I've been told that this is one of the only places on the internet that actually cares about trans people. Salutations from Lemmygrad, I bring with you a gift! (lemmygrad.ml)

One of the only places on the internet that doesn't cowardly shove the pronouns onto a buried profile page where people can ignore them.

[–] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Yeah I don't get why other places do this lol.

Might as well just... not implement it if you're gonna hide it from 99% of the people, just because some chuddies are gonna froth from it.

Like, you can't have your cake and eat it.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They do it specifically for the chuddies. The point is to get the W from the lgbt crowd while ultimately making it a feature that is 100% ignorable. They don't mind that they froth from it so long as it doesn't result in them actively not using the site at all, and they're happy to keep using the site as long as it remains ignorable.

As usual it's performative action by rainbow capitalism.

Libs do this kinda both-sides crap and people still somehow believe that queer people are safe and protected under liberalism. 😐

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Libs get easily manipulated into believing things like pronouns shouldn't be visible for ???? reasons. Despite it being vastly nicer for anyone that isn't cis male. It's way nicer for women to actually have visibility compared to the "there are no women on the internet" mindset.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I feel like I've lost a sense when browsing other sites. it's valuable info on the perspective others are bringing to the table. I think it benefits the cis men also.

[–] Alunyanners@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

I think it benefits the cis men also.

"WHY DO US MANLY MEN BE FORCED TO PUT OUT OUR PRONOUNS JUST BECAUSE OF AN EXTREME MINORITY WHO CAN'T EVEN TELL WHAT GENDER THEY ARE?! PEOPLE CAN JUST ASSUME WE GO AS HE/HIM! MOST PEOPLE ON THE INTERNET ARE MEN ANYWAY. 😤😤💪💪"

I wonder if, given how many liberals are TERFs, they don’t actually want to show pronouns visibly to push back on that “there are no women on the internet” mindset specifically because a trans woman’s “she/her” is the same as their “she/her”.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

Maybe? I can't tell if any women push back against it at all or if it's all men. Mostly because we have no indication. This is one factor I imagine plays a part, faceless voices online with no link to age, background, class, sexuality or gender which are all things you get in real life make the online opinion machine a black box for people that aren't terminally online who have gathered other indicators of certain things in the online space (financebros, crypto etc indicating class for one example)

Outside of stuff like discord servers ran by friends, this is the only not exclusively trans space on the internet i feel safe in, and tbh i actually like it better here than in a lot of expressly trans spaces because i have never encountered any truscum, homonationalist or other assimilationist dinguses on here.
