    Blahaj is trans inclusive, but Lemmy isn’t. Even in this thread, the Blahaj mods have had to remove comments by people from other instances. Drag thought 196’s users could agree that Lemmy at large is a lot less welcoming than Blahaj.

    And drag doesn’t think there are any trolls who pretend to be respectful trans people. But there are people who think drag is a troll pretending to be a respectful trans people. They think being trans is an effective troll because they hate trans people. As you say, it doesn’t make much sense, except from a transphobic point of view.

    Today drag will post another meme that drag hopes will explain more.

      I don’t really agree about the idea of Lemmy as a whole being any less inclusive than any other corner of the internet. If anything, I would say it is slightly more inclusive (though some of it definitely is not genuine, like the entire instance that will go full white knight mode).

      The example, and what went on in the comments here is my first experience with this particular brand of transphobia. I’ve honestly had to do almost zero moderation in the trans focused community I made.

      The amount of blatant hate that has been thrown my way (threatening and insulting DMs etc) has been about proportional to the user base here.

      I’m sorry that drag has been the target of this kind of garbage, and thanks for making me aware of it. I hope drag keeps up the fight and doesn’t let people get drag down.
