  • Evidence that many trans people feel they've experienced lots of transphobia there? Would be easy to find that, but I don't care to do that for some off-hand comment. My point had nothing to do with blahaj itself, but rather about how common that opinion is from trans people.

  • Was wondering if they'd get more explicit with what they were implying. Probably not after having a couple people point out how its problematic, but they also got a some upvotes from people who might just be upvoting all replies to my comment.

    Still, the ADHD stream-of-conscious posting probably doesn't help. I'm reminded of the jokes about English classes forcing students to give some explanation of the "meaning" of small details in stories even if the author actually intended no such thing.

  • I never compared blahaj instance to nazis. I compared the argument that the name having "blahaj" in it to meaning the instance is inherently free of transphobia to the stupid argument that having "socialist" in its name means nazis are socialists.

    I haven't had any personal problems and certainly wouldn't make sure a comparison. Also just realized why its seemed so dead: apparently they defederated with the instance I'm using recently. Seems like they're at least trying something.

  • I've probably only forgotten to take my HRT like a couple times in the last few months. I did accidentally miss my allergy medicine a couple days ago. Never have gotten any medication for ADHD though - my mom was against it when I was a toddler and a doctor tried to prescribe it and I haven't bothered trying it on my own. Getting a new diagnosis as an adult seems annoying and expensive.

  • I don't really pay attention to which instance I'm in and don't really see all the much transphobia in general, but like I also don't read through the comments on the types of things that would attract transphobia (things like talks about banning trans people from participating in sports, for example - no meme communities). Just pointing out what the argument is of those who have beef with blajahzone.

  • Would you say the nazis were socialist because they called themselves "National Socialists"?

    Anyways, pretty much any time I see trans people talk about that instance, they complain about all the transphobes that gather there (probably to be transphobic to trans people) and mods/admins do nothing about. If an instance is full of transphobia, seems pretty fair to call it transphobic instance.

  • If they opened outward, they'd block egress in the hallway, which would have equal or more traffick than any single room connected and will enough people in the hallway, you wouldn't be able to open the door to escape at all.

  • Boss gifted me lotion once. Was kinda amusing in that it sorta was an insult, but like I sometimes bleed from how bad my skin sometimes gets so it's not like it's some secret. I think she also apologized in case it was weird.
