For the record I was posting in support of inclusive language, but pointing out that context and convention matter.

They seem to have even scrubbed my comment from their instance, lol.

    If you think you made a mistake I say you should probably reach out to Ada through their email form and request an appeal, instead of making a thread here to complain about all of blahaj.zone. Listen I’m someone who used to be a lot like you and not understanding people being offended by wrong pronouns, I have learned though in my journey that for people who are Trans, assholes and bigots take every opportunity to push them down or make them feel invalid, on top of everything else. Being trans is not easy, and I don’t think people who aren’t can ever truly understand how difficult it really is.

    So when someone is excusing using wrong pronouns or excusing transphobia, it can be extremely hurtful to people who are traumatized and have gone through misgendering and invalidation, or are continuing to go through it right now.

    Try to understand that for many trans women out there, being called a dude hurts, not just because of being called a dude but all the other shit on top of that that comes with being trans.
