This is one of those "Why do you get to claim you're special, but nobody is telling me I'M special?" kind of comments. They're saying they just want people to suck as much as anyone else and it all be equal. It's a stupid argument, but definitely different than your interpretation and response. permalink fedilink source parent [+] HurgletOfficial@lemmy.basedcount.com -27 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (8 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 8 child comments replies: [+] pennomi@lemmy.world 35 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] micka190@lemmy.world 11 points 3 years ago Someone tugged too hard 😥 permalink fedilink source parent [+] reversebananimals@lemmy.world 15 points 3 years ago (2 children) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Strangle@lemmy.world -1 points 3 years ago (1 child) I want to hear it.

Like someone complains "I'm tired of hearing about trans in public spaces, pls keep it for yourself, we dont care", and someone replies "Im' tired of hearing complaints about trans in public spaces, pls keep it for yourself, we dont care". I think we all agree that the argument is not really good in any case, but as the second one was a reply, maybe we can see it as an application of first comment's logic to itself. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Stovetop@lemmy.world 9 points 3 years ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] GivingEuropeASpook@lemm.ee [S] 3 points 3 years ago It was probably unproductive of me to try to talk about it further with them, and I really wanted to sign off with "btw I'm nonbinary" on every reply I made permalink fedilink source parent [–] GivingEuropeASpook@lemm.ee [S] 5 points 3 years ago Not really harmless tho, i’ve seen countless places turn into a trans circlejerk. What exactly would that even be? "hnghh, we respect other people's choices and individuality, hngggh" How awful. All we want is to have the same respect and autonomy granted to straight and/or cis people to be granted to us. As for the “caring” part, I don’t care whatever you are, just don’t mention it. And that's harmful because unless you truly are consistent and also don't want men to mention their girlfriends or wives and for women to never mention their boyfriends or husbands around you, you're treating people differently based on their gender or sexuality, allowing someone to talk about their home life, what they may have done over the weekend with their partner, but only if it ain't gay or trans. permalink fedilink source parent
