Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Do I strike you as a person that would do that?
I can i imagine it happening commonly in the instance you picked as your base, though.
That's the problem, you can imagine lots of things with no basis in reality. I've been explicitly misgendered by one other .worlder n this exact thread, explicitly as retaliation. Never run into that on ml- credit the mods for removing that, and then it's weird to be getting told it's happening from my domain right after that
Like to be clear - I have issues with the admins on ml, if I'm recommending trans people I know to make accounts it's not going to be my first recommendation, but it's also not going to be any of the other lemmies either. This kind of behavior is just too rampant and poorly controlled
Wait, so it happened once and you jump to my throat as if it happens all the time on here?
I mean, even one time is obviously too often, but assuming I would do it deliberately when it only happened one time before is a bit unfair, don't you think?
Especially when you argue that I shouldn't imagine ml, an instance I watch every time I'm here.
I hear made up stuff from worlders all the time, this feels like the latest instance. I can point to two instances of me getting misgendered in a single .world thread, and you're like 'I see it all the time from .ml'
