Car Talk with Martok is off this week for Thanksgiving and because I have COVID and am embracing the sweet release of death. Come back from my break and a day later get fucked. Come on.

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans out there. Hope your day goes great and you get much of the food. Send some Mashed Potatoes and Gravy my way. I’d kill for some right now.

    Sorry if I came off as confrontational, I didn’t mean to. I believe you’re doing with good intentions, I’m just aware that some folks think that it/its is degrading or enabling transphobes.

    I looked through its post history and I can’t tell if they’re being legit or trolling, though assuming it’s being legit, it seems some of its complaints have to do with xenogenders not being entirely accepted?

    Xenogender is one of those things I kinda get, but also don’t. I get not identifying with humanity, but xenogenders seem like furry/therian/voidpunk/whatever with extra steps and not really the right tool, if that makes sense. Like if someone’s using them is using a screwdriver to hammer a nail because they’ve either never seen a hammer, they don’t like hammers, or there’s a social stigma around using a hammer.

    In regards to Seven of Nine specifically, assuming it’s being legit (I didn’t see their original comments), it may be a case of it projecting its own wishes of being seen as a drone onto Seven of Nine.

      Yeah there’s a lot of missing context and unfortunately they nuked their account so I can’t see the posting history.

      You weren’t confrontational though. Don’t worry!
