"Time and time again, the concerns of trans era have been secondary to the concerns of the gaming populace at large." "And the reality is that I feel unsafe and unwelcome here."
Well, that's mostly because the "concerns of trans era"
are secondary to the "concerns of the gaming populace at large." Your personal struggles are not the world's problem, nor the gaming community's. The games I play run just fine no matter how much misgendering you suffer (and I still love my web browser for saying "misgendering" is not a word ... sanity prevails again!).
This attitude by self-selected victim groups has always driven me nuts. The world is not required to accommodate everyone. In fact, it's not really even required to accommodate
anyone when you get right down to it -- we just tend to set things up for normal people (the overwhelming majority) to reduce friction and things work "well enough." We construct buildings, sidewalks, subways, vehicles, etc., to specific standards, designed for adult human beings with average builds. We don't really
have to, but it works better when we do -- most people can easily fit through the doors and hallways and it makes lots of people feel safe knowing that our buildings don't typically fall over since we build them to spec. But we make no guarantees about whether 600 pound blimps can make it through the doorways or whether the building will withstand having an airplane flown into it. If you're 600 pounds or an aviation enthusiast who needs to safely park your airliner 60 stories up, the average building is probably not going to accommodate you.
The only real "real world" concession we've chosen to impose on ourselves willingly is adopting additional standards to ensure physically disabled people can access those constructions -- ramps, self-powered doors, elevators, braille signs, etc. But accommodating absolutely
everybody is impractical at best and straight up impossible at worst. Just think of the gender trenders. How many different genders have they come up with now? 50 or so? Does that mean we're supposed to have 50 separate fucking bathrooms in every corner gas station, or even in a big office building? That's impossible for small buildings and an absurd waste of space, plumbing and cleaning staff's time for a big office building. Imagine the long-ass hallway everybody would have to walk to get to their "special" bathroom. Imagine how much each different genderfluid would complain because their special bathroom is too far down the hallway.
We're not really entitled to unlimited accommodation by anyone. We're not entitled to feel safe or feel welcome everywhere we go either. If I decided to roll my lily white ass to, say, Chicago's south side, I would absolutely not feel safe or welcome and all the fine, kind, not at all law-breaking people I would quickly meet to discuss the contents of my wallet would laugh their asses off if I dared to suggest I was entitled to feel safe and welcome and they were ruining my experience. They'd probably shoot me for good measure, too. Every living person on this planet would mock me and call me a fucking idiot for doing something so stupid. The solution to me not feeling safe and welcome in south-side Chicago is to
not go there.
Same as this tranny. If he feels "unsafe and unwelcome" on Reeeeee, he can just close the tab, and all is well. It's not hard.
