Valid criticism? Using deadnames and putting “transitioned” sure ok.
Also hard to say they are being censored when you know, downvotes aren't censorship. You might be anle to say what you want but that has consequences. Kinda sounds a little like op might have earned their ‘downvotes to oblivion’ or whatever
God forbid people use technical/biological terms that have been in use for decades! Oh the horror 😱 People seriously need to get a fucking grip if they can't handle the word "transitioned" or referring to a third person as their dead name.
Now you're just being disingenuous. Its not because you used transitioned, you used “transitioned”, and calling people by… their deadname? Come on, take the L and admit you don't care about or respect trans people.
I was referring to their former and current selves, which is the reason I used both names. Would you refer to Bruce as Kaitlyn? How is that any less fucked up? Am I supposed to beat around the bush and say "when Kaitlyn was a man" just so I don't anger the transgender community for daring to use their former name?
Also, stop assuming you think you know what I care about, that just makes you look like an asshole. I was hanging out with multiple people for hours last night that are members of the LGBTQIA+ community...so kindly shut the fuck up 😉

Oh by censorship I mean the amount of mild comments I had removed on my old account here
Yeah because you were being a dick.
God forbid someone says something out of line and have a differing opinion!
Not the point, but sure if you want to understand it that way, you're free to do so. 🤷
The point is people are allowed to say something non politically correct and not be crucified for it.
But they're not being crucified. They're just being either down voted, or in the case of being banned, well, that's a website's owner deciding they don't want to see this on their private property.
Just like you are free to on yours, BTW.
"Crucified" was pretty obvious hyperbole...
Also a website is not "private property" and mods aren't "owners".
Oh? So if I run the website and pay for the servers and all, I can't just shut it down? Not my choice?
You definitely can't shut down their server at your request 🤣
You can cancel your service.
That's also not the definition of private property.
Sure can, it's under the guest bed.
Censorship because you are offended is the fall of society
No it just means you were a dick so someone kicked you off their private property for it. That's their right, isn't it?
