I would be real disappointed if that was true
Also, why are pronouns bad when we do it?

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

and also a common dogwhistle by alt right types. its the old maxim. if you're poor and socialist, that makes you jealous. if you're rich and socialist, that makes you a bleeding heart moonperson.
they are trying to dunk on us for our 0 tolerance policy for transphobia and our strong pro lgbt+ stance. which is bad enough for them because they are supposed to be in favor of such things. yet the liberals betray their own bad faith by tarnishing the community all at once. they can't just settle for mental gymnastics, they gotta go even beyond and accuse us of being fake gay people as well.
Libs have a worrying tendency to drop all pretenses of pro-lgbt sentiment if said lgbt-person does not show sufficient gratitude to the lib, by acknowledging the liberal's Good Opinion(tm). Prior to the Musk-ification of Twitter, you could see the same thing in action whenever a trans person critized the Democratic Party by pointing to said party's numerous failures on policy relating to anyone who isn't a white suburban nuclear family in either California or the Midwest.
