As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

I don't know where some cis people get off thinking transphobia is exclusively misgendering someone.

Also we had a mod posting transphobia what, like last week? Fuck we need purges

    Many cis ppl think transphobia is basically just being rude, masking it as "having concerns" or whatever passes under the radar for them. Same way lots of white ppl think racism is just yelling the n word

    Yea 100%, it's so common even in people who believe they support us. I saw someome (not here) the other day say they support trans people. But not trans women in sports, non passing trans women in bathrooms, trans women going to women's prison, and were not sure if trans youth should get healthcare. Fantastic.

    People definitely just think transphobia is outward hostility

    We do. TC69 thought must be upheld.

    On that post from that mod, he listened to us upon it being explained that it was transphobic and deleted the post. It sucks that we had to see and do that, but he's clearly trying and listening which is about all I can hope for from cis allies.

    I along with another trans person had to explain some transphobic beliefs that my irl bestie and closest ally had held. It's just so engrained in every part of society.

    Yes, i agree that it's prevalent and that sometimes the cissies need an explanation. The thing is, in the case of GlimmerTwin, he's been acting transphobic in the past, was openly dismissive when i tried to explain to him what the problem was and now he's at it again. Some people just do not want to learn.

    lol I had to check my user tags and sure as hell that’s one of the folks I’ve already got tagged as a transphobe lmao (independently, from my own observations in the past in case that wasn’t clear)

    Oh hey, that tag was for the thing that @SerialExperimentsGay@hexbear.net mentioned upthread. Neat. This is why I mainly stick to traa tbh.

    I've seen a few crypto transphobes pop off lately. On the one hand cringe but also on the other, I'm glad they're showing their faces so we can take action.

    Let me dm you to make sure we're talking about the same thing, and then I'll publicly clarify here.

    No action was taken against that mod. In this case he resolved it himself when asked to, and he also advised the mod team that the post in question was a repost originally by another user, and directed that information to that comm's mod team.

    When I found out about this, I didn't call for any additional action because I considered the action resolved on the basis that he had listened to his trans comrades and corrected his behavior by deleting the post, and stated that he was taking notes for the future which he immediately demonstrated by helping call attention to another offending post so that it could be deleted for transphobia.

    If you agree or disagree with my assement please let me know, I'm here for you all and I want to do what's right by you.

    Edit: forgot to tag @BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net since this is a reply to my own comment
