This is weird but anyone find the pedophile accusation weird?

If I had to go to the doctor once a year so some stranger can inspect my penis while my dad watched, that would definitely effect me psychologically.

ResetEra is such a failure of a forum. They can never have reasonable discussion threads because inevitably someone breaks the purity test and it all collapses in on itself. Then the mod swoops in with the thread lock to prevent their protected users from tearing each other apart. They couldn't even set aside the fact that Joe Rogan talks to verboten people long enough to allow discussion of an interview about John fucking Carmack on their video game forum

This is my first time writing a confession. I know you all normally expect sexually titilating shit but this is a legitimate confession, as in, something I wish I could discuss on ERA but can't because I know I'll get banned. Anyway, with that being said, here's my story.

I'm a trans woman in my mid-20s. I have spent significant time and effort passing and socializing myself as a woman and I think I do a pretty good job of it. I fully realize that I shouldn't have to do this and that this is a result of society's gender roles. I also understand that I have privilege as a result of my ability to pass and that other trans people do not, and I recognize the validity of their pain.

With that being said: we need to talk about non-binary people. Or more specifically, this militant "anti-binary" strain of NBs that have popped up recently.

So this confession just showed up in the confessions thread. I figured it was relevant to the thread since it makes direct mention of Natalie and is about NB people as well.

Hey, like, I know this is the Contrapoints thread, but can you put a content warning or something when you link to some truscum asshole ranting about how my existence offends them?

This is horrifying. Why do things have to be this way?

This whole discourse is really opening my eyes to just how unapologetically shitty some binary trans people are. Non-binary trans people really need to be at the forefront of the trans rights movement, and those of us in binary need to give them all the support we can.

Oh look a truscum emboldened about their opinion because "Natalie believes what I do". Who could have possibly seen this coming. That was just fucking terrible

https://www.resetera.com/threads/era-anonymous-confessions-2019-v3-0-one-version-higher-than-the-giftbot.150087/post-26208679

So, we're just allowing people to use these confessions as a way to air bigoted views and crap on other minorities on the forum?

Great response, and I agree that this bigoted shit should not be given a, platform, even in this thread

[Don Rumata]

I read that whole confession and it seemed somewhat reasonable to me, even though i can see some of the issues (especially since "passing" isn't something available to all)but then you read the reactions, and i think; the world is still having trouble accepting the traditional idea of trans people (but to be honest, even just gay couples) and we're already at the step of throwing sub groups to the wolves?

Fuck that truscum bigot trying to be the arbiter of who is and isn't trans.

I haven't even read this whole response yet because I'm too irritated and this start hits the nail on the head.

Can we actually get a beat on why the mods are actively ignoring and sidestepping trans views and sentiment, and those of allies, in this place, because it's become incredibly apparent.

Every single fucking thread on trans issues is derailed from page 2 and the entire rest of the thread is perpetually locked into trans people having to defend their level of irritation to the rest of the forum. Every page, every thread. It's just taken as fact that this is how these play out now.

People telling trans people they're "too sensitive" are given a warning at best as they run in to dismiss concerns in the exact same way at page 9 as someone did on page 2. Being called robots, loners, people that hate fun, people looking to be upset, outrage, harrassers, abusers, people that want Natalie Wynn dead. All in the past week and a half and we're what? Supposed to break our backs every thread politely writing the same thing that we did the last page just so we can perhaps get back to the real discussion instead of validating our irritations to the rest of the forum so they're seen as acceptable or ok?

It's got to the point where even allies have stepped back and gone "uh what the fuck?" posting that it's got to the stage where something needs to be done:

Which is great, and you have mods come in and acknowledge that it's an issue. Except then when people ask for it to be stuck, to be given some prominence so this can actually start to be combatted, and they vanish off the face of the Earth.

People posting multiple posts and you suggest it through the report function and you get nothing in return. Mods just don't respond to the thread after the mention of a sticky or discussing how the problem could be remedied.

So you get trans people, like me now and many members before me, who just give up. Who cannot be fucked to have every single trans thread either be post the same arguments every page or be told to shut up. What is the fucking point?

I spent time writing paragraphs the last day and a half combatting it across two of the current threads. Changed the minds of three members and they apologise for effectively coming in and telling a thread to be quiet. The next page the same dismissals are there again.

As said before this is just taken as fact as how trans threads play out. One page of trans people discussing the concern and the next 10 being told to hush by cis people and then having to validate our own hurt to them in order for it to be deemed acceptable for the forum.

Then after all of that you come in here and some absolute fucking trash is being signal boosted, emboldening those same people that run into these threads, giving them more ammunition to push the same thing they've always done.

[benjipwns]

Mods are ghosts in half of the trans threads and do nothing to stop every single one of them derailing into trans people having to validate their hurt to the forum.
Allies create a thread concerned at this and mods post agreeing. It's asked to be stuck by various members so it's given prominence and the mods vanish.
Trash views like those in the threads in point one are signal boosted here giving further ammunition to the people in point one.
Ketkat, again, has to take the time to dismantle the argument (as some trans person has to do every page of every one of those threads) and make sure the accurate information is there so others aren't adopting truscum talking points verbatim
Ketkat appeals to why this is even being signal boosted.
Mods ignore and continue to post around her.

