punlich: jewel-of-the-hoard: punlich: eeveelutionsforequality: Being cis does not make you transphobic. Being cis does not make you anything. “Cis” is just a word to describe someone who’s gender identity and biological sex (or “assigned at birth” sex) align. That does not dictate your opinions, your pleasantness, your respect, your political views, your experience, the hardships you will face, or pretty much anything about your life. It definitely does not make you a bad person. The vast majority of people are cis. The vast majority of cis people are lovely. Stop vilifying cis people. Stop diluting the meaning of the word “transphobic” by applying it to people who don’t have a hateful bone in their body. Transphobic people are horrible. Being cis does not make you transphobic. ~ Vaporeon “being cis does not make you anything”

Cis people confirmed as soulless hollow voids First of all how dare you say such a thing, the real soulless hollow voids out there have enough problems already without being slandered. Second, and more seriously, “we must not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.” If you’d damn 80% or more of the world, strictly based on circumstances of birth, you’re not a supportive, benevolent activist, regardless of your intentions toward the remainder. Such behavior is more characteristic of a spiteful, bigoted asshole.

When will you be satisfied? Is “judged by the content of their character” on the agenda anywhere, or do you just want to grind everyone outside your phyle down to dust, and cast out as traitors anyone who fails to respect your revolutionary zeal?

Cis people confirmed for ground down dirty dust The op also thinks that “Hey, maybe you’d be better heard if you weren’t so rude” is censorship lmao what an incredible hypocrite



Actually my “Stop trying to censor Mod Umbie” was in response to the end of the comment “you’d be received better if you tried not to add the extra commentary” - which clearly says that they want Mod Umbie to stop responding to posts. I’m all for politeness, but telling someone not to comment because you don’t like what they say… wait, what do we call that? Oh right, censorship.

Commenter confirmed potato, who didn’t even read the ask.

Also, Mod Umbie isn’t rude, and hasn’t been rude - the ask wasn’t sent to ask Umbie to be more polite, the last part was the part that held the brunt of their opinions. They were trying to tell Mod Umbie to stop commenting on posts. I’ve reacted the same when people told me not to talk about my atheism in regards to philosophical debate, because it was “hard” to read.

“I may not agree with what you say, but I’ll defend your right to say it.” - even when it comes down to being an asshole. But that doesn’t impede on my right to respond to it, or say “Hey, this is a pretty shit thing to do”, and it definitely isn’t hypocritical of me to want people not to hold a prejudice against an entire group over the actions of a few. I didn’t delete the anon or try to censor their voice - there was no hypocrisy.

Again, commenter confirmed potato.

So, now that we’re done going “BUT LOOK WHAT HE SAID A FEW DAYS AGO!” can you provide a rebuttal for my post? A reason why you think it’s perfectly fine for someone to judge a person based on their gender identity over the content of their character - which is what you’re apparently advocating for? Or is trying to call my character into question the only ground you have to stand on? Because an argument’s validity does not hinge on the morals of he who makes it - should a raging homophobe call the grass green, it won’t turn blue to spite him.
