The transphobia stops now

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.

Trans women are women. Girldick is best dick.

Know that you are loved. ^And also sexually objectified. Sorry bout that... ^

Can you explain the girldick thing? I'm a transman and that comes off as one of the many things that are low key alienating in expressions of support, but it's possible I'm just mistaken.

MaryTzu ,

The original reference (which triggered the OP to post) is a cis man saying he wouldn't sleep with a pre op trans woman.

He said something along the lines that girldick is disgusting, I'm saying it's hot.

If that's problematic I can delete (not sure how that works on lemmy though). I would rather hear it from a trans woman though. If you want to discuss, go for it.

Maybe using a cis bigot's words isn't the best way to show trans support. Hurts that you'd rather hear it from a trans woman. I guess this place just isn't for me or people like me. It happens. Pretty depressing though.

FYI, the person that you're talking about, is not the reason I made this post, nor were they talking about trans women or girldick.

This whole line of discussion is based on a misunderstanding of the original context I think

Based.

Thank you for creating a safe space. I'm an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and am happy there's a space not for "everyone", but for those willing to accept trans folk and silence those against them (while having funny posts on it as well).

PersnickityPenguin ,

Damn straight queer.

I'm just your run-of-the-mill white cismale dude, but I know several trans people in real life including an old friend of mine and a 7-year-old kid across the street from me. Everyone deserves respect and dignity of life.

Thanks for this, honestly it was worrying how many upvotes some transphobic replies were getting.

after seeing this for a brief moment i forgot lemmy supported headings in markdown and assumed it started supporting MFM

i've been spending too much time on calckey firefish

Sad to hear that's been happening on Blahaj. Full and unambiguous support from me! 🐝

ada OP ,
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It hasn't been happening on Blahaj as such. The transphobes come from other instances, but have been posting their BS here

Lionir ,
@Lionir@beehaw.org avatar

Right, that's what I imagined. If there's anything I can help with or if you just want to vent, feel free to DM at any time on Matrix

GrapefruitDoggo ,

Making all the transphobes come out of the woodwork to get banned with this one~
Appreciate everyone's unambiguous support <3

thank you so much for making this clear again ada, it was getting bad :(

toadstorm ,

i am old and cis but trans shitposters are the best shitposters, this is indisputable. you have my support

expected_crayon ,

Thank god. Reddit and Twitter were ruined by the transphobic and Nazis. Glad that isn’t tolerated here.

Curious question, what made 196 so popular in the trans community? I have always seen some trans memes on Reddit, but it seems the ratio is even higher here (and some anti police stuff, idk I'm not american).

Is it because this is a place you can express yourself freely on the web, or is there something more to it?

ada OP ,
@ada@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

Honestly, I have no idea. We ended up with this community during the massive reddit migration because we are a queer focused instance, but I'm not sure of the history. I didn't even know the community existed before that :)

LeylaaLovee ,

I have no idea what the history of 196 being queer is, but it was an extremely queer subreddit. I think it has something to do with how many trans people also happen to be shitposters.

CreamyWeenie ,
@CreamyWeenie@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It was the only (as far as I know) general shitposting community on reddit that wasn't casually racist/homophobic/transphobic, because of this a lot of LGBTQ+ people flocked to it for their memes.

noisehound ,

iirc, for awhile the first and only user flair available on r/196 was "trans rights"

Hello, Based Department, we've got another Based Community here.

Trans rights are human rights!
