It always had such interesting stuff to say. It was banned recently. I think it should be unbanned and allowed back. It had such interesting perspectives on neurodiversity.

    I think a user of neopronouns would be more sensitive to they/them comrades rather than

    cw my read on the transphobic material

    Claim it's not a gender at all

    I mean the fact that it used neopronouns then denied another set of pronouns as identity is just absolute rank hypocrisy and pretty much indefensible. Again, I said this below, neurodiversity isn't an excuse to be shitty to our trans comrades.

    It just seems manifestly bad faith to have a very specific identity and neopronouns then to shit on a large group of our trans comrades.

      Fair enough, but then cite this, not unrelated "bad vibes". I know it wasn't you upthread, but it really strikes me the wrong way that some were saying Dronerights was acting like a wrecker because it seemed like a caricature.

        Yeah like I'd rather treat an "attack helicopter" wrecker earnestly and then eventually ban them when the mask drops than treat some comrade shittily who earnestly identifies that way.

        I'm not trying to start a struggle session, but I wonder if there is a site policy on "race change to another". I'm thinking of the recent QAA pod on it, and while I know we're in neurodiverse, I feel like it's relevant to the conversation about DroneRights coming in with an unfamiliar trans identity (at least as far as it presented itself).

        Should we bother with RCTA people or someone who claims they are "transracial" or some shit? Or should we just ban it...

        I'm not equipped to comment on this personally, but would rather just have the mods come up with a transparent and proactive policy so expectations are clear and if we as a community determine that's unacceptable we can educate new comrades right away that that shit doesn't (or does, again I'm mostly interested in what our nonwhite comrades think about this rather than my own opinion) fly.
