continued Thatfucker discussion

[anonniemouse]

Since we've been kicked off FFA for the week, please feel free to continue the anon discussion here. Apologies if this is a big flop - I've never made a DW community before!

The rules are vaguely the same as they are over on FFA. Please refrain from being too much of an asshole, making personal attacks, posting identifying information or engaging in transfail.

ETA: If there's information you'd like to see archived (journal/blog posts related to Andy, etc.), please dump it here and link to it from the main post for discussing.

Coming from a similar view point (trans person with a trans friend constantly policing whether or not I was 'really trans') I totally agree. Using Andy's past terms of self-identification get us nowhere, other than derailment. He's a lying liar who lies but going back to this old fight of whether or not he previously referred to himself as a lesbian isn't helpful and can be upsetting to other trans people who already get their identity questioned daily because they may have identified one way or another before coming out.

This sort of stuff is going to go in the new post in the future, I think, so people can avoid it if they want.

Yep! Founder Mod (who is in another time zone and should be around soon) will make the official announcement regarding our decision this evening.

It was a lot more than that:

Posting the link is cool, obviously, but just a heads up that I'm watching this subthread and don't want to see it turn into back-and-forth argument in this post about which nonnie is subjectively the most wrong; the possibility of that kind of you/noyou/noYOU devolution is exactly why the thread was frozen initially.

We'll be addressing this shortly, so if this is a discussion you'd like to have, just wait a bit please!

For sure. Will say no more about it.
