You know posts like this annoy the hell out of me because people with this mindset put identity before character, and I really hate when that is somebody’s list of priorities.
Before coming out as trans, people ditched me when I was mentally unwell. I’d done more than enough to prove the kind of character I have, but say one stupid blanket statement about women in a severe depressive episode, and people treat me as a dangerous man. This despite the fact that I’ve been open about how the women in my life to that point had either abused me, severely betrayed my trust, or both.
Then I come out as trans and suddenly now the full context of what happened then is understood by others? It’s frustrating as hell and makes me feel extremely tokenised. Like wow guys, feels fantastic that I’m being judged by how I identify and not by the merit of my actions or the circumstances I’ve grown from.

21·24 days agoGreat, blatant transphobia, trying to subtly push in the “trans people groom children” trope.
Not going to give you the time. Goodbye.

2·24 days agoI don’t know what to tell ya man, I literally highlighted why I like the character and why I use them as a profile pic, and you’re actively choosing to ignore that fact in order to paint me as something I’m not.
End of the day, I explained my rationale, you’re rejecting it attempting to paint me as something I’m actively showcasing I’m not, and thereby you’re the person putting a sexual connotation here while trying to project that narrative onto me.

21·24 days agoMe liking a character from a series because she represents my experience growing up with undiagnosed inattentive ADHD: “wow, she’s literally me, it feels nice feeling seen”
Random internet strangers: “Well you see, that’s a red flag because clearly you must have an attraction to children and there can be no other reason why you like this character. I didn’t make this weird at all!”

62·24 days agoNo, I’m calling this out.
We have a disagreement in another community to which you name call me and mock me having depression in response to that disagreement, and then you come here and essentially vaguepost calling me pedo adjacent because of my profile picture?
I like Osaka because she’s relatable and gives me comfort as a character that speaks to who I am, not because I think she’s attractive. I genuinely have no words to how low this is.

Technology@lemmy.world•Codeberg Bans All Cryptocurrency-Related ProjectsEnglish
2·1 month agoI disagree with OP calling it fascism to ban it, but people here are forgetting Monero exists and the valid use cases a cryptocurrency like that can have.
Not every cryptocurrency is a scam or a means to manipulate markets. If I’m in a country where I’m doing something objectively good, but still against the law, then cryptocurrency works if it requires finances to operate. See Sci Hub.
Edit: Why was this top of my homepage, I’m just noticing this post is two months old lol.
Good to know you’re actively screwed if your parents disowned you.
