The transphobia stops now (lemmy.blahaj.zone)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

There was transphobia in 196? HOW?

[-] unmarketableplushie@pawb.social 4 points 1 year ago

One of the mods made a post about how this comment being really creepy about trans men's bodies somehow wasn't transphobic and then deleted it after people started calling them out lol

[-] LeylaaLovee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you for providing good context on this thread. The original comment was ass, but not important overall. If the mod hadn't decided to explicitly defend it, this wouldn't even be a conversation. This entire discourse would have been avoided if it wasn't for a shitty mod post.

Honestly I didn’t realize this was a trans community. I thought ‘196’ was just some random number like the ‘4’ in 4chan. 196 just had good content. The fact it’s inclusive is just a bonus.

[-] UnculturedSwine@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

The entire instance lemmy.blahaj.zone is a trans themed instance therefore every community on it is slanted towards trans community and support.

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

[-] expected_crayon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

~~Can you see my reply? I'm on lemmy.world and I thought it was still defederated from Beehaw so I shouldn't be able to see your comment O_o~~ (I'm used to being more active on my beehaw account so using my lemmy.world account threw me off, disregard this lol)

P.S. Yay trans rights and having a pro-trans meme space 😄

[-] Mozingo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Being defederated just means you can't see new posts on beehaw communities and they can't see your communities at all. If your instance and beehaw are both federated with a third instance, like the one this community is on, then you'll still be able to see comments by beehaw users on that instance.

[-] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Let me just make sure I got this right

Dee is on lemmy.world

Zoop is on beehaw

This thread is on lemmy.blahaj.zone

So Dee and Zoop can see each other's comments since neither lemmy.world nor beehaw is defederated from blahaj.zone?

It's like a border state or something

[-] gramathy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Accorded neutral ground

[-] Dee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I can see Zoop's comment, but Zoop can't see mine. Because beehaw is defederated from lemmy.world but lemmy.world has not chosen to defederate from beehaw so it still gets the comments from beehaw users.

Actually because all these replies are to my lemmy.world account Zoop can't see this entire exchange, and I can't see it on my beehaw account either. I just had a brain fart.

[-] Dee@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

~~I'm not sure about that. I think it might be a glitch or something because I never see beehaw comments on lemmy.world and never see lemmy.world comments on my beehaw account. Like, I can't see the comment I made on this account from my beehaw account.~~

~~Just thought it was odd.~~

I was just being dumb, Monzingo is right.

[-] toadstorm@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

[-] ombremad@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Thank you so much. We need that more than anything right now — where transphobic content tends to be the default on the web.

If this is the time to go full aggressive for our rights, count me in!

(And if you’re here to passive-aggressively complain about how you « don’t care about people’s sexuality » and making everyone notice you’re leaving — let me be very active-aggressive in saying « good fucking riddance » to you.)

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 2 points 1 year 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.

[-] THEMASTERMIND@feddit.ch 2 points 9 months ago

Agreed no transphobia

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

[-] Holzkohlen@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] HerbalGamer@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year 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.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year 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.

[-] StarLuigi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago

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

[-] wildeaboutoskar@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] PrivateNoob@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

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?

[-] CreamyWeenie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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

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!!

[-] cmat273@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year 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.
