The transphobia stops now (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

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.

Genuinely thank you. This community just existing as it does has already helped me a fucking weird amount.

I'll be honest I think alienating people feeling in the middle is a bad idea, making an echo chainber is ehat those other websites are for, and people on the middle ground are the ones whose beliefs matter the most as they they are the only ones that will change things.

But muh discussion with both sides! 🤨🤔 That's not very tolerant of you, guess we know whose the real baguette now. 😤

Personally, I don't think about other people's sexuality all that much, so I guess that makes me a non-aggressive supporter.

It's weird to impose this type of stuff, but I respect that this is your little space on the internet, so I'm leaving, as you asked. Thank you for the smiles and laughs.

I used to be on the original 196 two years ago, cause it really was 99% supportive. But it has simply devolved into fetishization over time.

You have my utmost support even though I am not even on your instance. Just saw it in the federated feed :p Stay strong LGBTQ+ 💪💪💪

I get the sentiment but damn are the trans memes painfully unfunny. Y'all gotta get better at making memes or this instance is gonna remain mid.

Trans rights!

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Basically, if you're not in their bubble of bullies they'll bully you out of the instance and you don't even need to be offensive for that.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

^ does not have context, doesn't care, only wants to be mad

Congrats.

(If you do have context, that's even worse lmao a good amount of the comments were pretty clear-cut)

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

I’ll aggressively guzzle to that

[–] tsz 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah I have no problem with you being trans, I do have a problem with this goofiness. Good luck, friends.
