This community is housed on an instance run by two trans women, focused on the needs of the queer and gender diverse community.

We allowed 196 here because we were promised the community is queer and trans inclusive.

If you're here it's because you're aggressively supportive of trans folk. Not middle of the ground, not "just asking questions".

If your response to that is, "yes, but..." then this isn't the instance for you, and by extension, this isn't the community for you.

tl;dr - Unambiguous support and inclusion, or fuck off somewhere else.

Edit - I changed the phrase "aggressive support to "unambiguous support", as there was some confusion over the intent behind my previous phrasing.

Just read the post that started this all. I thought that hating a person for having a sexual preference that doesn't agree with you, it's exactly what the queer community was fighting against. Well you do you. Plus demanding aggressive support only is in really poor taste. Great job making a meme thread into political crap. Yes, let's burn down everything because I don't agree with a part of it.

You're the one commenting on this instance. They manage it and can make the rules. I for one am happy to have a space where I don't need to worry about assholes making creepy comments about their sexual preferences and casually bigoted opinions.

For real, I love the way Lemmy works so much. It makes it so much easier to keep out bigots and creepy folks

This instance wasn't a political sub. This was for the memes. A person stating their sexual preference isn't being creepy. Just cause that one's person opinion isn't liked doesn't mean they can be piled onto. Of course when you start stating extremist views you will get people that say the opposite no matter what. That's what happens when you start hate. You get hate back. I guess you haven't read the original thread.
