We're aware of it, but at this point, we're not planning on it.

The lens through which I view decisions like this is the health of the trans and gender diverse community on the threadiverse. Each time, basically, the process is answering the question "Would banning this user or defederating this instances strengthen the gender diverse community on the threadiverse or weaken it?" In the case of instances full of transphobes that take no action on transphobia, that's an easy question.

But in the case of lemmy.world? There are a LOT of gender diverse users on lemmy.world, and the admins are responsive whenever I reach out to them about transphobes on their instance. Defederating them would notably splinter and diminish the community, and I'm not sure the gains are worth that.

If there is a strong community desire that it happen, then we're open to it, but otherwise, I feel it would just leave us with islands of isolated trans folk that can't interact with each other, more than we already have...

Edit - I will add, we have a good relationship with the FAF admins, and we share a matrix space independent of lemmy.world and the other mega instances to aid with moderating against bigotry.
