UPDATE: ADMIN STATEMENT IN COMMENTS


Leadership of Lemmy has dug in their heels and shown that they will be slow to remove overt homophobia, sexism, and transphobia on this platform. Administration will spend hours or days of effort defending these people to justify a ban that would be instant on other platforms.

You are not safe here. I recommend migrating to either Lemmygrad.ml or Hexbear.net (Hexbear being much less sectarian but the people on Lemmygrad are very cool 😎). Please take care out there. Fuck the patriarchy! Trans rights are human rights! ✊

    I would rather suggest a more general purpose instance like beehaw if these allegations that youre making has any ground to them. Diverse set of opinions, when presented in good faith on a platform like beehaw will always be productive in a difficult discourse

      It’s not difficult discourse. COB was misgendered purposely and compared to a groomer, which is a) highly insulting and slanderous and b) an old anti-LGBT conspiracy theory that has led to deaths and repression.

      If beehaw considers this “difficult” then maybe people are better off indeed on lemmygrad or hexbear where we solved these questions ages ago.

      If beehaw bans transphobes and homophobes on sight then plug yourself. But I’m done debating these people. My existence is not up for debate and there is nothing to discuss. I will continue to be trans regardless of people’s opinions and disgusting namecalling.

        We absolutely have zero tolerance for intolerant people over on Beehaw, this is not restricted to just transphobia or homophobia but any kind of bigotry.

        I didnt mean your existence is up for debate, but I completely understand how my comment could be interpreted as insinuating that. I suggest beehaw because I have a strong feeling that the admins are completely against any kind of explicit expression of prejudice towards any group.
