    One time, drag’s friend accidentally left his fly open in public. Drag wanted to save him the embarassment of having it open, and drag knew exactly what to do to help him.

    So drag got up in front of everyone in the bar, shouted that the friend’s fly was open, and shared some dank memes making fun of him.

    Drag’s friend claims that nobody from that night respects him anymore and drag is a terrible friend, but that’s nonsense. He’s the one who left his fly open, drag was just helping him avoid embarrassment.

      If Drag’s buddy spent 4 years telling drag “Zip up your fly, or you’re going to be thrown out”, and instead drag shows Drag’s genitals to everyone at the bar, it’s not Drag’s buddy’s fault. Nor is it the fault of everyone else at the bar for being repelled.

      If Drag thinks everyone would have been OK with Drag flashing non-consenting people, and that Drag’s buddy simply convinced everyone this was repellent behavior, that’s even more reason to listen to Drag’s buddy.

        Bad! It’s bad of you to sexualise trans enbies! Sexually harassing your opponent is not an argument!

        Drag doesn’t use he/him. You don’t have to misgender trans fembys and accuse them of having penises in order to make your political point.

            Drag talking about someone else who uses he/him pronouns is not a good reason to he/him drag. And it is NEVER okay to sexualise and talk about the supposed genitals of random strangers you just met.

              Drag talking about someone else who uses he/him pronouns

              That’s not what Drag wrote, Drag’s story is about people at the bar losing respect for Drag because they noticed Drag’s genitals were exposed. At the end it references the person who lost respect at the bar as “he/him”. It wouldn’t make sense if Drag’s friend was referencing himself because drag’s friend didn’t lose respect.

              Drag’s friend claims that nobody from that night respects him anymore and drag is a terrible friend, but that’s nonsense. He’s the one who left his fly open, drag was just helping him avoid embarrassment.

              Drag obviously didn’t mean to misgender Drag’s self and I didn’t know enough about Drag to know it was in error, now I do, lets not dwell on this.

                This is impressively bad reading comprehension. Drag is the one making fun of the person with their fly open. I can’t even hazard a guess as to how you mixed up the subjects like that

                I mean I can’t expect much from a .ml in the first place, but still

                    Don’t delete your comments please. If anything, edit appropriately. Your point stands, and the witch burning bandwagon is a serious inability to look within and take accountability.
