Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

And apparently, also when you think that 'They' is a perfectly serviceable gender-neutral singular pronoun, but are willing to use other pronouns if asked to.

EDIT: Other removable offenses on Blahaj now include questioning mod/admin decisions and quoting the modlog as a reason why you're leaving.

Wrong right off the bat. Go and read any of drag’s comments describing their gender and report back. Drag has said consistently said something quite different from what you falsely claim so I am curious as to who/what muddled your reading.

Because drag uses first person neopronouns. Drag’s drag/dragself pronouns are person independent. They’re inflected and conjugated the same way in all grammatical persons. They represent drag’s identity as a dragon rider.

Drag rides dragons and also “rides” dragons

Drag, being straight, is attracted to the opposite gender; dragons. Everyone who tells you their sexuality is giving the same information drag just gave you, but with the details changed.

And even if you were correct in your assertion, it still wouldn’t give an excuse to misgender. Besides they/them, one of the most common GNC expressions are fae pronouns, while fairies of course don’t exist either. Are you aware of this, and of the parallels with the identity you are disparaging?

'Fae' as a cutesy neopronoun I have no problem with. Anyone who identifies as literally one of the fae folk?

Yes, that I do have a problem with.

…which you, each time, follow with “your gender isn’t real, because [you are trolling/XYZ isn’t real].” Same invalidating behavior.

"Your gender isn't real, because what you're claiming literally isn't real nor possible for any human being to be."

Like, holy fucking shit, should I go and take back every time I criticized the conservative 'joke' denigrating trans folk of "I identify as an attack helicopter hurr" because that's now perfectly valid?
