MODERATORS
 

Two hours ago I made a post to !libertyhub@lemmy.blahaj.zone about US politics. I had previously had a good relationship with the head moderator of this community. They've encouraged My political posts, and he's removed comments by people that misgendered Me, and reminded people of My pronouns, like in this thread two days ago:

However, an hour ago in this new thread, the same moderator who was telling people to respect My capitalised pronouns uses lowercase pronouns to address Me:

And he has left up earlier comments which also seemed to misgender Me, and which I specifically pointed out:

Even as some users in the thread gender Me correctly:

I'm making this thread in the main community because since the mod has banned Me, I can no longer report the comment or leave a reply correcting the pronoun. I would like to gain the attention of @ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone

Misgendering trans people and banning Them at the same time so They can't do anything about it is not the kind of thing I expect to see on Blahaj. This mod is clearly 100% aware of My pronouns, and made a choice here. I suppose they could be using the general "you", but it just doesn't look like that, what with banning Me, telling Me My post isn't welcome, and telling Me to go to a different community. I used to have a good rapport with this mod, they said several times that they valued My posts. I posted something he disagrees with, and now all of a sudden respecting trans people's pronouns isn't a priority anymore. He's misgendering Me and they're leaving up comments that also misgender Me. It feels targeted.

EDIT: I cannot seem to embed images. Every time I hit edit and fix the image links and press save, they change to some kind of aussie.zone image proxy link. For now I have left them as links without embedding them.

That thread was removed by a community mod and I can't find any examples of deliberate misgendering in remaining posts.

I will action deliberate misgendering, but in this case, the posts have already been removed.

Sorry. I woke up to a lot of pings. Here is where I misgendered OP. I've fixed it now, but I accidentally used a lowercase Y on "You." I'm aware OP uses capitalized pronouns. It wasn't intentional, but I still feel terrible about it, and I'll accept any consequences for doing so.

I just removed the other comment with misgendering, and you'll see it now in the modlog. I did not initially remove it because the post itself had been removed at that point, but in hindsight this was not the right call.

For the record, I've always been quite outspoken against any form of genocide, including that against queer people, and I say that as a member of the queer community.

I'll accept whatever call you want to make. I feel terrible that OP feels hurt. I've always tried to be supportive of Them, and to be honest I quite enjoy having Them in the community.

@LinkOpensChest_wav@lemmy.blahaj.zone's post doesn't show up in the modlog as removed for being transphobic. It wasn't technically removed. I can see it on his profile from lemmy.ca and from Blahaj zone. You can remove it for misgendering if you click on his profile. And you should, so there's a record of the fact that he's a transphobe who only believes in trans inclusion for his merry band of suicide cultists.

Can you link me to the post on blahaj.zone please?

I don't expect you can remove it by clicking on it as the post it's in reply to is removed. You'd have to either do a direct API call or just access the comment from his profile. Or maybe you could restore the post to make the comment visible, remove the comment, and then remove the post back out again.
