Car Talk with Martok is off this week for Thanksgiving and because I have COVID and am embracing the sweet release of death. Come back from my break and a day later get fucked. Come on.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans out there. Hope your day goes great and you get much of the food. Send some Mashed Potatoes and Gravy my way. I’d kill for some right now.

    Please, try to have some empathy for those that are different from you. You’ve been following this person for months while they talk about their gender, and your conclusion is that it’s some joke, or dog whistle? Just accept that not everyone is going to have a common gender and move on.

      No. I haven’t. They were banned from this community 3 months ago and I forgot they exist until they commented above. I would like examples of me “following this person”. I am also not a moderator nor an admin. I had no hand in their banning.

      However the blatant double account here is pretty intense. You created your account 42 minutes ago just to make this comment? Sure.

      Edit: Out of curiosity I asked an admin from another instance to check if they were the same person. According to that magic 8-ball, “all signs point to yes.” What a huuuuuuge surprise. Oh noooooo.

      Blocked and moving on with my life.

        I have trouble logging in, I’m a troll. Someone has an unusual gender, they’re a troll. I think I’m starting to get how you deal with things you don’t like online. I’m trying to ask you nicely to check yourself while you’re being transphobic. That shouldn’t make you fight, that should make you say “okay, I’ll stop being horrible.”

        Believe it or not, other people care about supporting trans rights. Other people will actually make a new account (and abandon their @mechoselachia@lemmy.world) account so that they can ask you to display the barest shred of empathy for a nonbinary person.

        And you will listen to someone asking you to have empathy, and you will decide to ignore them and attack them, because apparently you have no empathy to give to nonbinary people, and you don’t care.
