This is it. It's really easy for cis people to talk about trans issues like they are nothing because they don't experience them. I should know. I used to be like that before I knew I was a trans girl, and then I eventually came to realize why it hurt so much when my egg broke and I came to be in that position.
Wow you totally seem like a credible and sensible person to make such an assessment, totally not someone with a history of transphobic arguments, nope, not at all, totally not someone who would get themselves banned making such an argument and deserve it 100%.
If it wasn't clear I was being sarcastic. You clearly parroted right-wing transphobic talking points which means you believe or agree with them to a certain extent. You are not a safe person for trans people. Saying "I'm not transphobic I support LGBTQ, but..." is the equivalent of saying "I'm not racist, I have black friends". I know your kind very well. I used to be one.
I chose lemmy.blahaj.zone since most of the communities I participate in are there and they have been nothing but kind to me. I highly recommend it for other queer people who want to have a peaceful community free of transphobia.
Makes sense to me, AMAB these days has little to do with maleness, it just describes if someone was born with a dick and balls, that's how they decide "It's a boy" when the baby is born anyway, even though they might be dead wrong 🏳️⚧️
That seems shitty (also FYI trap is a nasty word). I'm not doing that at all. I try and be very clear that I'm a girl. A masculine girl who likes sports, cars, and getting dirty but a girl no less.
It means AMAB. Best way to remember is that trans terminology describes identities we identify with, or direction of transition. So trans women are women, and transfem (transfeminine) means feminine or feminizing.
I'm not entirely sure, I've heard that defederation breaks subscriptions and stops new content from flowing in, but I've also heard that it only stops content from flowing in from the server they're blocking.
It's hard to say. I would definitely recommend creating an account there though if you're intio those communities or queer content in general. I'm still thinking of doing it myself soon, just haven't gotten around to it yet.
That's not enough they have to be okay with or even in support of transgender rights. Not caring means they'll either do nothing or work against us. I will not stand for either.
Modern conservatism is a cancer that deserves and needs to be squashed out. It has an outright dangerous and seductive quality to it. It took me years to get over it many people don't ever get out of it.
So echo chamber argument isn't a good one. If anything modern conservatism is itself an echo chamber, that squashes all opposing viewpoints.
I agree, and I personally would not hold it against the lemmy.blahaj.zone admins if they chose to defederate lemm.ee on that basis. Admins need to stand up and be willing to "interfere" with communities to uphold order and standards or the instance becomes a toxic cesspit very quickly.
As someone who used to be stuck in that I couldn't agree more. It absolutely is a lack of empathy and cognitive ability, but also it persists because they think it's cool and accepted. I know that's why I followed it as long as I did. So I say block it. It doesn't do anyone any good and the less people see it the less they'll think its cool.
The admins of lemm.ee are well aware of that community. From what I understand they choose to allow mods to run their communities how they see fit and rarely decide to interfere with them. Doesn't seem great, seems like a system that'll let shit like this happen over and over in the future.
Ok that's fair enough, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree and end it at that.
For the record I apologize if I came off as too harsh to their claims. I should've been more understanding. I'm very used to people making false claims, especially ones of a severe nature, and when I saw they were making a claim and presenting evidence that wasn't supporting those claims I thought it was one of those. I apologize if there was a misunderstanding.
I don't think so. It's pretty toxic to accuse a person of bigotry when they aren't posting things that are bigoted, and actually have and enforce rules in their community against bigotry. All simply because of a content genre they dislike.
I don't like the format and I agree that there's reasons to be skeptical but I don't think it's okay to outright accuse a person of being bigoted when they have not been bigoted. If they had shown evidence of the person being bigoted, rather than their evidence being a guilt by association, that would be different but I haven't seen such evidence and it seems like their community is largely hostile to bigotry.

Criticism of the CCP alone is not racist, reporting it as racism is report abuse.
