The transphobia stops now (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone to c/196@lemmy.blahaj.zone
 

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.

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Literally right below this.

[–] expected_crayon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Thank god. Reddit and Twitter were ruined by the transphobic and Nazis. Glad that isn’t tolerated here.

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

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.

Trans women are women. Girldick is best dick.

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

-Sincerely a cis lesbian.

This is what the fediverse was created for. Casual transphobia doesn't need to be permitted and I fully support that.

[–] toadstorm@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

i am old and cis but trans shitposters are the best shitposters, this is indisputable. you have my support

[–] pjb@lemmy.spacestation14.com 1 points 2 years ago

What the fuck, transphobia on 196?

Not on your instance but it's so good to see unequivocal inclusion and support for the trans community. There should be no room for bigotry of any kind.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] mbryson@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Based.

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).

[–] funky_rodent@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Nyla_Smokeyface@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] HerbalGamer@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] Arystique@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

Heck yeah! Fuck Transphobia!

[–] Lightsong@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Just wondering what does 196 means anyway? Clueless lemmy user here.

Ps I'm ally of LGBTQ2S+.

[–] Mozingo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Back on Reddit some dude and his roomates made a subreddit called r/195 (their dorm number). It only had one rule, when you visit, you have to post a meme. Eventually the public found the subreddit and started posting their own memes. It got huge and out of hand and some awful stuff started getting posted so they finally deleted the subreddit. That disappointed a bunch of people so a sequel was made, r/196. This community is a recreation of that second subreddit.

[–] There1snospoon7491@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

This should be in the sidebar so the lore isn’t lost.

[–] StarLuigi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

thank you so much for making this clear again ada, it was getting bad :(

[–] cmat273@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Hi! Trans person here. Your heart is in the right place, but this post is poorly written. You haven't even given examples of how this is currently/could be applied. Some people are just that uneducated about trans people. If they're leading questions that invalidate us, sure. But otherwise what's the harm? For 196 there's no reason to ask about that stuff but the whole instance?? Your call in the end but I can think of a few ways this could go bad just from prior experience in other communities.

[–] PersnickityPenguin@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[–] RavenFellBlade@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Trans rights are women's rights.

Trans rights are men's rights.

Trans rights are human rights.

If you believe otherwise, you're doing nothing less than questioning the basic humanity of Trans people. And you can fuck right off.

"Not gay as in happy, but queer as in fuck you!"

TRANS RIGHTS blobhaj, flag, trans, transgender

[–] tonnert@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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!!

[–] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

Damn straight. Us queers need to stand together and there can be no god damn LGBTQ+ without the flippin T.

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

[–] sneezycat@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Jimbo@yiffit.net 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you, based mod

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago

Hello, Based Department, we've got another Based Community here.

Trans rights are human rights!
