The transphobia stops now (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

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.

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.

I'm not part of that community either. I'm truly amazed at the number of indignant comments like yours, which demonstrate that you took the post as addressed to you. It obviously wasn't. It was explicitly addressed to posters on 196. I'd recommend being less self-centered, but if you disagree, I'm sure that community would be happy to see you go.

I see it as an effort to establish a mission statement and that they are only interested in conversations that further that mission. I don't see a problem and I also agree with you that there is no community for you there, but I don't see how maturity plays a part.

grow up and use the block feature.

I'm really sick of this talking point. If history hasn't demonstrated to you that ignoring a problem doesn't resolve the problem then you take ought to go back and read some more.

If you can't stand to be bothered by others trying to carve out consideration for your fellow humans then I'm glad this may be our only interaction.

Community is the term for a "sub" on Lemmy.
