Me. Not the person they believe to be a dragon though.

I’m gonna be honest, y’all kinda fucking dumb lmao.

Let’s say drag is a troll. If so, then drag’s wanting you to do exactly what you’re doing now. You have taken the bait, hook, line and sinker. Congrats! You’re helping drag cause problems! To avoid taking the bait, you gotta use drag’s pronouns. Do that, and there’ll be no drama for drag to stir up.

If drag isn’t a troll, then you’re just being a dick and intentionally causing drama when you could just use drag’s pronouns. By doing so, you’d make drag feel happy and accepted; which would be very progressive of you.

Soooooo… By posting this, at best you’re just feeding a troll and making other trans people question whether or not their pronouns will be respected (no, really, when cis people start drawing lines for trans people, I get extremely uncomfortable; it’s not your place to do so, fuck right off), at worst you’re being a piece of shit.

YUP. no notes. i see no shortage of “i’m blocking you now” in comment replies to other people. it’s two easy clicks to block a single divisive user. why not drag?

because you all clearly enjoy the drama. you wanted to flex your rejection muscles in the face of clearly stated rules in a community space that was not designed for you. enjoy! yall brought this on yourselves.

You’re acting like this is a bunch of posters getting together to dogpile on poor drag instead of a bunch of posters being upset at the actions and statements of the admin.

Nah, just one cis person telling us how it is.

Right over your head, huh?

I don’t give a fuck about drag really. What drag does and says is up to drag. Drag has a different and challenging identity. The instance mod was applying the rules around identity here, and it seems cis people in here are pissed because they don’t think drag’s identity is valid.

… yes. Being a dragon is not something you can be. Dragons do not exist, much less is there the capacity for a human being to be one.

I can’t believe that this is really a point of contention.

You do understand that pronoun use and (gender) identity aren’t necessarily linked, right?

The existence of dragons has no weight on the validity of drag’s pronouns.

Drag has explicitly stated their gender identity, numerous times before. Like I said, this isn’t about ‘drag’ as a cutesy ‘xe/xim’ equivalent.
