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.

Not on your instance but it's so good to see unequivocal inclusion and support for the trans community. There should be no room for bigotry of any kind.

Genuinely thank you. This community just existing as it does has already helped me a fucking weird amount.

But muh discussion with both sides! 🤨🤔 That's not very tolerant of you, guess we know whose the real baguette now. 😤

I used to be on the original 196 two years ago, cause it really was 99% supportive. But it has simply devolved into fetishization over time.

Yes, but….I don’t even know what 196 is. It shows up on my feed and is sometimes funny. I’m just clueless, not a bigot.

196 is a random content community with the simple rule of "post before you leave", so its filled with memes ^.^

It's also a very trans friendly place. But there was a thread recently with a bunch of "just asking questions", and "trans people are just oversensitive", and "I'm not a bigot, but most trans woman have a chip on their shoulder so I am no longer friends with them" kinda stuff, on a post a (trans) mod made complaining about people reporting a pretty questionable comment.

Even if people disagreed over the original comment, the thread about it ended up being transphobic as fuck.

So presumably the admins of lemmy.blahaj.zone (a trans-run instance, who host this, main, c/196 community, on the promise it would be very trans supportive) noticed the lack of moderation of that transphobic thread and are doing something about it ^.^
