    I give Ada a lot of credit. In the early days, I had the following interaction:

    TOPIC: Something about sexual/gender preferences, I don’t remember, asking people their preferences

    Me: responds with my preferences (I’m straight cis male, I like women so I’m down with post-transition trans women but pre-transition don’t turn me on)

    Some random user: respectfully asks if I would be willing to date a pre-transition trans man

    Me: I guess, but it probably wouldn’t work due to the fact that what I like about their body, they hate

    Some of those professionally offended people took a misleading screenshot of my response and started screaming about “chasers”.

    Ada did an admin post to the community backing me up and calling those idiots out.

    So unless she’s changed a lot, I don’t think she’s a troll. It would have been easy to go with the mob but she stuck up for me.

      Still could be TERFS.

      I don’t have any deeper knowledge of that instance, just what I saw in all, so I don’t want to put anything on them. That thought just came across reading your comment.

      I have made a mental remark in the past that the posts and users on this instance are better treated from afar, though.

        It’s pretty harsh to just casually suggest that a person be a TERF without any specific evidence.
