eehhhhh i get what youre saying but this, but people make similar statements regarding other things that make them uncomfortable. ive seen people request that ppl not use small text/bright colors when talking w/ them because they have eyestrain problems, or stating certain phobias im advance to avoid stuff like trypophobia, thalassophobia, etc etc in skins or art. being "preemptively defensive" about those things is fairly standard if you know they cause distress when directed at you.

i dont really know enough about this persons Deal to make a solid decision on if theyre a terf or not but it feels like theres a lot of extrapolation/assumption happening here. and yeah its an anon comm, this place is for shittalking, yadda yadda but i can understand why someone would make that kinda statement without being a terf/transphobe/etc. feels kinda weirdchamp to make big accusations with minimal context

ayrt i'm not making accusations. i'm just saying it gives me terf vibes. it's certainly very possible they're not a terf but the q-slur thing is a terf dogwhistle and it's worth noting that. i've seen "lesbian, not queer" used as a terf t-shirt slogan.
