I'm calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/Beaver@lemmy.ca, the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.

edit: you can find more info from kristinas post here and beavers post here
edit 2: proof, also beaver was banned from the whole instance modlong

edit 3: For trans people looking for a safer instance, I suggest Hexbear. They have a very active trans user base and are extremely supportive.
Removal as an admin isn't far enough. Needs a non-negotiable permaban. Unambiguous transphobia simply shouldn't be tolerated at all.
Preface: I'm a cis guy, so my opinion may be very well invalid
I don't understand why there aren't more people arguing for this. Why on earth does a leftist community not instaban someone spewing transphobia, especially so if they're on a position of power?
It's really frustrating how often in IRL leftist spaces there is often still quite a lot of (trans)misogyny, often more carefully presented but still kinda there. The whole rejecting pronoun tags for some contrived technical reason strikes me as in that same vein. Most non-leftist spaces are categorically worse, but it still sucks when your hometown communist party is routinely posting cringe about "bourgeois decadence'.
