Five days ago, drag was banned from !politicalmemes@lemmy.world for using neopronouns. A comment explaining drag's pronouns, and a comment saying "drag" isn't a nickname, were removed with the reason "trolling". Drag understands why someone would think that using different pronouns than most people is trolling - transphobia. However, drag is confused how on earth not liking a nickname is a violation of any rules anywhere.
Context of the removed comments:
Drag would like to pre-empt any further accusations of trolling by asking a question: If drag were a right wing troll, and you chose to freely accept drag's pronouns, wouldn't that completely neuter the trolling attempt? Trolling is about trying to make others upset. You don't have to get upset when someone uses unusual pronouns. If you aren't transphobic, then it's impossible to troll you that way. And drag promises: drag wants you to not be transphobic. Drag is not trying to upset anyone. If you do what drag wants you to do, then you get what you want too. This is a non-issue, there's only a problem if you want there to be.
EDIT: DRAG DID NOT TELL ANYBODY TO USE DRAG'S PREFERRED PRONOUNS.
What about fae/faer or ze/zir then? Either way seems a little weird to be the one trying to dictate what other peoples gender is allowed to be.
I will grant that messing with first person pronouns makes language difficult, but language also is meant to be fucked with.
Dictating what other people's genders are allowed to be? What about the fact that "drag" intentionally misgendered my daughter in order to harass me?
The irony of posting something like that in this comm is a little much for me
Irony indeed. Drag has to lie about my daughter's gender to my face in order to keep up this farce and you are aiding.

Yes. Based on their own reasoning. And yours. Not mine. You two both clearly think it’s okay for you to do what you criticize me for.
You’re both hypocrites. Hypocrites attacking a teenager to support each other.
