this site is actually so mean literally all the time so im posting this here to let you know you’re not ‘too sensitive’ or something for not wanting to deal with attacks on your gender/body/intelligence for daring to exist and have fun online. the freaks that act like this are NOT the norm (they are just the loud and obnoxious minority) and it’s OK to take your time in recognizing this. <3

Lemmy has a serious "I'm 14 and very badass" problem. Take the tone way down y'all. You wouldn't act like this in the real world.

I live in a highly repressive area where Trans people are seen as nonhuman beasts, I cant even be myself irl.

You don't know me.

The internet has that problem, but Lemmy is the best at combating that stuff I've seen so far.

Can you pinpoint a post which demonstrates this? I'm mostly on blahaj Lemmy communities, but I'd like to see your perspective.

Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6’4″ 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know.

Please tell me this is pasta. I was confident my sarcasm would have been clear.
