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

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.
