Kinda a dick response to what was a considerately, sensitively asked question.

[–] nicknonya@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

the dickishness is likely due to that last paragraph:

I'd guess the shitty comments are from people dismissing this as a pile of buzzwords, hopefully if they can understand better then they'll be less shitty :)

this makes it seem like the fault for the chuds behavior relies on op for not being clear enough with their labels, as opposed to with the chuds deciding that someone's chosen self descriptors are somehow incorrect.

this is not helped by how bigots excuse their behavior as just wanting a Fair and Rational Discussion™, ignoring that what they want to "discuss" about is the validity of someone's whole existence.

It certainly isn't a paid role, but in my experience those who seek to marginalize often do so with a whole lot of ignorance involved.

You continue to be under no obligation to help educate the blind, but if you knew going into this that some people would have comments and questions about the impressive number of labels you've applied to yourself, it just feels like you're setting yourself up to get mad on the internet at this point. Otherwise why bother including them in your post at all?

You also were not required to answer at all...

Honestly this hostility is off putting.

Evidence that marginalized individuals are just as capable of asshol-ish behavior as the majority.

But “non-binary girl” was not included in your description. But I guess one could have searched the other words.

Anyways, new instance sound cool. Hope it goes well. Also, fuck threads, amen.
