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 was, i either overlooked the "etc." or somehow didn't infer from it that you meant a plural "they". I'm super fucking sorry for this. It was an honest mistake, and if you re-read that sentence in question and leave out the "etc.", you can probably imagine how i came to these conclusions and how it felt to believe that a trans comrade did that kind of thing to another trans person.
Once more, i'm really really sorry for misreading you, and for causing that amount of distress. It's always a particularly awful kind of pain when people from within the community jump at you with such accusations when they're in the wrong, i know what that's like, and i should've taken a second and reread your sentence before posting to avoid putting you through that kind of shit. That was negligent and careless of me and i should've given you more of a benefit of the doubt and double-checked what you wrote. Do you want me to edit that comment or should i leave it up? I really want to make this right and if you want me to remove or edit the comment, it's the least i can do.

You're absolutely right, i'll fuck off and leave you alone. If there's anything you want to tell, you can DM me or message me openly at any point, but i get this isn't a time where i can do anything to mend the harm i've caused and i'm out of here.
Both you and Tastysnack clearly have the best interest of yourselves and fellow trans comrades at heart. Sometimes passions can run hot, and we are reminded of the importance of solidarity. <3
