    Would you say the nazis were socialist because they called themselves “National Socialists”?

    Anyways, pretty much any time I see trans people talk about that instance, they complain about all the transphobes that gather there (probably to be transphobic to trans people) and mods/admins do nothing about. If an instance is full of transphobia, seems pretty fair to call it transphobic instance.

      Is the unopposed transphobia in the room with us right now? I don’t see it in the meme communities I’m subscribed to there.

        I don’t really pay attention to which instance I’m in and don’t really see all the much transphobia in general, but like I also don’t read through the comments on the types of things that would attract transphobia (things like talks about banning trans people from participating in sports, for example - no meme communities). Just pointing out what the argument is of those who have beef with blajahzone.

            Seems like a weird schtick to post primary in trans communities just to make in 1 in 1000 comments a complaint about their own experiences in a specific community. But sure, you get to be the arbiter of who gets to count as real trans people.

          So trans people are actually the real transphobes, because real transphobes flock in to trans space to attack trans people… That’s some real sound ass backwards logic you got there, bigot (being trans doesn’t exclude you from lateral bigotry, which is what you are actively participating in).

      if you have damning evidence of blahaj’s unchecked transphobia, i suggest you post that rather than comparing the largest trans instance to the literal nazi party. otherwise put down the hearsay stick.

        I never compared blahaj instance to nazis. I compared the argument that the name having “blahaj” in it to meaning the instance is inherently free of transphobia to the stupid argument that having “socialist” in its name means nazis are socialists.

        I haven’t had any personal problems and certainly wouldn’t make sure a comparison. Also just realized why its seemed so dead: apparently they defederated with the instance I’m using recently. Seems like they’re at least trying something.

          cool. however you characterize what you are saying, don’t do it unless you have evidence.

            Evidence that many trans people feel they’ve experienced lots of transphobia there? Would be easy to find that, but I don’t care to do that for some off-hand comment. My point had nothing to do with blahaj itself, but rather about how common that opinion is from trans people.

      No, i wouldn’t. I was saying that lemmy.blahaj.zone is a trans (and lgbtq in general) inclusive instance.

      I must admit, i don’t know much about the userbase, so i’m not immediately doubting that it could have issues, or outright transphobia. I was just pointing out that the user in the image immediately accused the OP and the instance in general of being transphobic, despite the instance literally being for trans/lgbt+ people.

        It has nothing to do with “transphobia.” It’s just a way to slap a label on someone you disagree with, out of nowhere, to engage a tribal and reality-free way of thinking where they can be the good guy and you can be the bad guy.

            Fun fact you can fit a lighbulb into your mouth but cant get it back out without it breaking.

            Dislocation of the jaw and unhinging doesnt count, the snake people can go back to Reno where they belong.

            I am choosing to say insane nonsequiters for my own amusement.

              NGL, literal snake people from Reno would make for an excellent comic book, movie, or Fallout mod 😄

        I’ve probably only forgotten to take my HRT like a couple times in the last few months. I did accidentally miss my allergy medicine a couple days ago. Never have gotten any medication for ADHD though - my mom was against it when I was a toddler and a doctor tried to prescribe it and I haven’t bothered trying it on my own. Getting a new diagnosis as an adult seems annoying and expensive.
