Rules
- Any drama must be posted as an observer, you cannot post drama that you are involved with.
- When posting screenshots of drama, you must obscure the identity of all the participants.
- The poster must have a credible post and comment history before submitting a piece of history. This is to avoid sock-puppetry and witch hunts.
The usual instance-wide rules also apply.
Chronicle the life and tale of the fediverse (+ matrix)
Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

MODERATORS
That person doesn't gatekeep anyone and their reply to you clearly shows that they engage in good faith.
“Requiring therapists” before allowing transitioning puts up another unnecessary barrier.
You are literally putting words in that person's mouth. They were suggesting therapy as a good idea before medical transition and expressed their opinion in a polite, elaborative way. And here you go running around claiming that they push the message that therapy should be required, that they make someone unable to transition without going to therapy etc.
You don't have to be so defensive when you're arguing with someone who doesn't threaten neither youin particular nor any group of people in general. You could've expressed your disagreement politely and go mind your day, but you chose to stir up all this drama.
🙄🙄
Bigotry even expressed in a polite way is bigotry.
There is no need to speak therapy as an advice before a transition 🙄
We know the discourse by hearth and yeah that's pushing the idea of a mental disease concerned our choices... So it isn't welcomed !
Being so agressive over someone else's cluelessness is not OK. Imagine if teachers in schools were that punitive over children solving problems wrongly, kids would never have learnt anything.
I didn't claim that politeness makes one's assumption correct all of a sudden, I was pointing out that it was an indicator that OP was not being trolled and could've presented their disagreement not in the form of drama, enlighten the other side of the discussion and have a nice day.
Cis people are not entitled to teachers. Trans people shouldn't be forced into a teacher role for all trolls on the off chance they're merely clueless. Many trans people have shared their lived experience, including in this thread, it isn't hard to find.
Here's the ideal solution: person spreads their ignorance. Their ignorance is dutifully removed. Person goes on to learn why their ignorance was ignorant and maybe thinks before speaking next time.
