Hey, please report any transphobia so I can take care of it or an admin if they see it in the queue first. That being said, if you can, also please shoot me a private message on this account with a link to the offending content. Or shoot me a message on Discord (I’m in the Lemmy.world discord channel) with a link to the content.

Notifications don’t happen for reports or anything and I have to jump across two different accounts and check modqueues due to federation being a lil wonky. I don’t always catch them on that second account because I use it less often. So please shoot me a message with any reports <3 Thanks!

    Wow. So much for the lemmy community here.

    The only opinion I’m giving is respect others regardless of how anyone feels on the matter. And that still stands. I’m not giving any opinion on lgbtq+.

    But all these comments about “hitting others” and name calling is the complete opposite of respect. If someone has a view that you don’t agree with then talk, or say OK and leave the conversation.

    Don’t read too deep and make assumptions with my comments. My intentions are true, I just want a global community of respect.

      he only opinion I’m giving is respect others regardless of how anyone feels on the matter.

      And that opinion is the problem. What you’re advocating for is to give equal respect to trans people and people who actively want to punish trans people for existing. Your opinion is inherently disgusting.

      No one needs to ‘read deep’. Your intentions are surface level. You are advocating for giving respect to those who hold the opinions that trans people should not exist and that it is a mental illness. The two are not similar and they are not deserving of respect.

      However I am going to ban you from this community now for a week while leaving your comments up just to point out how idiotic this stance is, how dangerous it is to trans people, how tone deaf it is, how disrespectful it is, and exactly the type of shit you shouldn’t say. Also that if you display this type of idiotic behavior that you deserve to be mocked and ridiculed endlessly for supporting those who do exactly that to people below them.

      Sit down, shut up and think about what you said. Read the responses from those who are actually impacted and stop trying to equate hate with love.

      I don’t respect you, and i think your opinion is bad because it smacks of cowardice and servility.

      I’m of the opinion that you aren’t qualified to have an opinion, or a voice. I would like to see you banned because your “opinion” has had so many powerful rebuttals to it (that you haven’t and will not read).

      I propose mods permaban you.

      See, its not enough for me to block you. I believe your very existence on this platform, your insipid worldview, to be problematic. If i had the power to erase your dumb opinion from the whole world, i would.i really would.

      You, who you are, your connections and loves, they mean nothing to me. Your existence is only this dumb fucking opinion, if you died and brought that opinion with you, i actually would feel nothing but relief.

      Do you respect my opinion?

      (do you see what i tried to do there? Did i make it to overt? Not calling for anyone being hurt, c’mon. But yo man take the lesson, Christ!)

      Ladies and Gentlemens, the tolerance paradox hard at work.

      At what point can we stop both sidesing everything? Is it when trans people are banned from public spaces? Is it when they’re rounded up and put into camps to be converted back? At what point are opinions no longer valid to you? Because clearly wiping out an entire sector of people isn’t that line.

      Go read some history about fascism and come back when you’re educated.

      I just want a global community of respect.

      Some opinions are simply not worthy of respect. Like the opinion that there are two sides when it comes to someone’s identity. Or that one race is superior to another.

      So LGBT people should just let themselves be disrespected and not do anything about it? That’s basically what you’re saying here because the people they are disrespecting have already disrespected them.

      It’s centrists like you that aren’t wanted on Lemmy. Reddit loves Nazis and transphobes, why don’t you give that site a try, you’d fit right in.

      I too didn’t get enough love from my parents so must say inflammatory things on Internet forums to get strangers to argue with me to fill the hole in my heart.
