Expressing transphobia is not welcome on lemmy. You only have to look at the amount of upvotes "subtle" transphobia and "just asking questions" transphobia still gets to realise that there are still lots of transphobes around that have just learned to keep it close to their chest. They still express it through votes though
You're more likely to alienate people who could have been allies than achieve anything of merit
Someone who thinks giving up Rowling is too big an ask was never an ally in any way that actually means anything..
Too many people see trans people making any comment at all as something that needs to be downvoted.
lbz doesn't do downvotes, which means communities hosted on lbz don't do downvotes, and any downvotes received are ignored, without federating them out.
Basically no. At least not at the time you wrote your comment. Community ownership changed a couple of hours after your post though!

Because stirring up hate against vulnerable minorities, by positioning them as a threat is a well tested and effective technique for the power hungry to gain and retain power. And it's effective, because it works by pulling people in and making all of the conversation about whether or not it's right to hate on the group they're targeting.
