Drag learned how to make homemade sushi because sushi is delicious. But drag’s partner doesn’t like sushi because “the rice is too sour”.

Drag is going to try making sushi with avocado to balance the pH. Drag doesn’t like avocado, so we won’t be able to share, but we’ll both have sushi.

    I had read about that. That’s kind of wild that not understanding or asking can be considered transphobic. I’ve never seen it take the place of I or you. This is new to me…

      I don’t think it will catch on, there’s only one user who actually talks like that, and I’m reasonably confident they’re a troll.

        Based on their modlog I would agree.

      Iloveyhebomb is lying to you lol. The admin has repeated multiple times that mistakes, not understanding, or asking questions are absolutely fine.

      The actual issue is that people were using pronouns as a reason to bring harassment to the instance and so the admin asked people to not engage with suspected trolls and to report them if causing harm instead. Ilovethebomb and others were just sad there couldn’t be more harrassment and got reactionary about it.

        No, what I said was accurate. If you don’t do the neopronoun thing when referring to someone, and use they/them pronouns, they consider it misgendering them.

        That is their stated policy, and they do enforce it.

        I don’t want to get involved in drama I am not knowledgeable enough to comment anything. But thanks for confirming that the admins of that instance are reasonable that mistakes and questions are fine. I didn’t seek any harm by being confused lol

          They are quite understanding with honest questions, but they absolutely do enforce the use of neopronouns, and consider your standard gender neutral pronouns to be misgendering someone who wants to be referred to as Drag.

          It’s all rather silly.
