This is heartbreaking to read. As someone who has been actively reading the site since day one but rarely commenting, I completely agree with your conclusion. I feel complicit having seen much of this without actively pointing it out, and having fallen for some of it myself.
I understand it can be hard to recognize your own prejudice, but that is exactly what many of us, myself included need to do if we are to have any chance of preserving the good parts of this community.
Thank you for taking the time to spell out the issue for people like me, who don't experience the transphobia/racism firsthand. I had been getting a bad feeling about the events on the site in the last few weeks, but having it complied the way you did finally made me realize the severity of the situation. :trans-heart:
