I'm completely on olivemeister's side here. Rez, you are absolutely being transphobic by denying that a character who is clearly presented as trans in the narrative could be trans. That’s not name-calling, it’s a simple fact. Furthermore, when trans people are telling you that you are being transphobic, you should examine your actions to see why they think that. I’m not saying that every accusation of transphobia by a trans person is always true, but at the very least you should examine your actions. Olivemeister has been incredibly patient while explaining this to you, and has refuted all of your arguments. Meanwhile, you have been patronizing him and saying that he has been calling you names, when all that has been done is to say you are being transphobic, which is absolutely true. If anyone should be deleted from this thread, it should be you, Rez.

“You are being transphobic”, said to someone who is, in fact, being transphobic, is not an opinion, it is a statement of fact. Say someone came up to you out of nowhere and shoved you, causing you to fall, and then kicked you in the stomach. Then imagine you say “Ow! That hurt, you jerk!” If the person then said “Wow, I can’t believe this. You’re resorting to calling names. This is terrible, I never want to interact with you again, what disgusting behavior, where were you born? Is this normal for that area?” you would rightfully be angry.

You said that a trans character could not possibly be trans, gave reasons that were quickly refuted by olivemeister, and then got angry at being called transphobic. You said olivemeiester was forcing his opinion on you, when he was simply stating facts from canon showing Alluka to be trans, and noting that you were being transphobic. You called his calm arguments against your repeated points “flame”, and asked for it to be deleted. You asked that your original comment be left up, despite that it says “halfway up I got fed up with that trans-, ‘their’, and ‘correctness’ stuff”, which, yes, is transphobic.

I would argue against the points you have made, but olivemeister has already done that quite well, and you have refused to listen to him or his points. When you actually respond to the points he has made, rather than just repeating the same ones over and over, I'll respond. If any of this is unclear or needs to be rephrased, let me know, I’m just exhausted of people saying that Alluka isn’t a girl, or that she isn’t trans.
