This community is housed on an instance run by two trans women, focused on the needs of the queer and gender diverse community.

We allowed 196 here because we were promised the community is queer and trans inclusive.

If you're here it's because you're aggressively supportive of trans folk. Not middle of the ground, not "just asking questions".

If your response to that is, "yes, but..." then this isn't the instance for you, and by extension, this isn't the community for you.

tl;dr - Unambiguous support and inclusion, or fuck off somewhere else.

Edit - I changed the phrase "aggressive support to "unambiguous support", as there was some confusion over the intent behind my previous phrasing.

I'm here because this showed up in all.

I don't "aggressively support" squat. I do stand up for life, liberty,and the pursuit of happiness. Someone being trans does not affect anyone's life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness until they get aggressive.

Why are you showing up in a comment section without having most of the context on a post that doesn't concern you or your communities? Legit asking, what is the point of this comment?

I did not join this community nor this server, it was thrust upon me.

I support trans rights, don't get me wrong.

I am just offended by a post thrust upon me and then they claim "this isn't the community for you". I DIDN'T JOIN THE DAMN COMMUNITY IN THR FIRST PLACE.

This is the weirdest complaint. The post showed up in your popular/active feed because it got popular/active. It wasn't targeted to you, and the poster was not addressing you. The post was clearly addressed to users who post on /c/196.

Being annoyed at how the service works is not a good reason to be combative with the poster, and it certainly isn't a good reason to share your opinions about trans folk being a problem when they get aggressive. Not adding up.

You know you can block a community right? And if it's not for you, you can just... not participate, too. It was "thrust upon you" in the same way that every other community in c/all is thrust upon you. You make the active choice of browsing non-curated content, then complain that it doesn't consider you?

Seriously, you're complaining about literally nothing. If you don't feel like this is for you, block it.
