@photomatt hey. so, you seem pretty defensive and sure that you -aren't- transphobic, and normally i wouldn't think it's really my business to @ you and talk like i know anything about you but. hm. you've made it your business to go into stranger's chats and tell them about how you're not transphobic? so. you know, worth a shot i guess hah.
i'm gonna start by saying something you're not gonna like or believe - but! you are. that's not to say that you're doing it intentionally - i'd wholly believe you're acting on biases on a subconscious level. But, you still are. if you want to change that, you need to be willing to see it - you want to be an ally, and to me that's a huge step. right now, you aren't a great ally - but i think you could be.
I can't speak for everyone here - but for myself, I fucking love this website. it's stupid, and weird, and i love it. i believe you probably do too, if you have a personal account here hah. you're uh! you're tearing it apart. you've allowed your team to disproportionately target and punish trans women while allowing hategroups comparative free-reign over everything. when called on this, you looked and found a post venting comical frustration, and decided to use that to feel justified in your behavior. take a step back - get out of your own head for a minute, yeah? you've made things worse every step of the way, but that doesn't mean you can't make things better, too. no one wants to be "warring with you", so to speak - we want a place on the internet to be silly little weirdos; to express ourselves and be genuine to ourselves. you publicly tore into the community the other day - but that's far from the only instance, and we both know it. i dunno. if you want to fix this, listen to the trans women (and poc) who are giving far more comprehensive lists than i am on what's wrong.
ultimately though, you gotta be willing to admit you were wrong. it hurts, it sucks to feel, but it's gonna do you better in the long run. you're a human - i know that. you fuck it up sometimes - who doesnt? but you gotta move forward in a more productive way than you are right now.
