Hah, I love it.

It's natural that you're hostile to me, because you're uncomfortable, but me, I need to suck it up and be friends with you, despite you making me uncomfortable, because as the person you're "uncomfortable" with, the responsibility is all mine. You just sit there awaiting passive education, and feel guilt free dishing out your "discomfort" until then.

When I said I miss the transphobia free days of lemmy, that's what I was talking about. Because this conversation we're having right now wasn't a thing even a few months ago.

Trans people started one of the first [...] Lemmy instances as well.

Yes, I'm one of those trans people...
