy and the stuff he does. but we wouldn't allow anyone else to misgender people on fedi and just get away with it, so why should this be any different? and it's not like it was just a one-time accident. he's doing it repeatedly knowing full-well the implications and continually trying to justify it
misgendering is NEVER okay. even if you dislike somebody. anything less than unquestioning respect for whatever pronouns somebody might have shows a severe lack of care for the trans and nonbinary community as a whole. an injury to one is an injury to all. i don't care if somebody literally murdered your dog or something you can't fucking misgender them. there's a baseline of human decency here
normally on cyberpunk.lol we try our hardest to stay out of fedi meta. but it hurts so bad to see people

normally on cyberpunk.lol we try our hardest to stay out of fedi meta. but it hurts so bad to see people largely rally behind a person who dehumanizes queer identities on purpose. i have to take a stand and stick to my principles. i know it'll hurt. but i have to. i know there'll be backlash but it's worth it to be true to my values
btw i'm definitely not saying you should harass him. just block and move on

Anyway, if you think I’m a hateful person because I won’t respect the identity of someone who has unrepentantly enabled constant harm against me and my people, I’m fine with that.

and fwiw YES i HAVE gone out of my way to look up the pronouns of people who've harassed me. people we've had to defederate. because it's basic fucking decency towards all queer people

in reply to 🏴☠️ the fediverse's favorite pirate radio DJ 🏴☠️ • • •look all i want is for him to say he's sorry
like just an honest apology. "i'm sorry. i fucked up. i will do better"
but he has yet to actually say that. instead he just keeps talking in circles and trying to justify it. but this sort of behavior can never be justified if you care about trans people. period

in reply to 🏴☠️ the fediverse's favorite pirate radio DJ 🏴☠️ • • •i'm not saying he needs to apologize to directly to david
just generally. to queer people on here. for like, being a big person in this community who did harm. who said some fucked up shit. willfully misgendering somebody normalizes the harassment queer people face every day. he has a big audience. people care about his opinions and listen what he has to say. that's why it's important

in reply to 🏴☠️ the fediverse's favorite pirate radio DJ 🏴☠️ • • •also
even if you don't wanna open the other person's instance to check their pronouns. like you just cannot bear to bring yourself to
you should be defaulting to they/them for people whose pronouns you don't know anyway
ignorance is no excuse
