Most people who are transphobic know what they are doing, I'm certain the people I saw do. They're not going to change, they need to be given the boot to protect our communities from becoming Nazi bars.

Yeah, we need more instances to do this. People who undermine our right to exist represent an existential threat to our existence. No matter how innocuous it seems at first glance.

Most of those people are on big general purpose instances hiding in the shadows, instead of hanging out on Nazi instances so defederation doesn't really help. Hopefully more people from lemmy.blahaj.zone can go through the general communities on lemmy.world and the like and report as many of those users as possible so they can be banned from their instance. Though it also does feel like a bandaide fix, we need bigger instances to cooperate on these issues, otherwise it's not actually solved, just hidden for one side. We need lemmy.world's admins to ban a lot of these people, so they'll be banned everywhere, not just on specific servers. Banning them from the communities on those instances so they can't post on them at all anymore. Not just making their transphobic garbage hidden.

That's good, the more who receive the reports the better, and the more likely it is something will be done.

Will it reach the admins there if I'm on a different instance? I'm not exactly sure how reports federate but I heard admins on other servers can't see them, or won't always see them.

I will definitely report it more often when I see it.

Sure I can provide some examples:

I just wish they wouldn't force their gender and pronouns onto other people

Translation: Doesn't believe trans people are valid and doesn't think people should respect our preferred pronouns

I just think that they need to keep it to themselves and leave kids out of it

Translation: Doesn't believe we should exist in public, that we are a threat to children by virtue of being transgender.

It's important to protect women's spaces

Translation: Trans women shouldn't be allowed to use the same spaces cis women use

There's also more subtle ones such as people referring to cis women as real women, or referring to the transgender movement as gender ideology. The first one is wrong because trans women are real women, and the second one is wrong because transgender isn't a religion or organization like a church. They are calling it an ideology so they can pretend there is an institution to fight against, in reality transgender people just exist and want to live our lives.

I know, I'm subscribed to many of their communities already, they are some of the nicest people I've met on the fediverse. If I was going to recommend my friends join Lemmy I would recommend they join lemmy.blahaj.zone. However even though there are good instances which are safe spaces it doesn't detract from the problem, since they will still use the federated general communities and thus will still encounter those problems. Even if they're on the friendly insances, the problem gets federated.

That's why it is important to address transphobia in the fediverse as a whole, having safe spaces help but we should expect a level of common decency in any community. Not just in the trans-specific communities.

I'm not sure how relevant that is, considering most of the accounts I've seen doing this are from lemmy.world, I've seen some doing it from .ml but most are from .world.

Most of the people exhibiting the transphobic traits and behaviors I've mentioned had @lemmy.world extensions on their account. I saw only a few from lemmy.ml doing it, and essentially no hexbears doing it at all.

(I wish they'd let me get it 😭, well at least mine is much smaller than it was before I started estrogen)

Well you have to look to a source to buy Estrogen and blockers grey-market, can be hard since it's... well it's a grey area. There's more to it than that but that's the hard part.
