Like a Magic 8 Ball, but all of the answers are "Turbo-Cancer."

I have huge jazz mixes and classical mixes that I tend to prefer for reading, but sometimes I go for lo-fi if it's late and I want my brain off.

They're just incompetent, and led by that Hitlerjugend looking motherfucker Spez.

Your house is your private property, this is not that.

Banning a problem from your bubble doesn't resolve the problem either, or hasn't the period from 2016 onward demonstrated that enough for your satisfaction?

Your rhetorical diversion betrays the fact that at least you understood my point.

Your office is a private, not public space.

Part of maturity is accepting that some things are beyond your control, such as the opinions and beliefs of others. You can work to change them, you can ignore them, but simply trying to make them go away is self-delusion. That sort of thing leads to the surprise you so often see on social media where people just can't believe that "backwards" ways of thinking still exist. They're surprised because they shut themselves away in echo chambers, and even while telling themselves that it won't happen, they lose sight of reality.

The internet is at its best when it connects us to the good, the bad and the ugly of the world, broadening our horizons. The internet is at its worst when we close ourselves off into warring tribes. To the title of the thread, transphobia is not actually going to stop now, you can't declare it away, you can just create a fantasy bubble in which you can play pretend.

Edit: tl;dr Are you going to turn your instance into a flyspeck safe space, or part of a broader community, which is going to include some people you despise?

Joining most of the people here in saying, "Huh, what community?" I'm not against trans people, and I despise bigots, but I'm not a part of your community either.

To be honest I don't care to be part of any federated community that defines itself by what it won't tolerate, grow up and use the block feature.
