the mainstream LGBTQ+ community is clearly accepting of trans men and most of the “in-fighting” in queer communities is made up by conservatives.
I am NOT a conservative and I am NOT making this up.
And I really do not fucking appreciate how you have been talking to me this entire time.
also way to piss me off. Like are you trolling? Did you miss the context of my original post? You sure glazed over the discrimination I was talking about just to correct me on something that didn't need to be corrected.
This really comes off like you're trying to make this out like I said something I NEVER SAID.
yes I'm mad. I feel like you're fucking with me and you better not be. Like do everyone a favor and be honest. Are you really trying to have a good faith discussion about this?
I deal with enough racism and homophobia in real life. I don't want to deal with it here too.
I thought this was going to be more of polling post.
Anyway I did. I deleted my account and haven't gone back for anything since then. It's rough too cause now there's no connection to the local groups here.
I joined a local instance hoping there would be local people posting but I guess that's not how lemmy works.
Right? The best plan.
because as far as you were concerned, everyone is in the same tribe as you
I definitely don't think that way. I'm aware that I am different from other people.
Reposting from my other comment:
Well I had the luxury of dating a psychologist who specializes in diagnoses and her brother is autistic - so she is very aware of autism and how it works and what it looks like in different people.
She confirmed I'm not autistic and thought it was hilarious that anyone would assume that about me. She's known me for years and she has experience in that field. She knows better than just randoms at a meet up group would.

When I told her that random autistic girls from my comm were making this assumption she gave me the biggest eye roll and a laugh. Because duh, I'm not autistic.
I'm impressed that you managed to reach gf level with someone like that.
If I can't get through a conversation with a person it's just like, too frustrating for me. Makes me feel crazy too. Like I know I'm being coherent but talking to someone like that makes me feel like I have to try extra hard to understand them even though they're the ones not making sense.
I'm not sure! Last I saw he hooked up with some girl and moved back to Montana I believe.
Right? Like the person who was insisting he was always bald due to some weird blind hatred. Like the guy use to just be a dumb stand up comedian/actor. As far as I remember he wasn't outspoken in the 90's like he is now.
I feel like nitpicking things like this is taking away from more important things.
Like the fact that transmen ARE MEN.
Becky Connor. She was such a little bad ass when she was growing up and she does a hell of a job bouncing back from being a widow as an adult.
We have a lot of engineers, and various departments. The customer service side is pretty small but then there are things like advertising and our social media group which is huge cause its more important.
Exactly but I've been crucified in conversation for bringing the show up because he was on there.
That's really cool. You sound like one of my old roommates - he wanted to do the same type of games and do every part of making them.
god that sucks to hear.
I'm alarmed at the amount of people I met, mostly women, who are like upset when I tell them I'm not autistic. It's like they want me to be or something. They insisted I needed to get tested to be sure.
Like what is with these people wanting this to be common and wanting to get people join in like its a club? It's a genetic trait. You either have it or you don't I thought.
I don’t know a single person who thinks you can’t like someone’s art because you dislike the artist
I know plenty of people like this.
