What's this about, sorry? Is this the thing with keeping chasers on here (which I personally don't agree with)?
EDIT: Ah, never mind. You are a bellend. Should have guessed since you are moaning about the instance full of trans people. Do one, gobshite.
It's over having a community wide hard line on pronouns. Even if a suspected troll is using neo pronouns (or any pronouns frankly) that's not a license to misgender them.
The user that sparked the recent controversy (drag) has a history of being pretty volatile/offensive but that's still no reason to compromise on neo pronouns.
I for one would rather put up with someone 'trolling' while using neo pronouns (until the inevitable ban for saying something shitty) rather than tolerate anyone getting misgendered in a trans-inclusive space.
Fucking hell. Really? Thanks for telling me.
If someone wants to use a less orthodox pronoun fucking let them. Drag might have a history of being a troll but refusing to use drag's pronouns means that drag's gender is conditional on them being well behaved. It turns the use of anyone's pronouns into an act of "just being polite" or "humouring them". Its a culture of gate keeping we cannot afford to perpetuate in the current climate of anti-trans hostility.
