A recent journal on InkBunny had some rather interesting comments from the site owner. His comments included a statement that one's genitals/genetics are the objectively correct basis for determining what pronouns to use for somebody. The most respect he's willing to show for someone's pronouns is to avoid addressing them by pronouns. As you might expect, he continued digging that hole further into the comments, including a minimally paraphrased quote from Donald Trump.
Even if you find the site objectionable for hosting content that is AI generated or that wouldn't be legal to host in the US or France, this still seems like a heck of an escalation. It is contradictory to champion freedom of artistic expression, which is stated to be a core principle of the site, and then disrespect the gender expression of others. It certainly makes me question if I, a transfemme author who uses writing to process things I experienced as a teenager, am welcome to continue existing on the site.
Edit: Here it is on the Internet Archive, as the page appeared at the time of my post, if you'd prefer not to visit InkBunny itself or fear something is being edited or taken out of context.
