    It's more than mild transphobia. Further down, that user actually states their full position, and spoiler alert: they're super transphobic. I reported the comment for transphobia, hopefully a mod will nuke it, but it's all polite and civil in the way it presents its bullshit case using cherrypicked data about puberty blocker side effects, so idk if they will.

    Edit: Hooray, that comment got nuked! Eat shit, transphobe!

    Edit 2: They banned them! https://lemmy.ml/comment/541824 :CommiePOGGERS:

    Edit 3: What the fuck, someone restored the transphobic comment and unbanned the POS, this is bullshit

    Edit 4: Apparently another admin overrode the decision. I am fucking FURIOUS about this right now. Would love to know which Lemmy admin is the fucking piece of garbage who did it.

    Edit 5: another mod removed the comment, so yay? Someone suggested it was an effort to let the comm's mods make the decisions rather than having admins run the show, so maybe that's what happened? Hoping so!

      They should be happy about this, because this is what :freeze-peach: looks like. They were free to speak by being transphobic, and the server owners were also free to speak by banning them. This is what freedom looks like chuds, if you don't like it, too bad.

      Dessalines and Nutomic are usually pretty good at clamping down on bigots, but the they've been swamped with an unexpected flood of fleeing redditors right when they were in the middle of a pretty big API change. Between all the dev work and the massive surge in userbase, I'm not surprised some bigots are slipping through the cracks.

      Off topic

      Also, unrelated, but I noticed that Hexbear automatically puts text in your clipboard into a block quote when you create a comment. I might have to steal this feature for the upstream.
