Meanwhile I made a post on a relevant thread yesterday lamenting that I had to block ml grad and hex due to the numbers of feral tankies, and that sometimes you even get fully horseshoed anti LGBTQ communists… but I left all that shit behind 6 months ago.
Cue two ml users lambasting and moralizing me about how its really sick to make such false claims and promote a culture of dishonesty without links proving I’m not lying.
So, 1, I can’t link because I’m banned from the specific communities I saw that shit in and tussled with people in.
2, It was 6 months ago, but apparently the onus is now on me to go do all the work, otherwise I’m lying.
3: This fucking post exists.
Its continuously astounding to me that these people can do so much double think and brazenly use rhetorical tactics that have zero difference from what you encounter while attempting to explain to a MAGA cultist that the Storm is not going to happen or trying to explain to Ben Shapiro that brown people are not inherently inferior.
Turns out performative language policing does not equate to an actual effort against misogyny. Who could have guessed.
To their credit, they’re addressing it.
Except this is Tankie land so that means they will remove anything not in there limited political narrative
It appears this is evidence the limited political narrative will remove misogyny.
Misogyny and hexbear go hand in hand? I’m shocked. Shocked!
I’m new here. I don’t really know anything about the Lemmy devs.
But…that tweet is not particularly transphobic? I’m going to take a hard look at anyone who uses the phrase “the transgender topic”. But if that’s the best proof that the Lemmy devs are transphobic, it’s not terribly convincing.Not really sure how I misread the tweet.
The part about “allowing biological men to compete in women’s sports” confirms that “the transgender topic” is not just a sketchy phrasing.
I’m sorry, apparently I can’t read. I somehow glossed over that part. Thanks for the clarification.
Things like that get parroted as ‘common sense’ so often by conservatives and our brains tend to start ignoring it as obviously false. Then it becomes easy to not notice the same phrasing in other contexts, since we are used to actively dismissing that kind of bullshit.
The only thing I really saw was the talking point about amab people in women’s sports, but I don’t think that itself is enough to jump to transphobe, I’ve heard really good arguments and data for both sides of it. The hatred is the real problem (in that specific debate)
I’m not going to form a solid opinion about someone with one tweet. I will certainly keep an eye out for more information.
(I don’t think using Lemmy profits this person? I don’t know. I care much more about supporting someone who may be transphobic than just knowing they exist.)
“Biological male” is a meaningless term generally used by transphobes. And the whole debate is transphobic on its face. Nobody cares about women’s sports at all, and now people jumping to"defend their sanctity" are just goofy.
How is that transphobic? Im genuinely asking cos i dont see what ur talking about.
