yeah i know JK Rowling has said and done awful things to the trans community, but you really shouldn’t making posts wishing for their death or celebrating that you told them to suck on a shotgun. it’s not productive and makes allies and the trans community look criminally derange.
the better thing to do is to promote the trans community and show trans are normal people that do fun things like drag shows.
yeah didn’t i pissed off a mod so much that they banned me from other till a week later. also i think my bans are hilarious.
yeah talking about me getting banned always gets me hilarious reactions. but feel free to explain why i deserve it
Leave logic at the doorstep when going into communities. All communities have their biases, unfortunately, and this is just one way it’ll show up. If you go against the mores of a group you’ll get banned, have your comments removed etc.
I am in favour of non-violence and can understand where they’re coming from in this case, being another demographic that is persecuted similarly. It’s a case of reverse discrimination gone to its extreme (i.e. wanting their death). One could argue it’s fair because the people on the other side (JK Rowling) want the same, and worse, are actively funding anti-trans legislation. This type of persecution kills.
Emotionally, it’s justified, although I know and agree that it doesn’t really help or resolve anything. Wanting Rowling dead doesn’t save dead or dying trans people. Reverse discrimination isn’t useful and isn’t something I’d aspire to, but it depends on what stage someone is in of going through shit, their current environment, and also just what they value in general.
I’ve found that moderators in general aren’t typically mature and censor anything that bothers them even if it isn’t a logical decision (note that I am not saying X group of people has to “forgive” another group to be mature).
This took place on a trans instance, that explicitly exists to provide a space for trans people that puts their needs and safety first. It has a zero tolerance policy for transphobia, for defending transphobes, for “just asking questions” transphobia etc.
And because of the nature of the fediverse, folk who don’t want that experience have many other instances to choose from.
It’s a specifically chosen and enforced policy.
Being opposed to telling transphobes to end their lives isn’t transphobic.
Though I agree that migrating is the way to deal w unjustified bans.
You should probably read the rest of their comments.
OP is full of shit.
