This is free speech. They get to say what they please. They are not free from the consequences of those words however. I, as a private citizen and not a governmental actor, can censor them.

I have gotten into an accident with an uninsured driver. Twice. Both their fault (running reds out near Mulholland).

I think there should be no requirement or a govt funded baseline

This. I was too young for Obamacare to be something I knew a single thing about but as a car owner and leftist auto insurance has always rubbed me wrong.

It's just another means to keep people from being hireable by denying them jobs due to shitty public transit and the inability to legally drive their cars.

You've not said anything rule breaking, let alone transphobic enough to be banned. Saying unpopular things will not get you banned/comment removed.

I'm just enforcing the rules of this instance. Specifically hate towards any specific group (which includes rhetoric designed to oppress) is against the rules.

Sorry, not sorry. In fact, I took great joy in removing the transphobes from this comment section. I only removed egregious errors.

In a way you could say I'm maliciously complying with the instance rules.

Both. I choose both.

This is my job: to make perfectly clear what is and isn't allowed. In no uncertain terms I will make sure this place is as free from transphobia as possible.

Thank you for adding fun to my day!

Yes. If you could prove transgenderism exists. See because you attach an -ism to it you are (in English) saying "the ideology of transgender individuals" which is "we exist" which is not an ideology. It is a fact. You can disagree with facts all you want but it doesn't make you smart.or intellectual.... it makes you wrong.

Yes it does. Your position requires you be able to prove definitively they are "not biologically women"

If you cannot your entire argument falls apart. That's unknowable. You cannot know they are biologically women so using that term is just a smokescreen for bigotry.... and shows you lack an understanding of human sexing (which is objectively not a binary)

I think (and I'm cis so, shrug) this is a reasonable idea until further testing.

Though we also have evidence from Lia Thomas being about average for prior (cisgender) winners of that event that show even after they don't have a competitive advantage.

Prove they're genetically not a female. You can't without genomic testing. And forcibly testing for so many people (literally everyone who claims to be a woman) is both unethical no matter the reasoning and logistically impossible.

Therefore you can't prove they aren't a woman.

"We exist" isn't an ideology.

I banned them. And transphobia is against the rules of this entire instance (not just this community).

Them's be the rules of this entire instance.

This is a much better write up than I expected from this comment section.... you deserve at least hotdog for this effort.

Nope. Frankly a karma system would be such a terrible idea for Lemmy. We just need more mod tools, which is a downside of Lemmy being a new platform that grew really quickly.

Trans women were born a woman. I'm not trans so I don't get to decide what is or isn't transphobia just like I don't get to decide what's racist towards black people because I'm not black. I don't get a vote because it doesn't affect me.

Frankly, I don't care what you think of it. Transphobia is not allowed. This isn't a democracy. It's pretty simple: don't be an asshole.

Every comment removed violates the civility rules of this instance. Which reads thus (emphasis mine):

Do not engage in name calling, ad hominem attacks, or any other uncivil behaviour. Criticize ideas, never people.

IOW: Be transphobic and be prepared for me to iron fist the vagueness of those words. It's pretty easy not to be an asshole.
