:pdx_elk:@anarchopunk_girl I guess to put it another way, I'm not at all afraid of Ro. If it was just him yelling at me for saying something I'd be able to deal with it fine. I can disagree with him and move on in those cases. At worst, he maybe hurt my feelings once.
The group in the periphery (who again are mostly white queers) who turn up punitive consequences for people who bring up a criticism, then harass and pile-on to anyone who steps out of line do actually scare me and have caused me harm.
The unconscious transmisogyny shows up across all parties (hell I have internalized transmisogyny I have to check regularly), and I don't think there's much to particularly aim at Ro other than his unique responsibilities of the technical aspects of thebadspace.
