There is a spector haunting Lemmy, the spector of trans people that disagree with you.
Liberals on Lemmy are ridiculously fast to let fly all sorts of conspiracy theories if it means discrediting any trans people to the left of them. Worse still, is that this behaviour is reinforced by Lemmy mods, look at this ban Cowbee copped for the crime of being allegedly uncivil to this transphobe:
Every day, I’m glad for you fuckers building at least this tiny queer safespace on the internet. Death to the cis, etc.
The meanwhile on grad thread about this is even worse, CW transphobia:

Wasn’t iamaqtpie the one who was complaining about anti-american bias earlier this week?
That guy is just an up-front chud
These people would say water is dry if Russian and/or Chinese people said water is wet. They are out of their mind.
Peaked back into that thread, a gem: (no CW needed)
“Cowbee isn’t just another tankie. He knows his theory and will use it to dazzle you with bullshit.”
Lmao
On the bright side, some comrades are calling out how horrible that post is, though minimal.
Tagline worthy tbh
Would be especially funny if we could have it detect your username and pronouns and do it that way, but I don’t know how hard that is to accomplish.
The username part isn’t very hard, there are already taglines that do that, but the pronouns is a bit more difficult. I think the current taglines just use “they/them”.
Hm. I’ve seen some users explain why they (collective) don’t like to be referred to by they/them pronouns, so that might be a different discussion.
Oh yea, I’m kinda in that group.
I’m aware, haha. Knew some others were in that group too, I probably could have worded that better.
The rival nation state’s devious, psychological warfare tactics of… helping people realize who they really are? Makes it sound like your rivals are the good guys.
I think everyone forgots the secret program of Russia and China to forcetrans people. I had tens of people in my city growing up report Putin AND Xi Jinping coming over and injecting them will a new set of hormones. That is what happened to me too. I was talking to a friend online about the US political system being deeply transphobic and bigoted, and I heard the door being slammed on. I walked over because I thought it was the humble US police accidentally coming in to shoot me, then the door caved in. From the dust I see the silloettes of Xi Jinping, and Putin. They rush in, with Putin tackling me, and Xi injecting me. I scream in agony. I am injected with 2.5 mg of Estradiol cypionate in oil. Xi activates my now biological codephrase to be a communist agent, and tells me to repeat this injection weekly. Since then, every week on the dot, I have received 2.5 mg to inject myself with. They even find me when I’m traveling. I took a day off and visited my now girlfriend’s house (she’s also the leader of my local CCP chapter in my area (power dynamics)), and forgot to take my weekly injection. As I arrived to the entrance to the apartment building, who else was standing there, but Xi Jinping. I tried to run away, but it felt as if time had been frozen, and I couldn’t move. He spoke some words in Mandarin I couldn’t understand, and injected me with my hormones from 20 feet away. Suddently, he’s gone. Time starts flowing as normal. Did I hallucinate all that? I do not know. I just continue on to meet my girlfriend.
I got about 4 sentences in and realized I was just writing fan fiction at this point but its funny to me so I had to commit
this is a certified trans tankie banger
Yep, imaqtpie tried to tell me Hexbear is “more bigoted” yet is peddling alt-right conspiracy theories that
cw: transphobia
Foreign nations are “transing” the youth.
Unsurprising from the instance that maintains MWoG and NCD.
We’re gonna wear this emoji out soon.
It would be worn into dust if you peaked into MWoG for any length of time.
Sometimes I get morbid curiosity, that Frisish user apparently has me listed as “tankie influencer” which is kinda cute. The biggest thing though is that it’s overwhelmingly clear that any vague notions of being “left, just anti-tankie” is immediately overrun with defense of transphobia, anti-leftism, anti-DEI, anti-“wokeness” alt-right talking points, and it’s abundantly clear that no user there actually has read Marx.
As an example, one visitor had recently read Anti-Dühring from Engels and was confused as to why a MWoG post was titled something along the lines of “banned for knowing Marxsim better than an ML,” yet the body of the post showing the supposed knowledgable user’s takes contradicted what they had read with Engels. The mod on MWoG proceded to talk down to them and claim the Bolsheviks were anti-Marxist for the NEP and that it was the SRs and Mensheviks who knew better, and that the Nazi led Hungarian revolt was a “real worker movement.”
Very silly place indeed.
Tankie influencer is so based honestly.
Gotta sell tanks on XiaoHongShu now.
Goals
Didn’t think people genuinely gave that much of a shit about me, it’s kinda flattering. In a similar manner, the longer my Lemmy.ml mod log seems to get, the better it seems to prove my points about censorship.
I feel you, wear that badge with pride. I wish I was based enough to get one too.
he is an admin of sh.itjust.works
Oh I’m aware, they got really mad when I suggested that defederation is censorship. Here’s a “fun” thread to read where they spell it out. Even accuses HB of being more bigoted than sh.itjust.works and had an edgy monologue like they were Sephiroth.
For clarity, censorship can be a good thing. Removing bigotry and misinformation is good. Suggesting that you aren’t doing so is manipulative and dishonest, though, and clearly sh.itjust.works has bigoted admins.
although he’s being an edgy bigot, i really hate this trend of calling anything with passion in it ‘sephiroth posting’ like come on
Fair, who do you suggest? I mostly used it because I saw others using it. It was impassioned but purely because they were getting flustered from getting called out.
Genuinely asking, I have no attachment to the phrasing whatsoever.
lol i read that he is a diehard
Definitely, lmao.
Did you post about your ban/removal on !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com ?
Going off what cowbee already said, I’m not sure the post would even go over well there. Yes it’s world doing something terrible but it also involves an ml account and the last week has been nothing but look how bad ml is for removing me after I was being awful
Nah, I’d rather not do that as the weirdos on MWoG are already relatively obsessed with me and I’d rather not give them ammo for me being “drama obsessed” or something. I could have done it earlier when they perma-banned me from Political Memes for calling out the moderators on removing comments explaining how the Democrats are complicit in Palestinian genocide, but didn’t for similar reasons.
I’m 100% fine if someone else wants to make a post, though, I’d just rather not do it myself.
Very mature and cool headed of you. Still shit that we need to be the bigger people.
“If we treat you like a human being, the Russians win somehow.”
Also, we need to turn Eastern Europe into a nuclear wasteland because… [checks notes]… Putin hates the LGBTs
“how can there be 50% trans people that’s so unrealistic”
That part was especially baffling. Like, you’re getting accused of transphobia and are defending it, and you wonder why trans people flock to explicitly trans-positive instances? Do they not see the connection there, that perhaps the queer side may indeed have a point?
“How dare those trans people cause their own transphobia instead of just sucking it up so we can maintain decorum with people who violently fantasize about hurting them!”
If it’s such a small, niche issue, then why the fuck can’t you just tell reactionaries to fuck off?
This is full on brain scramblies
How do you think this and not realize you’re only a degree or two away from quoting Nazi shit about how “The Jews are causing Social Decay”
They’re centrists, they’ve got nuanced opinions, neither capitalism nor communism but rather a third position somewhere in the middle.
This is just straight up rightwing transphobic conspiracy theory. If there is political dialogue in US hyperfocusing on a “hyper-niche” issue it is because of conservatives who revolve their life around bodies of trans people, yet somehow the “rival psyops” isn’t existence of said conservatives who make legislation in entire states that affect 1 or 2 trans people but existence of trans people who “suddenly realized they are trans”.
non-cishets are a microscopic niche issue, we need to go back to only discuss cishet people and their issues 99.5% of the time
They need to read the Gender Accelerationist Manifesto. Or maybe they did but got the exact wrong takeaway point
