Edit: Okay who downvoted this, someone upset that I'm unapologetically Agender?

Not the downvoter. If I had to guess, maybe they had strong feelings against

presenting your personals before the point (as in off-topic/look at me)
pushing the agender agenda
emoji usage on Lemmy
they just hate LGBTQA people, who knows

People will downvote and block nowadays rather than give feedback and discuss. Probably also an effect of information overdosing on the Internet.

Probably very likely the last one, I do know that downvoting people for being openly queer is unfortunately common. It was a big problem on Reddit. I once saw a person in r/SwitchPirates being downvoted because she was a trans girl who was openly trans.

Also I feel like the second one is the same as the last one since there really isn't an Agender, NonBinary, Gay, or Trans agenda, that's just queerphobes who want to make out Queer people to be some kind of bad guys to fight against, rather than people who just want to exist and be recognized.
