Alright, I've taken some time to really think about how to reply to this and I'm still not sure what to say.
Are the accusations of thinly veiled transphobia and misogyny aimed at me? If that is a sentiment held amongst the mods, I'd have hoped it would be brought to my attention so that I could either apologize for something I overlooked in my behavior and wording or failed to acknowledge in what someone else may have said.
I don't want, as a trans person myself, to ever make other trans people feel that way and I don't want women or fem aligned individuals to feel unwelcome in spaces I'm involved in either.
A remark like this makes me feel reluctant to continue the thread because it seems the whole topic has ruffled more feathers than I intended, I can't quite grasp if that "lmao" is supposed to be to lighten the tone of the message or be sardonic?
