#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

And for the people coming at me about David’s pronouns, let me be clear.

I don’t give a flying fuck about how a racist that has enabled waves have hate and abuse against me and mine on an ongoing basis identifies.

I am under no obligation to respect the humanity of someone who has caused so much harm to people who look like me.

Feel free to unfollow me if you believe hateful abusive people should be treated with the respect they don’t have never shown me.

Because that is some sick shit.

@are0h@h-i.social

And yes, I’m blocking everyone who has a problem with my stance on respecting the identity of a serial abuser and harasser.

If you have more to say to me than the unhinged bigot who brought up my name for no reason to attack another Black-led instance for no reason, you’re just telling me anti-Blackness is ok while us defending ourselves from more baseless attacks isn’t.

I have zero interest in trying to reason with people that will straight-up ignore people attacking us for no got damn reason.

Fuck you and your fake ass morals that only come out to protect hateful people.

Yall are the reason bigots feel so comfortable spreading their lunacy in this place.

And the reason #TheBadSpace exists.

@are0h@h-i.social

White people are on here getting UPSET with me because I don’t respect the identity of a person that cursed my name and didn’t even have the respect to say it to my fucking face while he plays respectable and nice in the open.

This motherfucker has been lying about me for almost a year straight, saying whatever racist shit comes to mind, but suddenly I’m the problem because I respond because I’m tired of his shit.

White people on here are insane, man. They will literally look you dead in your face and say you are wrong when we defend ourselves from unprovoked attacks.

Dr. MLK Jr. was right about white moderates.

I’m not apologizing for defending my space and calling out hate where I see it, especially from known sources.

I’m not gonna play respectability politics because you need the handful of Black folks you follow to mimic a civiliy at all costs attitude while being harassed on here out of the blue.

If protecting the identity of a known bigot is more important to you than trying to stop the targeted harm and harassment that is caused in their name, then so be it.

But I’m trying to negotiate with someone who comes at me with a knife.

If you’re willing to have bigots continuously slap you in your face because you want to be a ‘good person,’ you do you.

But that aint me. And it won’t ever be.

Gorgeous Killer (@are0h@h-i.social)

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.

please don't defederate us over this btw lol. i rely on mutual aid from the fediverse to survive. by encouraging people to defederate us en masse you'd be actively attempting to isolate me from my support network. this could have DEADLY consequences if i'm no longer able to recieve the help i need. that's basically attempted murder with extra steps. and this isn't even that goddamn important

i don't like hate the guy i just think nobody should be allowed to wantonly misgender queer people that shouldn't be a controversial statement

cis people don't get misgendered when they do horrible shit so why is it suddenly okay with queer trans nonbinary people?

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

i'm not trying to take sides in the screencapped conflict btw. and for the people asking why i haven't made a post about david harassing Are0h... i'm not too familiar with that whole meta situation tbh. i just saw a lot of meta about misgendering people you don't like. and then i saw the source of it. and i felt i needed to take action because intentional misgendering is NEVER okay and defending it after the fact even moreso

this is hardly an apology. it's a dismissal and minimization

https://h-i.social/@are0h/112963236242827326

So I’m going over some exchanges I had yesterday after detailing yet another racist incident with tech lgbt’s admin, whose pronouns I got wrong because I generally don’t sit on the profiles of bigots like they sit on mine, which led to some folks being pretty upset.

But what stood out to me is that not one person who assumed I did it on purpose even addressed the history of harassment from that admin and just assumed I was a transphobe because I would not let them talk over me and ignore why I am talking about that fool in the first place.

And yes, of course, most if not all of those people are white.

Did any one of them have any commentary for the racist admin that openly expressed their loathing of me for no reason, knowing it just enables more hate to be thrown my way.

Nope. They rarely having anything to say people who cause harm, especially if they are queer.

I have no issue talking about the mistakes I make because I’m an honest person. But yesterday reminded how many white queers literally sit on my timeline and wait for one slip up while remaining silent on the repeated actions of bigots and even giving them the benefit of the doubt despite significant evidence showing a behavioral pattern.

It’s not going to stop my work, but it was a stark reminder how white people in the fedi enforce a culture of what is important to them and not a culture of safety.

And more often than not, as yesterday showed, it does not include making bigots uncomfortable for...

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

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

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

I have to disagree specifically about defaulting to they/them. Just don't refer to a person by pronouns and use that person's full name. Otherwise it's still misgendering unless that person is okay with they/them pronouns
