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 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.

      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.

        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

      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.”

        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!

      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.

        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.
