I was there, I saw the thread. @TheDude, did you? It was pretty strongly in favour. Do we really need to keep waiting around to see if an instance administrated by a guy who wants to declare “cis” a slur is going to turn out okay?

    WHY are vulnerable people joining a decentralized system? Isnt this why you want a closed, not for public eyes community?

    Also genocide? What? Acceptance is extremely high and on the up thanks to a plethora of institutions working HARD to improve the image of trans people. You dismiss all their hard work by calling trans people ripe for genocide.

    You have some extreme views and I recommend you touch some grass, not even ironically. Nobody is planning a genocide on trans people.

        Transgender people are not disabled. They know exactly what their personal shortcomings are.

        There are a plethora of fediverses that are locked down tight and remove everything that would even mildly trigger people.

        Im all for banning nazis and trolls but I think its healthy to keep discussions.

        I know this fediverse will defederate and I explained in another comment that im completely fine with it. If people dont want to hear centrist opinions thats up to them. Not me.

        I personally use the block button if I feel I dont want to see someones opinion and I encourage everyone to do the same with me they dont want to see my comments.

        Everyone always thinks allowing a bunch of opinions will make everything dissolve in a right wing nightmarish shithole. You can still set boundaries which the EH admins did.

        And lets not forget that the admins of EH always were upfront and honest they would ban nazis or extreme views. This has been confirmed multiple times. Point it out to them and they will ban them.

          Care to elaborate on that point?

            No person is perfect, its important to know what triggers you. They can manage fine deciding what content they dont want to see.

            If they cant they should find a closed server run by admins that protect them from literally everything. Reddit for example.

              If you think Reddit protects trans people… you really have no idea.

              It’s sounded like you were implying something a lot worse.

                If I wasnt clear I have nothing against the trans community.

                Only dislike I have is the memes because I cant relate to them. 😝

                But you wont find me entering their safe spaces to start arguing on what is or isnt genocide, im only doing that here because its a public space and I didnt find it reasonable to be set apart as “neonazi” or genocide instigator for joining a centrist community with a bunch of weirdos.

                I just think edgy memes can be funny

        Moving the goalposts. You call this a genocide, its a far cry from it. About half the states respect, and provide support.

        Whatever they do in red states isnt nice, but you arent being genocided by a bunch of boomers.

        In fact, I think you are vulgar for comparing your strugglings with people like the jewish, ughurs, black africans who got and get genocided on a daily basis.

        You dont know what struggle is and this makes your comment very tasteless.

        I also notice a weird concidence where most transgender people I meet in real life have zero of the struggles outlined by people online. They a job, partner and get sufficient healthcare. They are respected, except by people of certain religions.

        Again, I will respectfully ask you to stop comparing your struggle to a genocide, as it is not.

        You are a marginalized group that is bullied and pushed around by boomers in suits.

          Sounds like a struggle to me?
