My understanding of the history of the fediverse, such as it is, is that it was initially used by marginalized groups. Specifically LGBTQ people who felt (and in fact were) persecuted on other platforms.

Trans rights are a core issue to many people here. This is likely why your take is being met with outright rejection by so many.

I understand. But all the down votes and hurt feelings in the world don't change the validity of my point. It is entirely possible to hurt a cause by generating more opposition than support.

Are we here to virtue signal or win?
