When I hear "My goal of blahaj zone is not political," I hear "I want my group to have no immune system so that fascism can insidiously sneak in past our noses."
If I said "politics has no place on blahaj zone" that would be a fair accusation.
But politics explicitly has a place on blahaj zone, precisely because of the impact it has on the lives our community. It needs to be talked about. Politics has a place here, because it has to have a place here. But it's not the primary reason the space exists.
Your goal for the entire site is non-political. Being a safe space for trans people is a political goal, intrinsically, in my opinion. Do you have a wildly different definition of "political" than the one I'm using?
We are a left leaning instance that is explicitly welcoming of political discussion, and home to several communities focused on politics.
You are mistakenly conflating the fact that we don't center politics with the idea that we're trying to avoid it.
I know your secret, Ada; you want to protect trans people, and you use any power in your hands to save trans lives if and when you can. Being queer is a radical political act, and one which you and your community don't just avoid, but are in full support of. It's okay to acknowledge it. It's a good thing, in fact.
Why would I avoid it? I'm openly, loudly and proudly queer. In the daily I'm covered in pride symbol's, and i have an estrogen tattoo.
I'm an advocate and an activist, and this space is part of it.
I'm political, but this space is a result of my politics, not a vehicle for it, because my advocacy includes people who don't share my political views.
