Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn’t going to result in any action, so I’m wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?

OK that’s the last straw for me. I am willing to give the benefit of a doubt to people, but this is the third strike for this person. So I’ve asked them to move their comm to another instance as they don’t align with our instance values.
Well done
Fantastic to hear, thank you!
Based db0 as always.
Another victory for the peoples court, hear hear
Well done. I appreciate the fuck out of this place.
I mean, serious question. Is the goal to produce a pure echo chamber where no dissent arises? How far does this go. It seems like the end result of this is 5-10 large groups of peeps who have “aligned values” that can endlessly reinforce each other. I have a MAGA chud relative that spouts all kinds of nonsense. Is the best thing to literally exorcise this person from my life? I don’t know that a lot of identity driven silos is really all that healthy either.
Yes people should be safe, but that doesn’t necessarily imply that no one EVER disagrees with them does it?
Tolerance of intolerance is how intolerance prospers.
Bigotry is not a matter of opinion, it is one of hate.
Right, but that involves you holding the definition of bigotry as objective truth. You don’t think that anyone can have a good faith contrarian opinion to your values? I mean, life is complicated. People are complicated and come from a bunch of different communities or backgrounds. Do you think they should just bow down before your assessment, or do you think there should be some wiggle room to convince people of your ideas.
This is clearly a bad faith argument and I won’t enter into debate with someone who is defending a transphobe. My right to exist is not on the table, and that you’d defend the right to of someone who would advocate otherwise to do so says a lot about your priorities.
Do better.
Clearly bad faith? Curious what you mean.
your liberty to swing your fist ends just where my nose begins
the same goes with opinions: opinions are valid until they start negatively effecting other people
transphobia is transphobia and hurts people. having transphobic opinions shut down hurts nobody
If that Maga chud kept repeating talking points about how people like you don’t deserve human rights and actually managing to strip you of some, would you excise them or politely debate them?
Not every idea deserves a debate

They are arguing that they have said nothing wrong because men are not allowed in women’s spots… ugh
Yeah, that person is a transphobe and a sealion, and there is absolutely no point in providing them any leeway or platform to spew their bigotry from.
Yeah, people are so weird.
Transphobes can get wrecked.
We’d better do our best to ruin these people because they don’t agree with us. No tolerance for the intolerant! Everyone who doesn’t immediately sign up for our beliefs, must be intolerant, by definition. Burn em all!!!

There’s a difference between tolerating someone’s beliefs and immediately adopting them as your own. Just because someone doesn’t share your beliefs, does not mean they are being intolerant.
ruin these people
Get some perspective, mate
You’re right; I didn’t really mean it in the context of “ruin their lives” but my cat started barfing on the floor mid-typing and I had to chase the little plastic demon away and got distracted and then I slipped on a banana peel and it slid me a minimum of three metres in a single direction and then I hit a bookcase and a dusty tome landed in front of me (in front have me?) and opened on a very auspicious page. Very auspicious indeed, for it cast a magical spell that turned me into a newt. It got better, though. Anyway, I digress.
Why don’t we just make a trans league so we can just stop talking about this with anyone ever again?
Also, does a person who has gone through male puberty before transition not have at least some advantage in certain areas due to bone structure alone? I understand that trans girls who pre-empt puberty are likely physically equivalent to their cisgendered peers, but I have my reservations about integrating people who transition later in life. If I’m wrong, I would love to see any studies anyone may want to share.
EDIT: I am wrong, thank you flamingembers and southsamurai. I would also like to apologize for the wording of this post. My original thought was that trans women who previously went through male puberty may have an advantage in some areas due to a potential wider skeletal structure in their upper bodies as compared to cisgendered peers. I did let my (unfounded on research!) opinion creep into that too much, and I do understand why that would leave a bad taste in the mouth of anyone who knows better.
The evidence clearly contradicts the thinking that my original post was based upon - there was no area studied where trans women had an advantage. On top of that, it also appears trans women can’t even intake as much oxygen as cis women - which would already offset any size differences even if trans women were bigger and stronger on average (they aren’t).
This isn’t news to anyone educated, but I wanted to edit this comment so that any transphobes upvoting my post due to having the same flavor of ignorance that they do understand that I do not agree with them, and I am not trying to propagate their views.
There aren’t enough trans people to have our own league. Also separate but equal is not an ethical solution.
No, they are not at an advantage https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/rcna148437
You’re right, that is an unrealistic solution. I’ve never been interested in sports, so I admit I didn’t really put much thought into that. I guess, in my mind, trans people in sports is one of the less dire issues we face today. But, I should acknowledge that there are trans people whose life revolves around sports, and I appreciate you framing it the way it is: separate but ‘equal.’ That really adds a stark perspective to it that I admittedly had not considered.
Thank you so much for linking research, I’ll read that right now.
EDIT: I didn’t read the article, I clicked their link to the study and read the abstract and data. So, if I’m reading the data correctly, the only factor measured where trans athletes have an advantage is the slightly higher grip strength of trans women? Just making sure I’m interpreting that correctly. Thank you so much for sending that my way.
It’s worth keeping in mind that the issue was entirely manufactured so that they could turn the public against trans people.

That’s good to know, thank you for this!
What a great fucking read. Really helped open my eyes to how this sports issue is used to dehumanize us. I really appreciated how she laid out the logical next steps after a trans sports ban, and how it’s inevitably leveraged to take away more and more of our rights. I’ll definitely be following her articles to keep myself informed.
Side Note: Is that journalist Zoey Zephyr’s wife? I feel like I recognize her face.
Yep, you’re absolutely right!
separate but equal is not an ethical solution
But isn’t this how sport already is? Do you think gender restrictions should be removed from sport altogether?
I don’t think a trans-only league makes any sense, but I’m just curious about your stance.
Are black people forced to play in their own separate league? Why not?
No they aren’t, but there is a separate women’s league for most sports. So again, I’m wondering if you find that unethical?
What’s your goal here
? I was confused by your statement “separate but equal is not ethical” because it’s what we already do in sports, so I wanted to ask about it. I already stated that I don’t think a separate league for trans people is a good idea, if that’s why you are refusing to answer me.
Why is it unethical to separate sports leagues by race

I’m not debating anything! I admit I don’t know which is why I was asking for information! I see that OP links to research in the screenshot, but I can’t see any links for me to click in this crosspost OR the original post! I said my opinion and welcomed facts to prove me wrong, and at no point have I tried to argue I’m correct! You’re right, there is no debate, I’m not trying to debate! But I figured someone, maybe even OP, would at least link the studies from the screenshot. Especially since I don’t know what community the discussion originally happened in!
Maybe the wording of my post drew some ire, and for that I apologize. But I sincerely think that having a misinformed opinion is not cause to shame someone, especially if they’re literally asking for information! If you think that all I’m going to do when I see the studies is call them bullshit, that’s fine, I get it. The internet is hostile and there are bad actors everywhere trying to get people to waste time and energy. But are you seriously going to just shit on me for being ignorant and just tell me “uhhh stop it dumbass” without even trying to educate? I get that I have internalized transphobia… kinda comes with the territory of being a rural trans woman. I just thought this would be the fucking space to ask.
