    son

    Come on 😮‍💨

    She’s very obviously a woman, don’t call her “son.”

    Why tf am I getting downvoted? What’s wrong with people?

      I mean I know a dude whose initials are KD[last initial]. He doesn’t like his feminine first name, so he started going by Katie. KD. He just can’t win.

        Yes, but you can clearly see a woman in her profile pic, combined with a girl’s name, on a trans instance, and if any of that gives you pause enough to check her profile, you’ll find it says, “sapphic. hater of capital letters. bunny and cat mum.” Just because some random guy somewhere goes by KD does not make it ok to misgender someone who is very obviously a woman.

        Whoever downvoted this, come out and say it my face, coward. Fuck transphobes.

          Anyone browsing on most mobile Lemmy apps does not see profile pics btw, so people might be downvoting because “she’s very obviously a woman” is in fact not at all obvious to mobile users.

          I did not downvote btw. Am using Eternity Lemmy client.

          I can’t recall ever seeing a single profile pic on Lemmy. Even when clicking on a username, all I see are posts, no profile. I honestly didn’t even know there was a profile to edit. I’m primarily on Voyager.

          No downvotes from me; just adding my experience to the conversation.
