Isn’t Stamets kinda transphobic though? I remember seeing that somewhere

BaroqueInMind@kbin.social 11 months ago@Stamets is pretty much the equivalent of Atlas holding up the earth, but it's this instance of memes.

The place you saw that was when you accused me of it last time and when you were posting transphobic dog whistle memes. There is a reason why your hexbear account was banned for this.

Is this about people using it/its pronouns, or something else? I know a couple people who use it/its, it/she, it/whatever, so I’m really hoping you aren’t upset about people identifying that way.
Stamets@startrek.website 11 months ago
No, of course not. If you want to identify using those pronouns then I’ll do my best to respect that and use them. Can’t say I might not fuck up occasionally and use the wrong one, but I make an active effort because I want everyone to feel welcome.
This person is using those pronouns to attack being trans as a whole. They were listing off a slew of comments that were attacking everyone in Starfleet for being ‘transphobic’ because no one would respect Seven of Nines wishes to be called a drone when she first was disconnected from the collective. Doesn’t matter that Seven chose her own pronouns. Doesn’t matter that Seven was literally brainwashed and mindcontrolled into having no identity anymore.
When the mods (I can’t remember who it was) pushed back on that take, this transphobe got really aggressive.
I respect people who use different pronouns with it/its. I just don’t respect that person who uses those pronouns.

Please, try to have some empathy for those that are different from you. You’ve been following this person for months while they talk about their gender, and your conclusion is that it’s some joke, or dog whistle? Just accept that not everyone is going to have a common gender and move on.
Stamets@startrek.website 11 months ago
You’ve been following this person for months while they talk about their gender
No. I haven’t. They were banned from this community 3 months ago and I forgot they exist until they commented above. I would like examples of me “following this person”. I am also not a moderator nor an admin. I had no hand in their banning.
However the blatant double account here is pretty intense. You created your account 42 minutes ago just to make this comment? Sure.

The mission of Starfleet is to seek out new life with curiosity and enthusiasm. You found someone with a gender that you didn’t understand, and instead of approaching it with curiosity and enthusiasm, you declared that xenogenders are transphobic.
To quote Picard in The Measure of a Man: Starfleet was founded to seek out new life; well, there it sits! - Waiting.
I have never posted a transphobic thing in my life. You simply think that the existence of xenogenders is transphobic.
Stamets@startrek.website 11 months ago
I’m not engaging with a transphobe. Goodbye.
TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 11 months ago
No the existence of “xenogenders” is an absolute delusion

Attractive is pushing it. Did you know that all mirrors are sentient? That’s my theory anyway. They keep screaming in horror everytime my reflection hits one of them.

I’ve always heard “sister from another mister.”
Stamets@startrek.website 11 months ago
That… makes sense. Again. My brain is on fire. Forgive me lol

I’ve been posting from my archive of original content from years in Star Trek Shitposting. Eventually I’ll run out.
Stamets@startrek.website 11 months ago
We all will brother. I’m sure I’ve got a ton of your stuff saved in mine. I just hope I don’t step on your toes.
FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Meh, if one of mine shows up without me I’ll take it as a mark of its quality.
ummthatguy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Appreciate the callout. You, and apparently everyone else, get well soon.
Stamets@startrek.website 11 months ago
But of course good Sir. Your memes slap.
Also I’ma try. No promises <3

Slowly catching up on Lemmy a little in between holiday weekend stuff and just now seeing this.
Hope you feel better soon!
Spot@startrek.website 11 months ago
Just got back from my family gig and saw this. Sure hope you get to feeling better soon. It seems a rough holiday is going around this year. We lost my cousin who was doing the hosting last week and it made for a somber get together. I have other friends and extended family who are dealing with difficulties too.
I dearly hope everyone had a chance to enjoy themselves at some point and hopefully see or speak to some dear friends and family this year. The love and support of my friends/fam help me through some low times, even though I don’t have many physically close to me.
Yours, and all the others you mentioned (and forgot), help me break from the bleak realities I need to disengage from, to re-energize a bit. There are some fantastic conversations I read over, sometimes pop into if I feel I can actually add anything to the conversation. My humor is hit or miss at home but, the shit here always hits right for me and makes me feel all warm and fuzzy while i piss down my leg laughing. And, curious glances after handing my phone over to see "What’s so funny?"Sometimes those distractions are exactly what I needed to be back on track and keep on trudging on.
Stamets@startrek.website 11 months ago
Thanks buddy. I’m sorry that your holiday wasn’t the joyous celebration it is supposed to be. The world really is slapping everyone around the side of the face lately and it’s not fair to anyone. You have my condolences, friend.
I’m glad that I, and others, are able to help you escape the monotony though. It is nice to have a place to come and see (mostly) everyone being silly and chilling out. You definitely help a lot with that vibe. <3 So gotta give yourself props for doing that same favor to others, man!

You deserve that praise-I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you’re a curator of the arts
