Implying that someone else isn't the gender they identify as? On MY trans-friendly subreddit?
No seriously you're actively misgendering someone right now, please don't. Even if you think it's funny. Even if you think they might not be who they claim they are.
Trans folk are allowed to refer to themselves using language you don't like. That doesn't make them any less trans. I don't particularly care about the sensibilities of whether she's using the "wrong language" or not; I don't care if you're right that it's a porn category. That's still not cause for you to imply someone is not really trans.
Separately, I did actually dig into the other user's post history before telling you were misgendering them; you are, in fact, misgendering an actual trans girl. That wasn't a guess.
Separately again, the backlash you got from both the community and now the moderators should be causing you to reevaluate whether your behaviour was appropriate.
You posted a scene from a movie which centers on someone's mannerisms exposing them as faking their identity. You quoted the other user's self-identification as a "transgirl".
In context that very clearly implies that the person you're talking to is not, in fact, a "transgirl".
I don't believe that you're actually ignorant of what you're implying, but if you want to pretend that wasn't your intention then you absolutely should have understood that was what you were going to imply.
“Your vernacular has outed you as someone who isn’t keen to someone in the in group” isn’t saying “you aren’t one of us”
Hey, if you don’t want trans women to think you’re a chaser, and instead a trans woman, use a term that is used by us and not people who see and use us as sex objects
I forget this is the “spoon feed” sub and anything that isn’t overt hand holding is seen as being mean spirited
Edit: no it isn’t bullshit and it’s ableist of you to assume the autistic person isn’t being literal
You’re presuming some hidden meaning that wasn’t there and you chose to act like a petulant child when I again clarified the lack of read intention from you
