Lol it's like some of you guys haven't had your preconceived notions challenged before.

Transfolks are a marginalized community, they are telling you something is wrong, so as leftists you are supposed to be listening, not imposing your hot takes.

Obviously this isn't everyone here, but like I'm reading through the modlogs and there's plenty of dipshits trying to make some kind of point. Seems like a lot of them have been here awhile too, we have a post on the front page calling transphobia "drama" lmao

I'm cis, I'm still learning a lot, but this is really the only way to further your commitment to the cause.

    ill be real, i dont think there is a "nazi section" more than any other place online. if anything it's people who arent part of the website and sometimes come in to own the libs and then there is people who arent quite good enough etiquette wise to transpeople, who for example just disregard trans complaints. at this point most of the bans we are issuing are to people who are just ignorant of this conversation, not fully malignant bloodlust-y transphobia.

    back to the thing you actually commented about lol

    The idea is to just not engage with transphobic discussions though lol

    yes but when people cast bait, they are gonna get responses. it's just how it works, especially here where we have so many "posters" who just want to comment as much as possible. like, no shit, this is how twitter works, do i want the site to function like twitter?

      Mods seem pretty generous with unbanning people in these cases

      The mods are able to tell when it's just someone coming in to stir the pot from off-site though. That's expected and not the issue, it's people who are active parts of this community that are.
