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 glad yall posted this but I’m bummed it’s no longer “aggressive.” Anybody who pretends that the wording of “aggressive support” is concerning is probably afraid of triggering that aggression themselves… and they should be.
People were thinking that aggressive meant that they had to be explicitly active in trans spaces and talking about trans stuff. What I wanted to convey is that someone doesn’t have to talk about trans stuff to post here, but if they do talk about trans stuff, it needs to be unambiguously supportive.
I however remain aggressively supportive, and will continue to ban bigots, reply guys and “just asking question” dog whistlers as soon as they appear :)
