lol, right-wing playbook… dude, I’m anything but right-wing

You’re talking as if transgenderism and homosexuality (and their problems) emerged in the 19th century. That’s why I asked you about the other centuries?

Pederasty was a socially acceptable thing back in 600 b.c amongst the Etruscans, for example.

ok, then what about the 16th century, 5th, 2nd, 100 B.C, 200 B.C?

barest minimum of respect

what’s that even supposed to mean? If I talk to someone like I do with everyone else, without changing my tone/or opinion based on whatever race/religion/identity they go by, then I certainly am treating everyone with the same amount of respect.

We’ve lived for millennia now, and I don’t recall a single book where a person of the past was mentioned in addition with their pronoun, in the sense of “____ was a writer/artist/mathematician in the late 1800s who went by they/them”… etc.

We’re introducing unnecessary complications into an already complicated society we live in.

Regarding my account… I was previously on lemmy.world, (under the same username) but moved to programming.dev since world defederated from piracy@dbzer0, and I didn’t want to have multiple accounts.

So yeah, it’s new in that manner, but I’m surely not a troll.

Actually, I’d much prefer a FOSS alternative of Affinity Photo instead of Photoshop.
