Crossposting here because apparently this transphobic mod is running their community, where they enable other transphobes, on this instance, which I don't think they should be allowed to - eviltoast

Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn’t going to result in any action, so I’m wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?

    I’d much prefer to defend our trans community, but…

    Jfc…

    Says the person who has clearly never even tried listening to trans people, but is more than happy to believe every piece of misinformation they hear about us then demand we labour for them to disprove it to their satisfaction, over the people they claim they wold actually “prefer” to defend, but aren’t…

      Judgmental much?

      I’ve defended trans people in conversation about sports from a place of empathy. I imagine how I’d feel if some bureaucrats told me I had to play on a girls team. How out of place I’d feel at practice, in the locker room, on the bus to competitions, etc.

      The problem I have is when right-wingers come at me with skeletomuscular advantage and detailed sports statistics, I’m in over my head. I won’t even broach the conversation any more, because I felt my lack of insight just helped them feel like they proved their point.

      I could remain quiet, but I have a moral obligation to stand up for the oppressed. You don’t have to help inform me, but you don’t have to be a dick about it either.
