Just a matter of time before they start banning expressions of solidarity on the grounds that it is NSFW

I dk how misgendering and dead naming is not considered bullying in general. Cis ppl dont like being actively called the wrong gender or wrong name either. These protections help everyone.

For some of us out of loop - what is deadnaming?

[–] BipolarSilence@lemmy.cafe 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Using the trans person's forename, despite them going by their preferred name

[–] valtia@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Just want to point out that oftentimes it's not just their preferred name—it's their new actual legal name

I don’t understand what is so hard about this? I have to respect people’s magic stories that they are willing to kill over. Why can’t you accept someone’s legally changed identity? I see no difference.

This made me delete my LinkedIn app, prime material as it was for making Lemmy posts
