They are also racist, but I don't expect them to be talking about FBI crime stats and the 14 words. If anything, their duplicity is helpful for how it makes them pull their punches in a way that is incongruous with their beliefs.
Anyway, no, I don't think they would, not aimed at them anyway. I suppose there are worse reactionaries who are generally "closeted" about their transphobia, but that's true of any population so the question is if it's okay for us to have new users on any basis other than individuals who passed rigorous interrogation.
There's a massive difference between the self-selection for surveys and the self-selection for being on Lemmy, and I was here for that one. People didn't like needing to assign them to themselves for various reasons (including reactionary ones) and various other things, but people didn't misgender other users or mock them for having such-and-such pronouns (though a couple of times specific sets were taken as gags that weren't).
And all I'm saying is the liberal sense of etiquette means they just won't voice their transphobia to a person like they might on a survey, same as how they wouldn't jeer at a black person even if they would get nervous seeing one (1) black teenager walking down the street.
the average lib is pretty queerphobic, just scratch them regarding hormone blockers or neopronouns

so queer users will be taking punches, albeit pulled?
Oh hey, I can use the desktop version again maybe

You don't think liberals will attack queer users in regards to hormone blockers or neopronouns?
No, I don't. I think they'll probably stick to "well don't you know castro killed people like you lmao?" and gems like that.
about 1/4th of american liberals oppose hormone blockers
and i'm guessing you weren't here for hexbear's neopronoun struggle session, then

liberal sense of etiquette doesn't mean much on an anonymous internet forum
what do you think all of those "removed by mod" comments on that post were, or even some that weren't removed like "Can we go back to focusing on something that matters"?
