We are a left leaning instance that is explicitly welcoming of political discussion, and home to several communities focused on politics.
You are mistakenly conflating the fact that we don't center politics with the idea that we're trying to avoid it.
I know your secret, Ada; you want to protect trans people, and you use any power in your hands to save trans lives if and when you can. Being queer is a radical political act, and one which you and your community don't just avoid, but are in full support of. It's okay to acknowledge it. It's a good thing, in fact.
Why would I avoid it? I'm openly, loudly and proudly queer. In the daily I'm covered in pride symbol's, and i have an estrogen tattoo.
I'm an advocate and an activist, and this space is part of it.
I'm political, but this space is a result of my politics, not a vehicle for it, because my advocacy includes people who don't share my political views.
