normalizing transphobic language by veiling it behind jokes or memes or whatever isn't cool, and if you double down on it by getting on my case for being offended over a joke you're a piece of shit and I won't trust you ever again.

that's almost a decade of friendship down the drain, but I'm sick of my concerns over harmful language being dismissed as irrationality.

I'm way past my tolerance limit of rehashes of the tired old attack helicopter and "assume my gender" memes.

@Forgebold Memes? I thought they were outright transphobic dogwhistles.

@kellerfuchs oh I don't disagree but that's what said ex-friend insisted they were.

@Forgebold Oh, sorry, I had missed the earlier toots >_<'

*is sorry she missed the context.*

@kellerfuchs don't worry about it, I don't use masto enough myself so when I do I tend to get lost regarding some differences in features between it and birdsite, which I still use more to my eternal shame.
