Don't Stop Coal Now!

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real coal time
I feel alive
And the exchange I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in agony
So, (don't stop me now)
(Don't stop me)
'Cause I'm having a coal time, having a coal time~

I feel like this is trying to goad and start wank, because there is no context provided for the fandom or the work, but I'll bite:

I think girl!character refers to female!character and I would be unhappy to receive a trans interpretation of such a prompt. The experiences of a trans character and a female character would be different in most canons. I personally have a trans DNW which should also cover this.

Sorry, definitely not trying to start wank. I’m not super knowledgeable of the fandom—I’m just cruising the works to find stuff to comment on.

The work is here: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2021/works/35769355

The letter is here: https://teakettlelove.dreamwidth.org/936.html

Cis, the descriptor you're looking for is cis girl character. Using "female" to indicate cis woman reads real bioessentialist.

DC You sound bitter.

“dc” lol

NC

Yes, bitter about trans identities being invalidated and not accepted as whatever gender they identify as. A pretty good reason to be bitter, I think!

If you need everyone in the world to believe in something in order to validate it and get super upset when anyone disagrees based on various realities, maybe it's time to rethink things.

When are you going to start rethinking things?

When are you?

I already have, that's why I respect trans people

I've also rethought things and I've realised that if you claim to identify as male or female not on the basis of sex, you can only be basing it on sexist ideas of what men and women are like. That's why I no longer unthinkingly support gender identification.

Didn't we switch to a new coal so

coalcube can keep the transphobe from spamming coal?

lol this revisionist history. no, everyone left old coal bc

1) HQ was awol for multiple yuletide rounds
2) two people who stepped up to make new posts, coalcube and chock_coal_ate_bawks.

chock_coal_ate_bawks went mad with power and was screening/freezing a lot of things because coal was (and is again apparently) always really bad at ignoring these loser TERFs (obligatory plz kill urself, @ those losers) so HQ made it so that you could no longer create new posts unless you were her.

then she went AWOL again so CC stepped up and made a new community. they did an informal coal poll (the first?) and asked if coalies wanted them to freeze shit like transwank or super OTT trolling (see: my kill urself above) or spamming (bye, butt and rabbit weirdos). most people said no, they were good at ignoring the trolls/blocking threads, so CC agreed to leave it alone and not go down the C_C_A_B route.

normally this isn't a problem because, as you can see, most of coal knows this bitch is stupid and won't engage with her. some very earnest coalies feel a need to debunk to her, but just as with nazis, "debating" or even trying to ridicule this fucking loser only results in her having more opportunities to share her deranged manifesto. freezing doesn't work either, because you need mods to be on hyper alert because it'll make those loser, who clearly has no life, start trying to sneak their shit through.

let them sit there with shit all over their face like the big baby they are. after they get tired of same anoning or being met with silence, they will go back to their usual corner of the internet. FFA is just about the only meme with enough mods for a "freezing" policy to work and they still get trolled. a one coalie shop like CC would make it impossible, so it's our job to help by pretending that it's frozen and not replying.

LOL, so you're just going to ignore that we are currently living in many societies that literally kill people for not conforming to those sexist stereotype based on gender presentation. Instead you want to blame the fact of that reality's existence on the smallest least powerful group of people struggling not to have their rights or lives taken away because they are different.. oh but also now because some of them confirm too well? Oh no!

Wow, what an asshole.

It's not a bug with this bullshit that to 'protect' people against these sexist stereotypes, that you have reinforced and codified those same sexist stereotypes that you hate so much.

weak

"Cis" indicates a belief in the idea of gender identity, which is not universal. I want a character who is female, not a character who believes in or espouses sexist gender roles.

Have you actually ever gotten your chromosomes determined?

Intersex conditions have nothing to do with trans identities. Stop appropriating them.

why do you keep using the word female

Because when I say woman, you pretend this includes male people.

💕

Wow this person was told they could identify as anything and they decided to be a bigot.

Wouldn't be coal without the vile transphobia!
