In the spirit of the Ancient Greek Agora, we invite you to join our vibrant community - a contemporary meeting place for the exchange of ideas, inspired by the practices of old. Just as the Agora served as the heart of public life in Ancient Athens, our platform is designed to be the epicenter of meaningful discussion and thought-provoking dialogue.

Here, you are encouraged to speak your mind, share your insights, and engage in stimulating discussions. This is your opportunity to shape and influence our collective journey, just like the free citizens of Athens who gathered at the Agora to make significant decisions that impacted their society.

You're not alone in your quest for knowledge and understanding. In this community, you'll find support from like-minded individuals who, like you, are eager to explore new perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and grow intellectually.

Remember, every voice matters and your contribution can make a difference. We believe that through open dialogue, mutual respect, and a shared commitment to discovery, we can foster a community that embodies the democratic spirit of the Agora in our modern world.

It's transphobic to imply that you're being precious by wanting your clearly listed pronouns respected

Oh, no, that's not what my comment is implying. I always use the correct pronouns! :)

No. It's implying that for a group of self-tooted "trolls", you guys are pretty damn fragile. not transphobic either, not everyone who uses pronouns are trans

What exactly is fragile about being angry when someone misgenders you when your gender is unambiguously listed, that's what you're supposed to do

[–] goat@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, pronouns aren't gender. I can use he/him but be a cis or trans fem.

Hexbear users often call themselves trolls or act trollishly. If you really are going to be encouraging disrupting other instances, you gotta have a stronger back. Many users find a pig shitting itself quite offensive, but does Hexbear care? No. Same dealio.

Gee it really sounds like you have logicbroed misgendering out of existence how can I respond but just bowing in respect

Hexbear users often call themselves trolls

Citation needed. Y'all call us trolls we are genuine people who actually care about things. Like transphobia.

Gender identity is really easy stuff, dude.

After reviewing the evidence it seems like we don't consider ourselves trolls, good to see we're on the same page sankara-salute
