    Uhhhhh care to elaborate? Because that statement could be seen as defamatory

      It is defamatory, I don’t want a transphobe to be famous. Stamets called me a troll for identifying as nonbinary. We had a conversation about an asexual nonbinary character in Star Trek who gets surgically and socially conditioned into a heterosexual woman. I said maybe that’s a better nonbinary horror story than a transfemme liberation story. Stamets, a cis guy, insisted that his interpretation is the only correct one because nobody really identifies like this character, and the fact I say I’m nonbinary like this character makes me a troll.

        Staments is generally very attacky, he plays childish games with people who disagree with him. But people defend him/he gets a pass because of all the memes he reposts from other sources.

        His behaviour (and also the fact there is no new star trek at the moment) has me hardly using my account on startrek.website

          My impressions of him align with yours perfectly, and I’d love to have more evidence of his poor behaviour to present in situations like this. Can you tell me more?

            I mean its just bickering about startrek here - but when you go to a specific instance to talk about star trek and he plays edit games to belittle people it sort of takes the fun out it. It’s nothing as serious as gender/identity etc
