Ugh. I guess there goes my chances.
Nah, just go trans and you’re back in the game.
you are interpreting the downvotes entirely incorrectly, just stop.
Putting on a dress isn’t “going trans”. Your flippant attitude is why you’re getting downvotes.
Lol man, some people here can’t take a joke.
Or maybe, just hear me out, they didn’t like the joke. Imagine that for a second. A joke was made and everyone gave their opinion on the joke.
I realize they didn’t like it. That much is obvious. It was a really benign joke though and a lot of people are getting bent out of shape over it. Hence “can’t take a joke”.
The trans community can be very tetchy about even the slightest joke because they have been the butt of some really awful and offensive ridicule. But honestly, being mad about this joke is silly because it’s not some punching down ridicule, it’s including them in as a positive option for fictitious “ways to hook up with chloe”.
So yeah, be mad or offended over something that obviously had no ill will. It’s your right to feel how you feel. But I also get the right to have my opinion that you are being overly sensitive about something that was a lighthearted joke. Welcome to the internet where everyone has an opinion, they all suck, and the points don’t matter.
Kinda sad really, the trans acquaintance I hang out with thought it was funny. Looks like too many people taking themselves too seriously.
Yeah definitely. The mods here are really hyper sensitive about it too. They actually deleted my other comment and said I was defending transphobic commentary. I disagree but w/e. Little bit of ‘power’ and it all goes to their heads with no discussion.
Seems, for the most part, only the most sensitive of bitchy redditors are trying to make Lemmy their new home.
I’m inclined to agree. I’ve had i think 3 mostly innocuous comments now removed here. I think I had that many removed over the course of many years at reddit. Way more sensitive and suppressive here.
Disrespectful as fuck

Hey man… Never lose hope. Statistically speaking you only have a slightly lower chance to achieve this Hollywood celebrity romance
Wooo! Here comes my chances!
Every closet door closed is a closet door opened for someone else.
So…by her coming out as gay, she she’s…forcing someone else to say they’re not gay anymore??
I’d let her force me into the closet
Yes, to keep the gayquilibrium in balance.
I’ve always maintained that if it wasn’t me, she should be with Strawberry.
