I blocked all 3 people in that conversation, and the community it came from, that doesn't mean I'm just going to sit quietly and let a transphobic mod get their way and foster their own little transphobic community, especially since I assume it is against the rules of the instance they're on.
We need to call out this shit publicly, not just look the other way.
And yet? I want everybody to shut up about it because we have far more pressing issues at hand. When it comes to women’s sports the public has made up their mind and the facts don’t matter.
So do I, which is why I reported those comments to be removed, but then realised that the only mod in the community agrees, and so they wouldn't only not be removed, but more of them would be encouraged, which I think is unacceptable, especially if the instance hosting them has rules against bigotry, which is what this is.

I reported the comments, but the sole mod openly saying they agree with them is why I made this post, assuming the reports go to them ,and they will blatantly just ignore them
E: I have now also after realising the mod is from lmmy.ee but the community is hosted on db0, crossposted to our own meta
It isn't the metoo that is the crisis, it's the rapists and abusers that cause it, that are.
Well done, that's exactly what those actually responsible and who are causing all the damage, and making all the money, want you to think. It's worse than useless, it's actively counterproductive, and serves to keep people busy with superficial nonsense that will never make a dent, while they continue to pillage all the resources.
At best, the person who wrote this demonstrates a vast misunderstanding of the scale of the problem, and either way, their piece serves those in power, not the cause against them.
British interests
You mistakenly think (understandably, because that's what we're taught, but that doesn't make it true) that those are your interests, or even society's interests, but they are neither. They are the interests of the owners of this country, the royals, the other gentry and land owners, and otherwise filthy rich. Theirs are the only interests the state serves.
Undercurrent?!
This is a prime example of how the MSM serves and normalises fascism for its owners benefit.
So.. Be as bad as they are to people trying to escape fascism?
"A new study finds" what communists have been saying for over a century..
I sure am grateful for how easy it is to avoid porn on lemmy, may that continue to be the case with the certain upcoming influx of it.
As Labour touts more brutal cuts to benefits, how is this different from life under the Tories?
It isn't, just like we said it wouldn't be before the election, when the cultists refused to listen.
Keith and his cronies are nothing but establishment serving placeholders and future scapegoats for the right to blame for all the ills of society and come back in stronger and more fascist than ever. And when that happens, the cultists will act all surprised and bewildered again because they simply refuse to hear anything that contradicts their deep indoctrination in to passive compliance with the rules.
As for
There may be no nasty impulse to punish ‘skivers’
If you genuinely believe that, you're not been paying any attention, or are completely oblivious to the masses of ableist and classist dog whistles they've been using all along.
Is it really a wonder why we get so much more frustrated with liberals who insist on playing along and cooperating with the system, insisting they care about society and its most vulnerable (to stroke their own egos) while refusing to listen to our warnings (again, to stroke their own egos, after all, they still see us as beneath them), than we are with those who are at least honest about throwing us under the bus? Once again MLK's quote about white moderates being a bigger barrier to equity than the KKK are proves its depressing accuracy.
Transphobia is transphobia whether the person doing it means for it to be or not.
