This community is housed on an instance run by two trans women, focused on the needs of the queer and gender diverse community.

We allowed 196 here because we were promised the community is queer and trans inclusive.

If you're here it's because you're aggressively supportive of trans folk. Not middle of the ground, not "just asking questions".

If your response to that is, "yes, but..." then this isn't the instance for you, and by extension, this isn't the community for you.

tl;dr - Unambiguous support and inclusion, or fuck off somewhere else.

Edit - I changed the phrase "aggressive support to "unambiguous support", as there was some confusion over the intent behind my previous phrasing.

Yeah I don't know any trans people irl so everything I know about them is from 196. I was in no way anti-trans before I started lurking. I would have considered myself the "middle ground" because of my unfamiliarity with it, not because I wasn't sure if they should or should not have rights. I really think this whole post needs to be rephrased because it would have turned me away back then.
