Five days ago, drag was banned from !politicalmemes@lemmy.world for using neopronouns. A comment explaining drag’s pronouns, and a comment saying “drag” isn’t a nickname, were removed with the reason “trolling”. Drag understands why someone would think that using different pronouns than most people is trolling - transphobia. However, drag is confused how on earth not liking a nickname is a violation of any rules anywhere.

Context of the removed comments:

Drag would like to pre-empt any further accusations of trolling by asking a question: If drag were a right wing troll, and you chose to freely accept drag’s pronouns, wouldn’t that completely neuter the trolling attempt? Trolling is about trying to make others upset. You don’t have to get upset when someone uses unusual pronouns. If you aren’t transphobic, then it’s impossible to troll you that way. And drag promises: drag wants you to not be transphobic. Drag is not trying to upset anyone. If you do what drag wants you to do, then you get what you want too. This is a non-issue, there’s only a problem if you want there to be.

EDIT: DRAG DID NOT TELL ANYBODY TO USE DRAG’S PREFERRED PRONOUNS.

    They harassed me over calling Caillou ‘he.’ As in the cartoon toddler. Seriously.

    I told them that “they/them” and “you” are universal pronouns and that they are acceptable to use with anyone

    Anyone includes cartoon toddlers. Seems like you’re just making up problems because you like drama.

        Okay whatever. Seems like you only use the “I they/them EVERYONE” rationale when it’s time to ignore a trans person’s gender, but drag will continue to give you the benefit of the doubt and act as though you they/them caillou too. Drag isn’t interested in giving you that fight you want. Drag isn’t interested in fighting or antagonising anyone.

          Oh really? You aren’t? Weird, you sure seemed like you were when you intentionally misgendered my daughter as part of your harassment campaign.

          Seems like it’s okay for you to ignore her gender for the sake of harassment.

              You are lying.

              You have no such assurance.

              She is “She/They.”

              You are intentionally misgendering her to troll. I am done here.

                  If you continue to follow me around lemmy.world and harass me about this, or try to fuck around regarding my child in any way, the administrators will be contacted.

                  This will, I expect, be the last time I ever respond to you. You’re a sick person to attack people’s kids.

                    Okay whatever. Drag still isn’t going to fight, argue with, or antagonise you in any way. Drag 100% respects your daughter and your wishes for her. Have fun bragging about the big fight you want to start.
