Edit: I also just got banned for apparently being a troll. Me. Not the person they believe to be a dragon though.

    As i said, it’s not about drag. Regardless if you think drag is trolling, there are people who identity as fae/faerie. Are you going to tell them they don’t exist too?

      If they mean ‘faerie’ as in ‘literally one of the fae folk’? Yes, this is not much of a surprise to anyone past the age of kindergarten, but the fae folk aren’t real either. Holy shit.

          Imagine being such a jaded fuck that you can’t simply allow someone to identify how they so choose. Eat shit, PugJesus

            Imagine being so infantilized that you find the idea that anyone refusing to acknowledge you playing pretend dragon is a violation of your basic dignity.

      What does it mean to identify as a fae? Do they literally think they’re a fae from folklore?

      And to be clear, this is a genuine question.

        I’m no authority to speak on this, but I can say (gender) identity and pronouns aren’t necessarily linked. Some people might lean into the fairy thing for their aesthetic or identity, others wouldn’t. Some might use fae/faer pronouns explicitly to break out of the gender binary / ternary, others might just find that these pronouns fit them. I hope someone with more knowledge on the matter could weigh on.
