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.
Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.

🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 100% support from me
Trans people are regular, real people. Like my college friend. Or my wife’s HS friend. Or that one kind soul I worked with once.
I’m so god damn sick of all the hatred and lies and bullshit and murder and sadistic laws against trans people.
I loudly applaud any space that actively supports trans people and gives them a place free from hatred and assholes.
The fact that they need a space away from everyone else, and the fact that this post even had to be made, is a testament to mankind’s inhumanity to man. People are people, but there’s an unsettling amount of people that can’t see past creed, color, sexuality, and so on.
I’d say it’s a monument to our own hubris as well. We’re the most advanced civilization that we know exists, but still can’t seem to treat members of our own society right.
As an Asexual Gender-Fluid person with trans friends, I fully support this
Damn straight. Us queers need to stand together and there can be no god damn LGBTQ+ without the flippin T.
I’m not trying to co-opt anything. Far from. I just want to remind everyone that you don’t need to know your place in the rainbow to want to see its beauty.
Every single transphobe right now:
basically lamb glinahan.
Literally right below this.
Genuinely thank you. This community just existing as it does has already helped me a fucking weird amount.
You have my utmost support even though I am not even on your instance. Just saw it in the federated feed :p Stay strong LGBTQ+ 💪💪💪
Critical Support
thank you so much for making this clear again ada, it was getting bad :(
if you’ve found a few legitimately bad actors here, then ban them and move on. don’t burn the place down.
when i see someone from one space advise about how to safely access procedures or drugs that are illegal in some country, and then i tab to 196 to see that same person on the receiving end of the most harshly worded accusations of transphobia, i’m sort of at a loss for how to respond to that.
No one is burning anything down.
Nobody deserves to be bullied or hated for simply existing. Transphobes go away! Trans rights are human rights!
Thank God. THAT post earlier was shocking me.
I’m glad yall posted this but I’m bummed it’s no longer “aggressive.” Anybody who pretends that the wording of “aggressive support” is concerning is probably afraid of triggering that aggression themselves… and they should be.
People were thinking that aggressive meant that they had to be explicitly active in trans spaces and talking about trans stuff. What I wanted to convey is that someone doesn’t have to talk about trans stuff to post here, but if they do talk about trans stuff, it needs to be unambiguously supportive.
I however remain aggressively supportive, and will continue to ban bigots, reply guys and “just asking question” dog whistlers as soon as they appear :)
That’s why people like me will continue coming here.
Go go go. I’m so sick and tired of the hatred, the ignorance and frankly speaking, the stupidness.
I’m from a culture that is not very forgiving and tolerant, even though on the tin it says we are.
And it took me years to see and understand it. Now that I’ve conquered that ignorance, hell no we are not going to regress!!
