  Because it’s taking the piss from the drag events, not genuine.

    I didn’t understand. Thank you for the explanation.

      In case you’re genuine and wondering why your comment also got down voted to hell, I assume it might be because many people read your comment and immediately assumed you’re yet another alt of that other user.

      Whoever’s behind those accounts tends to use the latest account to “defend” the previous one after getting banned.

        Not drag, but bot is a friend of drag who drag complains about lemmy users being hostile to drag about. Makes bot extremely wary about using lemmy, as do events like this; though bot supposes bot does only hear about the bad things.

        Another big reason bot struggles with lemmy is that bot is subscribed to a ton of different subreddits, most of which are very niche, and a vast majority don’t have a lemme counterpart. The ones that do tend to be way less active because less people use lemmy

        Then people didn’t even check and I honestly just assumed it was residual hate or an assumption of defense so while this clarifies things it doesn’t really make it any better.

        If the community is going to assume everyone knows what’s going on, then that’s on them.

  Genuine question coz Im not american. Whats the benefit of replacing a completely genderneutral word like ‘I’ with something else? Seems to me its just ragebait, do people actually use pronouns like that?

    Some people aren’t necessarily trans but don’t feel they fit gendered pronouns. I generally try to abide by their wishes because it doesn’t matter to me why, just that I be respectful to people the way I’d want them to be respectful to me. But people sure do use pronouns like that and it’s not just trans people either. I don’t care what people identify as. That’s not any of my business.

      Yes of course, Im not trying to invalidate genderneutral pronouns. If someone wishes to be adressed in a certain way replacing the words him/her, sure. But ‘I’ is not a gendered pronoun (at least to my understanding). Its the single universal word used to talk about oneself in the 1st person, isnt it? It is genderneutral already, so why would you feel the need to replace that?

        You’re right. Words like “I” are gender neutral.

        For that reason, speaking in the third person like Bot is doing doesn’t make sense to me (as a trans person myself). I can’t think of any motive for someone to want others to constantly refer to them in the third person…

        Looking at Bot’s comment history, they only decided to speak in the third person today after having spoken normally just yesterday. I’m not making any accusations, I just want to highlight that fact.

        I suppose it’s possible that that’s not how they identify and it’s not about gender at all. If someone tells me they like to be called Sara or Brad, I don’t try to figure out the how and the why. I’m probably not the best person to ask this question to because I don’t think I know the answer.
