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.

Both are welcome, but unambiguous is the minimum requirement. You're more than welcome to go above and beyond :)

What is aggressive support?

One of the first people to be arrested at Stonewall was just a random passerby that saw people throwing bricks at cops. He just started grabbing some bricks and joined in, saying anyone who would stand up to the police has his support.

It can be less aggressive than that of course, but that's an example.
