Damn, I though lemmy was more open to you folks and it's sad to see that I was simply missing what's going on. :(
As a mod i see more things than most people do
Like I know that what you and your community goes through is just as bad as any other oppression in the world, but at the same time it is kind of funny that transphobes are so afraid of you because they might want to have sex with you.
It's the craziest shit, and if it weren't so dangerous and sad and fucked up it would be so empowering.
i definitely wouldn't say that's the primary motivation behind transphobes' reasoning. In my expierence it's the upsetting of an entire worldview they were raised in and what they were taught as the truth their whole lives being false. Hell, just even being unable to cope with nuance and gray areas in the natural world.
That is a good point that I hadn't considered.
I hear this a lot and I wonder how Lemmy or even the Fediverse as a whole got that status?
I don’t see anything that would make the Fediverse a safer place, except for the fact that the software itself, allows for the creation of closed communities.
As soon as you open up your community to the rest of the Fediverse though, you are at the mercy of the rest of the internet, that unfortunately includes assholes.
Now, as a Lemmy administrator myself, I can fortunately say that I haven’t experienced any transphobia from my users or have transphobia reported by my users. But do note that I am only talking about actual reports made by users. If it hasn’t been reported, I am not aware of it.
