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.

Basically, if you're not in their bubble of bullies they'll bully you out of the instance and you don't even need to be offensive for that.

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.

While we’re at it, can we also ban the word “queer”? 🤮

[–] BaumGeist@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Look up "Queer Theory"

Queer is good

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.

[–] wildeaboutoskar 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Pfnic@feddit.ch 2 points 1 year ago

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

[–] sounddrill@lemmy.antemeridiem.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I legit don't care, I'm simply here for the memes
