Behold the power of the XY -- in all its flavors. Even LGBdroptheT can afford to walk on eggshells around "TIM" and "TIF" . . . slog through enough first-person misogyny and you learn damned quick that eggshells are for crushing, they'll stalk and ban you whether you tiptoe or no.

Got banned for using the word "TIM", which I didn't even really know was a slur (although I guess trans identified male doesn't sufficiently acknowledge TWAW). I refuse to participate in the saidit reincarnation, as far as I'm concerned the LGB "community" is part of the problem.

What does TIM and TIF means ?

[–]IridescentAnaconda 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

trans identified male and trans identified female, as I understand it.

Why would that be banned ?

You tell me. But the saidit reincarnation also forbids TIM and TIF. From the sidebar rules:

Racism, homophobia, slurs, and otherwise derogatory comments are not allowed. These include, but are not limited to: faggot, feminazi, gaping wound, butchery/mutilation, TERF, TIM/TIF, tranny, trap, troon.

My guess it does not conform to the ideology that TWAW, i.e. it's "misgendering" transgender individuals. Since the language is still in existence in the saidit version of LGBDroptheT, I am assuming that they are still bending to the ideology. In social discourse I would never be so impolite as to misgender someone, but all the politeness in the world does not change the fact of biological sex.
