No, you were pretty clear in what you said. Not sure why people upvoted that explanation instead of yours.

Taking all the misgendering here into account too, this shit is like calling Jesse Lee Peterson the N-word and defending oneself by saying that because he is a horrible person it's okay to do so.

So, now "trans" and "mentally ill" and "autism" are derogatory labels comparable to racial slurs?

Oh dear.

Do you realize how insulting that is to everyone with autism and mental illness, and trans for that matter?

Sometimes I take a second and remember everyone is allowed equal access to typing comments. Which is a good thing even though that includes some of the worst/most toxic people. Imagine the reaction if/when confronted by someone with actual ill intent. Having been covered in a bubble of non reality is gonna prove so detrimental.

someday we’ll all “get wrecked” in one way or another

the struggles matter less than what we choose to make of them

I wasn't strictly talking about lumping in "trans" and "autistic" with all those qualities. I said including the misgendering. That's the source for the analogy. And the only defense that seems to be there for this behavior is "She's a horrible person" which yes, we fucking know, thanks.

[–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

So if someone is bad, erase the fact they are trans and never ever bring it up? But if they are good you're allowed to reference it? Or are both situations equivalent to the N word somehow?

[–] dreamy@quokk.au 1 points 1 month ago

Show me where I said any of those things.
