Again some people who carried LGBT flag were arrested during some football match as far as I know, I saw it on Telegram.
Also, again some laws on banning ‘‘LGBT pRoPaGaNdA’’ were signed by government and Putin I think, they won’t shut up about it. What is up with this?
I am resilient, I’ve tolerated way more than just this comment on here and I’ve got my own mental health to protect.
What I thought was a safe space as a ML for me is sadly not and I don’t log in to here to then see people I share a community with slander women, feminism, queers, trans etc purely because of ignorance and edge. It’s tiring and exhausting.
I came here to get away from reddit takes, not have to tolerate them from communists.
And that user was only banned from genzedong, not the entire site so I’d argue that we only “trim the fat” when it’s anti-communism but when there’s transphobia, homophobia or sexism it tends to be a sub ban and I find that a bit shit tbh because those same problematic individuals are not “trimmed”.
That’s my bad, the buttons are very similar and I confuse them all the time 🤦
I’ve updated the ban to sitewide.
Thank you, that genuinely makes me feel better 🫂

Its unfortunate, and I think the takeaway from this is that we have a very long road ahead, before transphobia becomes a condemned thing across the entire scape. A really long road, just to put more emphasis. It is fucking atrocious that there are both kinds of people, those that are transphobes, and those that refuse to comprehend the coexistence of a trans culture in society. I mean, there are also TERFs.
I am part of the minority within a minority, that are not just cool and acceptable, but friendly with trans people, while being a cis het male. It was almost a decade ago when I used to be like others, unable to comprehend this coexistence, and with this ignorant attitude, and it took a while.
I know that it is a tough pill to swallow, but society progress bar is stuck at a low percentage. And most of internet is used by Westerners (reddit is 55% USA/Canada and 30% West EU), and you know the relationship of imperialism and normalisation of cis het gender/sexuality, so unless we develop a culture of non Western/ised internet spaces over atleast a couple decades, the effects of Westernisation will continue to exist.
What you see as this banned poster, is merely the echoes of that West imperialist periphery mindset that exists in Lemmygrad like the rest of the internet. And then there is the problem of communist discourse itself being such a tiny blob compared to the liberal-conservative dichotomy (thanks Cold War), that uniting communists means the trans issue/agenda naturally takes a backseat.
