@tobi @vantablack I will likely defend Ro on a lot of shit here because Ive been around long enough to watch some of my very favorite people on the fedi leave bc the racist harassment was so overwhelming for PV. I still miss Deni, and Mo is around but a lot less. They were some of the first friends I made here and I got to meet Mo IRL. Ro and I had a disagreement once, and he called me out bc he expected me to be better and do better. And I'm grateful for people like that on here. I've also learned a TON from the trans friends I have on here. We should not be pitting our identities against each other. If we are constantly expecting nothing but perfection of each other AND our allies we will never get anywhere. We will never learn, grow, be better and do better, and we deny that growth to others as well. Ro got the point; he didn't need dogpiling to do so. I don't think this post will do anything except pit us against each other AGAIN when we need to be united against those who hate us

#fediblock for Are0h at h-i.social for unrepentant misgendering, aka transphobia and enbyphobia@tobi @vantablack tobi, thanks for saying this better than I could. I agree that misgendering is shitty, and shouldn't happen. However, I saw these posts of Ro's when they were happening and 1) I don't always go check someones profile when they're being a right cunt to me and I don't expect that of other people either. I don't really think any of us should. And that's most likely what happened here. 2) Ro didn't continue to misgender them in subsequent posts if you read those objectively. He simply didn't edit his originals and pointed out that people were barging into his menchies more upset about his misgendering than david's racist harassment of him, a thing he and other Black users here perpetually have to deal with. Why were those same people not flouncing in and out of david's menchies decrying his racism?? Why is this post ONLY about Ro, and not calling for the blocking of david for racist harassment??
