It finally released! All of you salty dawgs should play my sibling's game. It's fun. It's atmospheric. It's imaginative. Also, my sibling made it, and I got to playtest, so I can attest to its greatness! Play Pelogos!

<3 I hope you feel better going forward. Always happy to see you on my skyline.

I did read both the thread and the piece. My point remains, but let me expand further. Let’s take this, for example:

Huh, no not you, that was a comment on the general discourse and things I've seen happen.

"i think calling a woman a man is weird"

That is true and is ALSO not what was said! 'Engaging in patriarchal purity culture' is nowhere near the same as 'you're a man'. Have a good rest.

I can't stop you, communication works like that and all, but fey has clarified how fey meant 'patriarchal' more than once now. I can't make you move on, but it might be no longer worth your effort to keep barking at the fence about this.

You weren't even mentioned by name, so why would I think you did?, but also she was JUST quoted in the two separate Needle pieces that restarted this discourse. So! IDK what to tell you there.

(Also, blocking is a pretty clear indication of a boundary. Fey doesn't want to talk to Salty right now, stop communicating that she wants to be unblocked and insisting that communication be reopened. It's weird.)

Yeah sure, assuming it's both:

-Unwarranted
-Malicious

I could see that. But even if it isn't warranted, b/c fey is wrong, OP isn't trying to maliciously communicate or say 'she's manly'. So...what do you fem to do? Stop being sincere so you make more sense?

i’m a thin-skinned libertarian cryptofascist who melts down at the slightest whiff of criticism from the user base of my website. time to add a ‘dislike post’ button and take a big sip of coffee,

And I'm personally reaching my limit as well. Waving it away with "well, I'm nonbinary sometimes when it's convenient for a bluesky dust up" ain't it for me either.

I no longer have the patience to pretend this isn't animated by exorsexism because the community doesn't want to really talk about or deal with it. Incidentally, the constant community exorsexism is what's gotten the LLM parody poster so keyed up BEFORE this crashout.

They are too ridiculous with their weird names and their neopronouns and 'non-transitions'. Their demands for an X legal designation is bad because it gives the government a record of trans, and it hurts the community. Do you know how many versions of this I've heard in just the last decade?

The substance of the pushback is "Enbens have gone too far!" in variations and shades. They are too pushy, by convincing the cis HRT isn't needed by some of them not needing/wanting it. They are too demanding by insisting gender doesn't have a look. They are too much expecting ppl to ask pronouns.

Of course it's possible to use cultural rituals to be rude, humans are inventive. But that's a different argument from arguing that norms *should* assume binary as a default and only nonbinary people should be marked or expect to find a way to make themselves marked.

What transmisogynistic reasons? Disagreeing with her? Making her out to be an asshole? Even if fey is wrong, that doesn't make it bad-faith or an attempt to misgender, just incorrect.

25% of diabetics need insulin, but a minimum of 85% of the community needs medical transition. The majority of this is sublimated backlash to efforts to carve out enbens as a real subset of human beings worth changing norms for. Before this, people complained about 'pronoun circles' or being asked.

I don't really care *where* she got it, because one of the subtexts is the continual "minority of a minority" and "marginalized inside the community" rhetoric that gives ppl brainworms counter to reality re: what percent of the community is/need medical transition.

"Show me your papers, trans!" is weird, don't do it. Stop asking people to prove they are transsexual. Very BAD!

Maybe she caught me on a bad day and I didn't have enough patience to read her reasonably. I'm willing to give her another shot with a calmer, more open mind.

My current theory is that you have to clip through both genders at once to bounce out of the frame of reference and cause high speed movement through the genderfuck dimension that causes a precision error when your velocity is calculated, but we shall see.

They need to open the schools. "The only people who can enforce patriarchal rules are men" is not a normal take. Read a book!

"Patriarchal" and "Patriarch" aren't the same word for a reason. Cis women enforce the patriarchy and are patriarchal when they enforce sexual dress norms on younger girls/women and punish transfem eggs for feminine behavior. They are never "patriarchs".

I'm trying to trans so precisely it causes patriarchy to throw an underflow error, but it's only a work in progress. :3

Just call people 'useless eaters' and get out of my mentions.

Ah, well the enemy of my enemy is not my friend. But I'll keep in mind that they don't all like each other and aren't friends. Anything else?

I have tertiary transsexuality; it only appears every third day. It also only affects a third of my body and only my tertiary sexual characteristics(clothes, pronouns, my future bottom surgery).

*Looks at your timeline from the last 24 hours*. Hm, anyway.

Sophie Asimov I think is still her handle. Her and Anne spend all day posting about how the cissexual transgenders have taken over the community and activism conspiracy theory braining about it.

Her analogies re: diabetes has me wondering when 'type one and type two transgender' is going to become common vernacular on bluesky. I'm *so* looking forward to it.
