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.
HELL YEAH 💖
“Not gay as in happy, but queer as in fuck you!”
TRANS RIGHTS
Trans rights!
Aggressive support given!
WHATS THAT SORRY I CANT HEAR YOU IM CRANKING THE HOG RIGHT NOW TRANSPHOBES GTFO (DISRESPECTFULLY) 🏳️⚧️
This is what the fediverse was created for. Casual transphobia doesn’t need to be permitted and I fully support that.
i am old and cis but trans shitposters are the best shitposters, this is indisputable. you have my support
And my axe! 🎸
Every single transphobe right 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.
trans is not a sexuality
There was transphobia in 196? HOW?
Most people seem to agree it wasn’t transphobia, but here’s the context: https://lemmy.world/post/1893561
There was some transphobia that came crawling out like usually happens when a trans topic starts getting active, but they got shut down pretty quickly

That is what prompted this post. It happens every single time trans stuff comes up. There is no space for it here.
To be clear, some of the comments you removed were from the person you are now replying to.
Yes, I’m aware. You can see the list here https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/modlog?page=1&userId=170858
They were removed, because a meme community on a trans run instance isn’t the place for a discussion on the specifics of why you don’t want to fuck trans people.
We hear that enough, every day, in every place we look online. We don’t need it here too.
Was the post transphobic? That depends on who you ask, but either way, what it wasn’t is “unambiguously supportive”
It’s also worth pointing out that those posts were not the trigger for this thread

I really wish more people got this
One of the mods made a post about how this comment being really creepy about trans men’s bodies somehow wasn’t transphobic and then deleted it after people started calling them out lol
The guy said he wasn’t into dicks and that it would be weird to like something about his partner that they would want gone and dislike. That’s not transphobic. It honestly bonkers that people find that to be transphobic.
Ohhhh you are that crazy person that loves to censor the shit out of anyone who dares speak out against your insanity
She doesn’t like to, she does it because queer people are constantly being attacked and berated and then when we get tired of the shit, people get surprised and go, “oh why are you being so defensive, you’re overly reactive”. And she isn’t insane, she’s proud, protective, and proactive with a very low tolerance for any indication of more bullshit.
Personally, I would discuss certain events more fully, try to educate and understand, but, for better or for worse, the person with responsibility for the instance and everybody in it decided less chances rather than more and doesn’t give a flying fuck what anybody thinks, and the more you press her, the more she’s gonna tyrant all over you, and, honestly, most of the users here have her back because she’s got ours.
Just… Be better to people, let others walk away from you if they want without YOU being a crazy person and being sensitive, reactive, and lashing out unnecessarily. You ever think about that perspective? You don’t have to say anything, just move along and leave us in peace. Maybe once everything cools down in the future, she’ll renegotiate and reanalyze and possibly consider reconnecting. Y’all can defed from us crazy folk if you want at that time. You’re free to walk away too.
Brother, that’s not how we talk to people. Everyone here is treated like people and respected for their personhood. This isn’t a theatre for bigoted nonsense - there’s other platforms available if you want to attack people and get that out of your system.
Show people respect or leave people alone - but don’t be like that.
I have a feeling that this has a lot of room for individual interpretation. I’m aware that the world out there is insanely hostile towards trans-people, it’s just that… asking things about the LGBTQ+ -communities consensus or what the thoughts on the scientific community are… feels kinda like a minefield tbh.
There aren’t many things that there is a consensus on. LGBTQ+ folk aren’t a monolith anymore than any other group is. As long as you ask from a place of respect you should be fine
