UPDATE: The transphobe Ada has been defending says they misgender all trans women/NBs on Blahaj who are strangers - Blåhaj Lemmy
lemmy.blahaj.zoneFurther information on the situation with the transphobia: Abigail has
repeatedly misgendered me and defended her choice by saying she chooses to refer
to all people of unknown gender as male. > Hey, Abigail here. I just want people
to know the reason this person got banned is likely because of a deleted comment
not included in that thread. OP called me ~~autistic ~~ mentally unwell for not
liking politics. THAT kind of behavior is not acceptable on lemmy.blahaj.zone,
so I reported the comment and let Ada handle it. Ada tried in good faith to
reason with OP but it was clear they just wanted to fight. So yeah, they got
banned. Ada’s a fantastic lady who’s been great at keeping the trolls at bay. >
Edit: and the bit about me misgendering them is also wrong. Gender didn’t come
into play until after I had left the conversation. English default on the
internet is male for strangers. Source:

I don't disagree, but I think she and contra hold a special place in my heart cause they were really the start to my radicalization. Contra's earlier videos really got me thinking outside of a capitalist mindset and got me to think "oh, there's alternatives to capitalism, and gender, and blah blah blah", then I read the manifesto, then I started listening to Teach Me Communism, and then I became a chronically online tankie lol. I feel like I'm not the onlyyyy one that did this (I have friends who I think consider themselves socialist and anticapitalist who still like some of Contra's newer stuff), but I definitely feel like the vast majority of her fanbase is annoyingly liberal to a fault. In her recent 'anti-JK Rowling' lane she's been pretty decent I think except for when she steps even slightly out of it.
