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.

I’m mostly just a lurker in this community but here I go: Trans rights are human rights 👍

Valmond,

Trans rights 💪✊!!

Still cis though 🥵

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

MaryTzu,

Trans women are women. Girldick is best dick.

Know that you are loved. ^And also sexually objectified. Sorry bout that… ^

-Sincerely a cis lesbian.

And Trans women are cool!

-Sincerely an allied cis man

Velociraptor,

Can you explain the girldick thing? I’m a transman and that comes off as one of the many things that are low key alienating in expressions of support, but it’s possible I’m just mistaken.

m0darn,

I’m not the person you were seeking clarification from but I took her comment to mean that she is a cis woman that’s sexually attracted to women, but also enjoys P.I.V. sex. Therfore she would be happy to discover that a woman she is attracted to has a penis.

That’s just my interpretation though.

Velociraptor,

How far removed from the instigating post is that? It doesn’t seem all that different if we’re immediately diving into fuckables and unfuckables.

m0darn,

I think you’re saying I didn’t help you understand her position, fair enough.

I mean this post is a place to voice support for the trans community and she said she likes having lesbian sex with trans women. I don’t think the statement was meant to support trans men, just trans women. Trans women tend to be the focus of a lot of the conversation. I think trans men and trans women have different experiences with transphobia and need different supports. If you’d like to talk about your feelings I’d be interested to learn.

But also, she’s a lesbian so again it’s not too surprising that she would center women in her comment.

I’m a cis het man that wants to support you. It occurs to me that the less time men spend thinking and talking about lesbian sex, the better adjusted they are. So I’m going to excuse myself from this conversation. Good luck out there man. I’m pulling for ya.

MaryTzu, (edited )

The original reference (which triggered the OP to post) is a cis man saying he wouldn’t sleep with a pre op trans woman.

He said something along the lines that girldick is disgusting, I’m saying it’s hot.

If that’s problematic I can delete (not sure how that works on lemmy though). I would rather hear it from a trans woman though. If you want to discuss, go for it.

Velociraptor,

Maybe using a cis bigot’s words isn’t the best way to show trans support. Hurts that you’d rather hear it from a trans woman. I guess this place just isn’t for me or people like me. It happens. Pretty depressing though.

FYI, the person that you’re talking about, is not the reason I made this post, nor were they talking about trans women or girldick.

This whole line of discussion is based on a misunderstanding of the original context I think

xpinchx,

🏳️‍🌈fuck your hate🏳️‍🌈

thisbenzingring,

I don’t subscribe to this community but I found your post in the top of my feed. And want people to know, you have my support. I think it’s awesome that you’re able to build this community.

I’m not going to be aggressive in any online discussion but I am very sensitive to the situation. My brother was a gay man who had lots of difficulties and ultimately took his own life. I will always wonder if society was different, if he’d still be here.

So I will never shy away in real life. I promised the memories of my brother to always be that change that is needed. I will be that cis dude who takes the time to try and change people who show me their bigotry.

I know people in real life who have transitioned. It’s a very difficult process and anyone who feels that they need it, they should have access to it. The look of being comfortable in one’s own skin afterwards is absolutely observable. I can only do what I can do but you will always have an ally in me.

Trans people are regular, real people. Like my college friend. Or my wife’s HS friend. Or that one kind soul I worked with once.

I’m so god damn sick of all the hatred and lies and bullshit and murder and sadistic laws against trans people.

I loudly applaud any space that actively supports trans people and gives them a place free from hatred and assholes.

EremesZorn,

The fact that they need a space away from everyone else, and the fact that this post even had to be made, is a testament to mankind’s inhumanity to man. People are people, but there’s an unsettling amount of people that can’t see past creed, color, sexuality, and so on.
I’d say it’s a monument to our own hubris as well. We’re the most advanced civilization that we know exists, but still can’t seem to treat members of our own society right.

WHAT THE FUCK (RESPECTFULLY) FUCK UNAMBIGUOUS SUPPORT AGGRESSIVE SUPPORT TILL THE DAY I DIE MOTHERFUCK*R 🏳️‍⚧️

Both are welcome, but unambiguous is the minimum requirement. You’re more than welcome to go above and beyond :)

Cheese,

What is aggressive support?

hemko,

🔪

Ultraviolet,

One of the first people to be arrested at Stonewall was just a random passerby that saw people throwing bricks at cops. He just started grabbing some bricks and joined in, saying anyone who would stand up to the police has his support.

It can be less aggressive than that of course, but that’s an example.

Nyla_Smokeyface,

It’s comforting to know that this community is intolerant of transphobia

Milk_SDF_Possum,
@Milk_SDF_Possum@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

And intolerant of anyone who doesn’t agree with all they say.

@agent_flounder@lemmy.one avatar

“agree”… bruh. This doesn’t concern you. Just let them be and keep it shut ffs. You don’t have to tell them how you don’t “agree” with them. What’s not to agree with anyway? You going to disagree with ADHD when you don’t have it and don’t know shit about it? Maybe walk a mile in someone’s shoes before you decide you’re the arbiter of their experiences. Or better maybe realize there are other perspectives and experiences and the world is better when you listen and learn and stow it?

StellarExtract,

Thank you! I followed 196 over here from Reddit when it moved and I appreciate you reaffirming its principles. I think the move to Lemmy paradoxically gave 196 more visibility to people who don’t necessarily agree with those principles because its posts wind up so prominent on All, especially in smaller instances. It’s kind of hilarious how many posts I’ve seen asking why people on Lemmy say “rule” all the time 😂

Edit: in closing, fuck transphobes

Remember; not supporting trans rights means you’re on the same side as those using laws and judges to strip women of their autonomy around the world. <3

EremesZorn,

Which is why it’s important to give no quarter to fascism and theocracy no matter where you live.

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

flicker,

I'm glad yall posted this but I'm bummed it's no longer "aggressive." Anybody who pretends that the wording of "aggressive support" is concerning is probably afraid of triggering that aggression themselves... and they should be.

ada, (edited )
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

People were thinking that aggressive meant that they had to be explicitly active in trans spaces and talking about trans stuff. What I wanted to convey is that someone doesn’t have to talk about trans stuff to post here, but if they do talk about trans stuff, it needs to be unambiguously supportive.

I however remain aggressively supportive, and will continue to ban bigots, reply guys and “just asking question” dog whistlers as soon as they appear :)

UnculturedSwine,

That’s why people like me will continue coming here.

Aloomineum,

Nobody deserves to be bullied or hated for simply existing. Transphobes go away! Trans rights are human rights!
