Comment on Is there a formalized ban appeal process for the fediverse? Do I just direct message a mod?

That is precisely what I’ve done. Just because youre unfamiliar with the rhetoric doesnt mean trans folks aren’t, since they’ve seen these same lines of comments again and again and again…. And again, and again, and again.
For you to say I’m applying bad faith here just tells me you aren’t actually reading my comments.

You should judge people by what they say without an assumption of 'what they really mean' unless there is more context from them, because they might be oblivious of some other context as well.
Not everyone can keep up with all the dumb shit that transphobes use to imply trans women are not women.

Yoi realize they kept expanding on the comment, right? And doubling down on it?
Well intentioned or not isnt really relevant. I’m not calling them a bad person, I pointed out the problem with what they said, and that the wording wasn’t relevant.
When it comes to the ban though, it wouldn’t matter anyway. They were in violation of both site-wide and community rules.
There is no other context that matters here. They could be trans and it still wouldn’t matter. The comment created an arbitrary (and altogether meaningless) distinction on how to define women, specifically separating trans women from women.
A rule violation on both counts.
So what exactly is your point here?

It looked like you weren't getting the point of what they were saying and was offering another way of saying it. Since your reply is clear that you disagree that context matters, you got the point but disagree.

Slight correction, I said no other context matters.
