"you'll begin to see it once you get sucked into the lore"

Ignoring the stupidity of the overall argument and concept, if there is such a thing as a "lore" for the fediverse I feel like a somewhat important part of it is that like half of its developers are trans people.

Sure, that doesn't mean there won't be trolls over at "free speech extremist" instances, it just means that they can be easily silenced and marginalized. As was the intention from the start, invented in large part by the trans people who pioneered this.

To say the lore of the fediverse is transphobic is just so utterly fucked. If anything, the lore is trans. But who the hell even speaks of the lore of a protocol. I can't even.
