How would you put into words what gender means to you apart from societal gender roles and expectations?

I know that it has significant meaning to me but I struggle putting it into words to explain it to other people (especially other dya cis people). So like a few years ago I was thinking about if I may be trans femme. I have since realised that no, actually I was just struggling with it for a while because I don't relate to the gender roles and expectations society puts on men. I now identify more strongly with being a man than ever before, and I love being a man in a gender-way. I just absolutely hate being a man in a "what role men have in society"-way.

Well, I just went to reply to someone's comment on mine and found that my comment no longer exists.

Why was it removed?

Could be because I reported it for being discriminating towards non-binary people because you negated their existence.

I'd like to humbly request you not do that. I like to see the comments of bigots, so I can vote them down and/or mock them.

But also, sometimes comments are misunderstood or have a good point among the bullshit. I feel like we should err on the side of leaving rather than censoring.

It's your post so it's your call, just giving my $0.02.

Mod log is public, you should always be able to check

Lemmy, just as censoring as Reddit if not even worse. Yay.

If you want an uncensored instance/community, then don't just whinge about it, set one up.

Then defederation will come
