all I get from the link you posted is "Por uzi la retan aplikaĵon de Mastodon, bonvolu ebligi JavaScript. Alimaniere, provu unu el la operaciumaj aplikaĵoj por Mastodon por via platformo."
that's Mastodon's way of saying, in Esperanto, that I'm not welcome to read that unless I allow it to run arbitrary code under its control (i.e., nonfree for me) on my own computer, which I refuse to do.
GNU social doesn't impose that oppressive requirement, that's the main reason why I prefer it over others. that means I can't generally see posts that haven't made to the server I use, besides my not being able to even read everything that does
I don't feel that I owe rysiek an apology, BTW. I stand by my assessment that trying to drive someone into some sort of contradiction is neither kind nor cool, even if the goal is to expose a transphobe.
indeed, reinforcing the notion that someone's preferred bathroom bears any relationship with someone's genitalia, genome, or sports category sounds offensive to me. a person's gender identity and expression are whatever the person chooses them to be.
a lot of hatred (and, as a response, rigidity) arises out of reinforcing such disparate overlaps.
as long as people aren't hurting anyone else, I say let them be what they wish. and if anyone feels hurt by someone else's gender expression, I say it's the people who feel that hurt are hurting themselves, and blaming it on others.
