The transphobia stops now

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.

Thanks for this, honestly it was worrying how many upvotes some transphobic replies were getting.

natebluehooves,

A reminder that open registration on even a single federated instance means that having 50 sockpuppets to upvote yourself is trivial. Scores here should not be taken as consensus

PersnickityPenguin,

Damn straight queer.

I’m just your run-of-the-mill white cismale dude, but I know several trans people in real life including an old friend of mine and a 7-year-old kid across the street from me. Everyone deserves respect and dignity of life.

tetraodon,

Everyone deserves respect and dignity of life.

That’s it. Nothing to add.

PrivateNoob,

Curious question, what made 196 so popular in the trans community? I have always seen some trans memes on Reddit, but it seems the ratio is even higher here (and some anti police stuff, idk I’m not american).

Is it because this is a place you can express yourself freely on the web, or is there something more to it?

Honestly, I have no idea. We ended up with this community during the massive reddit migration because we are a queer focused instance, but I’m not sure of the history. I didn’t even know the community existed before that :)

LeylaaLovee,

I have no idea what the history of 196 being queer is, but it was an extremely queer subreddit. I think it has something to do with how many trans people also happen to be shitposters.

It was the only (as far as I know) general shitposting community on reddit that wasn’t casually racist/homophobic/transphobic, because of this a lot of LGBTQ+ people flocked to it for their memes.

noisehound,

iirc, for awhile the first and only user flair available on r/196 was “trans rights”

PrivateNoob,

Hmm that explains it then. Thanks for the info!

wokeally,

faggots and trannies should be tossed from bridges for the sake of humanity.

heimchen,

Which problems would this solve?

wokeally,

ridding the world of the trannie cancer

heimchen, (edited )

Our life is meaning less, we come and go, so I think the most important thing we can do is to make the time here as pleasant as possible for everyone. I don’t see how your suggestion could prevent suffering. On the contrary, I think it could even lead to more.

stappern,

that is affecting your life… how?

wokeally,

i just like to trigger rainbow fairy queer fags anf trannies.

stappern,

then you are a failure :)

howrar,

What makes trans people a cancer?

TotallynotJessica,

You just want to murder people and have people pat you on the back for it. The cancer I see is bigotry, because unlike trans people, it is incompatible with society. It spreads and evolves like cancer at the cellular level, taking more and more resources and causing more and more suffering. Eventually, the oppressed will strike back, leading to war both civil and international. Because war has become so destructive, these tensions risk total annihilation of entire societies, cultures, and even the human race.

It’s a societal cancer that lives in your brain, but unlike real cancer, it can be destroyed without killing the cell. You can reject it and become a good person who doesn’t kill people for fun. You just have to choose.

I only saw this post because its on all

Maybe you dont want to be on all if this is your stance

Edit. The tone above is not hostile or pithy. I thought there was a dont show this community on all option. I have been informed that it isnt a toggle or opt out feature.

I apologize for any confusion my comment caused.

Why are you here?

UnculturedSwine,

all is literally every instance. You’re basically asking them to defederate or completely shut down their instance. If you can’t handle opinions like this, you can either petition your instance to defederate from this one or stop going to all.

Jarix,

Im not asking them to do anything at all. But i didnt know you couldnt ask not to show up in all. TIL

You have taken this beyond my intention. Im perfectly happy have trans content and issues introduced to me without looking for it. I dont want it to leave, it just sounded like THEY very much want people to only be there who are there on their terms and their terms only.

Sorry for the misunderstanding

Sharkwellington,

Same energy as “I don’t mind gay people I just wish they’d stop cramming their sexuality down my throat by holding hands in public.”

Jarix,

Well thats not what im saying, but i guess i missed my mark. Oh well.

I actually meant to convey that since the community seems to be under brigade of biggots that are very much not welcome, being on all seems to be hurting them. Im totally fine with their stance. I am openly and fully supportive. Pride Puerto Vallarta this year was awesome! Knowing why people are showing up who are unwelcome when there is such a huge influx of new people is something that might be good to know about. Which is why i started with im only saw the post because its on all, meaning i didnt go looking for it, it came to me.

Sorry for the confusion. Peace and love!

parlaptie,

No, this needs to be on all. Lemmy needs these aggressively supportive posts on all. Let the transphobes see overwhelming support for trans people. If they try to butt in, ban them.

Jarix,

Thank you, i wasnt suggesting it shouldnt be, it sounded like they didnt want the attention from being on all. Happy to see it there personally, though i have come to acknowledge that is not how my comment was received.

Singar,

Agreed. The answer isn’t for communities like this to isolate. It’s to be louder and drown out the bigots.

wokeally,

trannies cant reproduce. humanity will perish with the faggot tranny agenda.

stappern,

you are not very smart are you?

wokeally,

you are very dumbfuck are you

stappern,

why? im not the one making absolutely nutjob claims that have no roots in reality :)

Will spend the next days reporting transphobes if necessary <3 best wishes from Germany

GrapefruitDoggo,

Making all the transphobes come out of the woodwork to get banned with this one~ Appreciate everyone’s unambiguous support <3

wokeally,

i have ten million sock puopet accounts and i just like to shoot fucking trannies and fuck your feelings

Lionir,

Sad to hear that’s been happening on Blahaj. Full and unambiguous support from me! 🐝

ada,
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It hasn’t been happening on Blahaj as such. The transphobes come from other instances, but have been posting their BS here

Lionir,

Right, that’s what I imagined. If there’s anything I can help with or if you just want to vent, feel free to DM at any time on Matrix

blobhaj, heart

BurtReynoldsMustache,

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

ada,
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It means that your instance hasn’t federated my edit :P

Machefi,

You have another “aggressively supportive” a few paragraphs above

ada,
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Hah. So I do. Either way, my tldr edit should make things pretty clear.

Thank you for creating a safe space. I’m an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and am happy there’s a space not for “everyone”, but for those willing to accept trans folk and silence those against them (while having funny posts on it as well).

glizzyguzzler,

I’ll aggressively guzzle to that
