TRANS RIGHTS FUCK YEAH 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
Go go go. I’m so sick and tired of the hatred, the ignorance and frankly speaking, the stupidness.
I’m from a culture that is not very forgiving and tolerant, even though on the tin it says we are.
And it took me years to see and understand it. Now that I’ve conquered that ignorance, hell no we are not going to regress!!
I'll be honest I think alienating people feeling in the middle is a bad idea, making an echo chainber is ehat those other websites are for, and people on the middle ground are the ones whose beliefs matter the most as they they are the only ones that will change things.

FUCK YES! I'm so glad to see this, the comments on some of those posts recently just gave such an ick feeling. Fuck transphobes. All hail glorious blahaj!
Yeah I have no problem with you being trans, I do have a problem with this goofiness. Good luck, friends.

AGGRESSIVE SUPPORT FROM AN ENBY QUEER WEIRDO! I SUPPORT YOU FAM.
I get the sentiment but damn are the trans memes painfully unfunny. Y'all gotta get better at making memes or this instance is gonna remain mid.

Somewhat relevantly, I've long since wondered what even is the use of a patriarchy if men still can't wear skirts and nail polish.
Lemmy is in a weird state. I appreciate not seeing casual homophobia/transphobia in mainstream places like 196, but they're also not exactly inclusive of actual out-and-grown-up queer people, and there aren't enough people here yet for actual safe places to exist. I posted a comment self-referentially calling myself (a trans woman ) a "f-----" or something, and it got downvoted and deleted. This was a problem on reddit, where transphobes would report trans people for using self-referential slurs, and tone deaf reddit admins would ban their accounts. Now it seems like we're going to do it again here.

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.

I still have no idea how these communities are set up structurally. That said I'm quite pleased to see this as the community baseline. Stumbling into inclusivity is the best kind of stumbling.
