Based.
Thank you for creating a safe space. I'm an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and am happy there's a space not for "everyone", but for those willing to accept trans folk and silence those against them (while having funny posts on it as well).
I'm here because 196 shows up on my feed and I really enjoy the memes.
I also have absolutely no problem with trans individuals or really any lifestyle anyone wants to live that isn't hurting anyone else.
That said, was there an incident recently on here that spurred the creation of this post? Did something go down?
Edit: Changed "bothering" to "hurting" because I frankly don't give a fuck about the feelings of the type of people that are "bothered" by LGBT+.
Someone made a comment saying that they'd be down to fuck a trans man if they hadn't transitioned yet because he likes women. It was controversial, but then one of the mods here decided to post a screenshot of that comment on the main, and the people in the comments were fucking horrendous. It's all "I'm an ally, but..." statements. Some of them were fine, but even the best ones were just people taking the opportunity to say that they don't wanna fuck trans people. And that's fine, you don't have to be attracted to trans people at all, but a trans safe space isn't the spot for that discussion at all.
The mod shouldn't have posted what's essentially bait, nor should they have not actually moderated the thread after posting the bait. I'm pretty sure the instance admin ended up having to handle it. The guy who made the original comment is saying it was him, but that's not really what matters. This controversy was more about properly moderating the space than anything.

Heck yeah! Fuck Transphobia!
Remember; not supporting trans rights means you're on the same side as those using laws and judges to strip women of their autonomy around the world. <3

I loved the original 196 and how supportive it was for LGBTQ+ people. Also because it was hilarious. Keep rockin
Thank God. THAT post earlier was shocking me.
Trans rights!
I'm more of a casual user so I haven't seen the transphobia here but fuck transphobes and you should all have a place to feel safe.
TRANS RIGHTS!!! 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
Trans rights! Y'all deserve aggressive support!
Damn straight. Us queers need to stand together and there can be no god damn LGBTQ+ without the flippin T.

Oh cool, I was getting kind of uncomfortable with how things were going, this sounds just right.
TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS
Just wondering what does 196 means anyway? Clueless lemmy user here.
Ps I'm ally of LGBTQ2S+.
196 was a shitposting subreddit back on, uh, Reddit, which had one rule - you had to post before you left.
It became known as a very trans-friendly shitposting subreddit and honestly probably one of the better shitposting subreddits in general.
Now it's migrated at least partially to the Fediverse.

You have my full support.
As a.. whatever the hell I am.. I support everyone to be who they want to be. No exceptions.
Trans rights are human rights. Trans people's existence doesn't get to be dictated on other's whims, or have their validity be aproved by other's checklists. Trans people get to live and be respected. Dismissing someone's right to live that literally is just trying to exist peacfully just because you don't feel like treating them as a human being says everything. I want to have trans people feel safe in their environments,whichever that is (online or irl), and we can't achieve that unless we're vocal, straightfoward and fierce in our activism for trans rights. Because trans rights are human rights. Thank you for being here and being a part of this community.

As far as I know the original subreddit this com came from was very trans, to the point where I, as a cis straight ally, was nervous that I was somehow not supposed to be in it. And I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one.
So I'm witchu
I must have good filters or something, because I don't think I've noticed any TP / TERFing in here. Sad.
(of course i follow from a mastodon account so i probably miss a lot of stuff)
