June is Pride Month! Do you feel you’re on this scale? Or more of a mix of different ones?

    They haven’t identified as non-binary, but they have explicitly identified as a cis man and as not trans … I don’t see what further discussion is necessary here or why you are raising this issue about another user.

    (As an aside, it’s not uncommon for cis men to not think much about their gender or feel indifferent towards it, especially in a society that treats being a cis man as a kind of human default and anyone else is “Other”.)

    Regardless, the trans inclusive policy is meant to allow trans people to self-determine whether they feel they belong in a women-only community, and this isn’t applicable in a case where someone explicitly identifies as a cis man.

      Where is that explicit identification? I’ve seen them identify as trans/non-binary in other spaces before. Their hexbear alt specifically has they/them pronouns cited: https://hexbear.net/u/sharkfucker420

      why you are raising this issue about another user

      Because I care about this space, on Blahaj of all places, being trans/non-binary inclusive?

      Edit: Also if they’ve said they aren’t trans, many non-binary people don’t consider themselves as such.

            Hey Princess thanks for raising this. I agree with Foxglove’s actions, and also that it’s not appropriate to discuss a members gender identity in public. Moderator decisions are final thanks for understanding 😊

              I’m completely happy with this explanation, but as well I would hope that moderator decisions can be questioned? Because if not, there’s no accountability for the people that run these spaces, that smells an awful lot like Moss trying to take 196 to lemmy.world and I don’t think I’d want to participate here any longer… I have a lot of respect for you and love seeing your posts around, so I really hope that’s not the case!

              Edit: To prove the genuineness of my statement, this is the vote tally I have for you in Voyager:
