      yes, I am doing a lot of ranting. I fucking am. because I care about queer people and it seems like all you do is weaponize your identity to justify your bigotry. also, for someone who fancies themselves to be a psychologist, I don’t think you truly understand the way slight subtleties can be the telltale difference between a person or another.

      for instance, I will share with you a memory about an intersex person we met, one of the first ones we met online. it was about the pandemic era. we were exploiring our identity and figured out we were a demiboy (already proof that we are not DroneRights’ alt, because it never said anything about being a demiboy from what I’m aware) and possibly lesbian, and we were on this server called Neuroqueer. there was a trans man called Asher on there. he was a kind, sweet and caring person who was very silly and very cheerful. he told us at some point he is also intersex and would talk about the intersection between his intersexuality and his transness. DroneRights is not the first nor the last intersex person we will have encountered online, but we took the time to understand intersex people, to understand queerness fully and completely, and to make sure that, every time someone who is intersex is harassed and targeted, or appears to be targeted, for us to be good allies and stand up to them. maybe this will come as a shocker to you, but I don’t think an alt would just say this out of the blue: we are not intersex. but we need to stand up for intersex people anyway. to insinuate that I am simply an alt is simply based on your previous assumptions and on whatever happened within your community, which I don’t know. I do not know anything about your community, but I can tell based on what I’ve read so far that your community sucks and that someone needs to say the quiet part aloud.

          well, today you’ll learn that there’s more than a person with DID on the planet other than DroneRights. we do have DID, indeed, that’d be the correct answer to your question. but I think you’d rather argue that I used collective pronouns to describe my system’s existence than to actually face the music and read anything I’ve been trying to explain and/or take a pause and think about the fact that other perspectives than yours exist and maybe you’re not being “attacked” for an opinion, but simply rightfully criticized.

              As I have said earlier, the way you are reacting to this thing reeks of the way right wingers react when their viewpoints are pushed back against. “I was just trying to have a conversation” I don’t think denying someone’s interpretation of a fictional character and their close interpretation of it, or denying their identity is a good discussion topic. I don’t think bigotry has the right to be treated as a “civil and honest” conversation, because its premise is based on hatred and disrespect.

                  there are many reasons as to why there are only a couple resources. a lot of genders are only known to those who have coined them, but that doesn’t mean or invalidate the experience of those who coin the genders. every single minute, someone will coin a gender, and the only resources you have are their sources, their interviews, their statements and posts. as the gender will gain traction, there will be more and more people which will share their experiences and opinions on the gender. essentially, what you are missing is that such a gender who is yet to be fully understood by others than the coiner cannot and will not have sources beyond of what the coiner knows. sometimes, the only source for a gender is a single Tumblr post. that’s it; only a single Tumblr post or TikTok to evidence that gender as being coined. and once again with using your identity to shield yourself. yes, of course I am calling a nonbinary gay person right wing, because you can have fae/it/pup pronouns, be aethergender and puppygender, and yet still hold bigoted beliefs.

                  and I found absolutely nothing, except for content made by DroneRights

                  No, you found several different sources and were approached by several different people and you invented excuses to dismiss everything you heard and read.

                  I’m just calling out the repeated narcissistic

                  “Calling out” people for being mentally disabled is right wing. You’re a reactionary conservative.

              I think it’s really gross how you call having a connection to one of the only characters with a similar gender to one is unhealthy. There are so few examples, and so many fewer good ones.
