The transphobia stops now (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

This community is housed on an instance run by two trans women, focused on the needs of the queer and gender diverse community.

We allowed 196 here because we were promised the community is queer and trans inclusive.

If you're here it's because you're aggressively supportive of trans folk. Not middle of the ground, not "just asking questions".

If your response to that is, "yes, but..." then this isn't the instance for you, and by extension, this isn't the community for you.

tl;dr - Unambiguous support and inclusion, or fuck off somewhere else.

--

Edit - I changed the phrase "aggressive support to "unambiguous support", as there was some confusion over the intent behind my previous phrasing.

While we’re at it, can we also ban the word “queer”? 🤮

[–] Zoop@beehaw.org 33 points 1 year ago

Why? A lot of people, like myself, have reclaimed it and use it to describe themselves. As long as it's not used in a negative or derogatory way, like as an insult or name calling, I don't see the problem?

Queer is awesome.

Also a lot of the "discourse" against it a few years ago was spread by terfs sooo yeah.

I like "queer" personally because it's more inclusive

And easier to say

What a great choice of name for a troll fascist. Thank you for signposting clearly why people should ignore you - will save a lot of time and effort.

Queer is good
