Hello, Im kind of new here and trying to get used to Lemmy and I was wondering about if this is true since I am considering donating on this site to support alternative projects but wanted to hear other users before doing so. That being said, what have been your experiences?

    Trans people are like witches that hand out curses that cause harm? I think your skepticism alarm should be going off.

    When I said that - some person told me that they actually work - I didn’t mean to say that I believed that part.

    Although I understand that I didn’t mention that multiple times in capital words (because I didn’t feel the need to), just because some of the poor trans people banded with some poor eunuchs to make a cult, of which I have a bad impression, that doesn’t mean, I have said impression for trans people all over the world.
    I was mostly just giving a list of past events, and they most definitely don’t tell my current thoughts, which I feel, the last 2 paragraphs should have explained well enough.


    I have once even gone pretty far into explaining how important I consider, not to have prejudice, which even got quite a bit of backlash and a ban from a community. So I am not going to put the effort into reiterating it over here.

    But of course, anyone may feel free to label me as anti-trans or whatever anyone may feel like and I may feel free to consider them an unreasonable person.

    Yeah, but on my instance, anything you post automatically has a +1 from yourself, which you must have removed.

    I didn’t downvote my post, I just un-upvoted it. It is possible to downvote it and that would give me a -1 from myself.

        I started that mainly because it felt weird that a comment I wrote, had a blue up, when I didn’t do it.
        Now I consider upvoting something as a way to emphasise the post/comment and not upvoting all my comments makes me show a point when I do upvote something that I wrote.
        It is really just for myself though, as a single upvote doesn’t really matter and others are not really seeing if I am the one that has upvoted it. You can call it a compulsion, I suppose.