I think that's the emotionless succinct version Ramathevoice

I'm pretty sure I'm going to catch a slap soon because of the discontent I've been posting but it really needs to be addressed and that needs to be to the community. That thread on addressing trans concerns was the perfect stage to do so and they actively chose not to.

Then you have things like that signal boosted here, with people already doing the whole "oh I'm glad a trans person finally gave their views" routine now they've found someone to validate their views off of.

I was irritating going to bed but waking up to that, Ketkat having to once again do as we do and correct it for people browsing casually and her being ignored by the mods around her when asking why exactly this is being boosted.

[benjipwns]

[benjipwns]

Preach. I might have stepped past the smile-and-nod line with that post but it’s really the straw that broke the camels back. I posted last night how irritating it was getting writing reams, changing some minds and then having the clock reset the very next page while the ‘this is an issue’ thread barely stays afloat.

So you go to bed irritated by it and then wake up to see this. Ketkat having to do the same exact thing because some truscum bullshit is being signal boosted. Her actually appealing to why it’s there in the first place and the mods just posting nonchalantly around it, blanking it. Right after the threads we’ve had, after the sentiment that’s ripe at the moment.

Important thread. Mods and users need to be quicker on reporting and banning the trolls, bad faith actors, and coded bigots so that they don't get the attention of loads of quotes which even if critical, they're not going to take on board the facts and corrections. Like said above, cis folk listening to trans folk more is the basic level of respect that is deserved rather than strawmanning.

It would make tweaking and comparing so much easier if this baseline preset was included in multiplatform games.

For example, I am perfectly happy with how RDR2 looks on PS4 Pro details-wise, so I would be fine using my RTX2080Ti to simply power those exact settings, just with higher resolution and framerate. But since Rockstar does not provide this preset, nor any information whatsoever about what levels consoles run at, it is all just a guessing game and waiting for Digital Foundry to analyze everything the hard way.

It can't be that difficult to provide such a preset, can it?

[Lonewulfeus]

TransEra should make their own forum, it’s the only way they’ll ever be satisfied.  The complaint isn’t even that they aren’t getting what they want, it’s that it’s not happening immediately.

I bet TransEra has discords inside of discords, like a matryoshka doll of co-dependent mental illness and transbian polycules.

What's the point of becoming a non-binary transtrender if you can't push it on other people? You're only valid if other people say it.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/contrapoints-opulence.146668/post-26212190

It wasn't reported. I stumbled across it this morning after I woke up, and then it was removed. We've added it as a rule in the OP to make clear that those kinds of confessions aren't allowed. Thank you to everyone in this thread who has been taking the time to explain and raise all of these important issues.

Appreciate your response Mist, and please considering the overarching concerns because simply removing the straw that broke the camels back isn't going to get it back up and running again. Being honest, I'm tired and I'm frustrated and I'm far from the only one. As said in the confession thread the template for trans threads on the forum is one page of discussion and fourteen of having to validate that upset, and that seems to just be accepted now. Every page, every thread the same story. It's like Groundhog Day in them, except we don't even get a cute animal to aid in the frustration.

I dislike bemoaning the moderation because I like the moderators and some, including a certain unlucky giftbot gambler, are among the nicest people I've met on the forum. However you have to separate the individual mod from the overall moderation, and sometimes the latter can fall behind at times as it requires a perspective above that of the individual actions and occurences. That seems to have fallen out of step more and more in this area recently. That thread does a good job of highlighting it but honestly, you could go into any trans thread for the past few months and see it in action. It's like a bad magic trick. Pick a page and I bet you the post I'm describing is there.

So please excuse the venom in some of the posts, because it comes from a place of frustration and upset over ill-will. But in doing so please also consider the thread linked, the wider sentiment and see for yourself the absolute detritus we've have to almost self-moderate in each case.

[benjipwns]

So do we believe Mist that it wasn't reported? That they all threw a fit and didn't bother to report it? On a forum where the mods regularly lock threads simply to stop the reports (often from these same posters)?

A helpful user shared:

[NekoFever]

"Non-binary trans" is a new one on me. Like I get being transgender and that's cool. I understand that some people identify as non-binary. Non-binary trans, though? What are you transitioning to? Are you transitioning from a gender you don't identify with to another that you don't identify with? Are they trying to decouple the concept of actually transitioning somewhere from the state of being trans?

Is what I'm questioning here basically the root of the "truscum" schism? I don't know because every time I Google these stupid terms the definition contains more of them.

And are they really going to start pretending that Era isn't a progressive forum and that its moderators aren't on their side? Or are people there too accepting so they need to up the difficulty?

[SmokyDave]

Non-binary trans only makes sense to me if it's synonymous with genderfluid.

Regardless, I'm not surprised to see 'self-identification via twitter bio' trans identities are running into conflict with 'lived my life trying to pass in the real world with all the scorn and violence that brings' trans identities. It's oddly reminiscent of the schism between trans-inclusive feminists and TERFs.

If you think someone's identity is valid and/or they count as experiencing cissexism/transmisogyny only if they appease the cis majority (by avoiding, for example, expressions like "die cis scum") you are not fighting trans oppression.

Yeah, this mentality will do wonders for progress. Good luck with that.
