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:

I’m finding that a lot of irl liberal spaces have been weird about transphobia this past year. I’m connecting the dots with his thread, civility is just “I’m transphobic but I’m not gonna say it”.
they always have been. i’ve been out as nonbinary since 2017 and i’ve had just as many weird libs be transphobic to me as conservatives. they just go about it differently.
