When some users’ sexual identities are as dragons, “dragons aren’t real” is a lot like “all lives matter”: on the surface, a statement of fact so obvious and controversial that it doesn’t bear saying, except for the subtext, which is an attack.
Not gonna join the war, but I heard some other comment compare saying you sexually identify as dragon is akin to saying you sexually identify as an attack helicopter, originally intended as a mockery to lgbt group.
Except one is a well known transphobic line and the other is someone genuinely trying to be identified as such. If drag was laughing about it outside blahaj I would question it but that’s not something I’ve seen. Just good faith attempts to get people to use the right pronouns.
Wakanda is not a made-up country in the same sense that ‘all countries are made up.’ Despite what the internet might tell you: women are real. Godzilla is not.
And if someone has globally unique labels that only refer to them, that’s not what a fucking pronoun is. That’s just… a noun.

But dragons aren’t real.

Neither is the social construct of men and women.
