I remember when the whole Hexbeargate thing happened, one tankie accused a user here of being ableist for using a relatively (in my opinion) inoffensive word (it wasn't a slur, but considering that one of the server owners found it offensive too, I'm not going to say what word it was here). You know, while defending the leaders who executed people for being disabled.

Protests should be disruptive and scary to the ruling class. If they're upset, odds are that you're doing a good job.
No problem! I hope the way I formated it works with screen readers, I'm not sure if there are any conventions on how to do it or not.
One of the mods made a post about how this comment being really creepy about trans men's bodies somehow wasn't transphobic and then deleted it after people started calling them out lol
Oh, you saw that comment section too, huh?
Yeah it fucking sucks. I hope that it won't become the norm for Lemmy's 196.
I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but that comment is actually pretty fucking gross. If the hypothetical trans guy is fine with his boobs, no problem. But the insinuation that OOP would keep "complimenting" someone on a part of their body that makes them dysphoric is just sickening.
I'm a trans girl. I really don't like having a flat chest, it makes me dysphoric. Yes, there are girls with flat chests, both cis and trans, that are fine with that, and yes, I do find girls with flat chests attractive too. But if someone went up to me and kept telling me my flat chest was hot, despite knowing that it made me, uncomfortable, I'd fucking deck them.
Oh fuck off. This is just victim blaming.
