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.

if you've found a few legitimately bad actors here, then ban them and move on. don't burn the place down.

when i see someone from one space advise about how to safely access procedures or drugs that are illegal in some country, and then i tab to 196 to see that same person on the receiving end of the most harshly worded accusations of transphobia, i'm sort of at a loss for how to respond to that.

Legitimately just curious here, but what does "aggressively supportive" mean in this instance?

I have a feeling that this has a lot of room for individual interpretation. Iโ€™m aware that the world out there is insanely hostile towards trans-people, itโ€™s just thatโ€ฆ asking things about the LGBTQ+ -communities consensus or what the thoughts on the scientific community areโ€ฆ feels kinda like a minefield tbh.

While weโ€™re at it, can we also ban the word โ€œqueerโ€? ๐Ÿคฎ

Look up "Queer Theory"

Queer is good

I wouldn't say "aggressively supportive" is what I am but I do definitely support trans people any way I can!
