Hi! Trans person here. Your heart is in the right place, but this post is poorly written. You haven't even given examples of how this is currently/could be applied. Some people are just that uneducated about trans people. If they're leading questions that invalidate us, sure. But otherwise what's the harm? For 196 there's no reason to ask about that stuff but the whole instance?? Your call in the end but I can think of a few ways this could go bad just from prior experience in other communities.
196

Other 196's:
Not on your instance but it's so good to see unequivocal inclusion and support for the trans community. There should be no room for bigotry of any kind.
I support!
Genuinely thank you. This community just existing as it does has already helped me a fucking weird amount.
Full support here 🏳️⚧️
But muh discussion with both sides! 🤨🤔 That's not very tolerant of you, guess we know whose the real baguette now. 😤
Trans rights!
Fuck yeah 🏳️⚧️
You tell em Ada!
Yes, but….I don’t even know what 196 is. It shows up on my feed and is sometimes funny. I’m just clueless, not a bigot.
196 is a random content community with the simple rule of "post before you leave", so its filled with memes ^.^
It's also a very trans friendly place. But there was a thread recently with a bunch of "just asking questions", and "trans people are just oversensitive", and "I'm not a bigot, but most trans woman have a chip on their shoulder so I am no longer friends with them" kinda stuff, on a post a (trans) mod made complaining about people reporting a pretty questionable comment.
Even if people disagreed over the original comment, the thread about it ended up being transphobic as fuck.
So presumably the admins of lemmy.blahaj.zone (a trans-run instance, who host this, main, c/196 community, on the promise it would be very trans supportive) noticed the lack of moderation of that transphobic thread and are doing something about it ^.^
Basically, if you're not in their bubble of bullies they'll bully you out of the instance and you don't even need to be offensive for that.
^ does not have context, doesn't care, only wants to be mad
Congrats.
(If you do have context, that's even worse lmao a good amount of the comments were pretty clear-cut)
Be friend of Blåhaj
I used to be on the original 196 two years ago, cause it really was 99% supportive. But it has simply devolved into fetishization over time.
I’ll aggressively guzzle to that
I only saw this post because its on all
Maybe you dont want to be on all if this is your stance
Edit. The tone above is not hostile or pithy. I thought there was a dont show this community on all option. I have been informed that it isnt a toggle or opt out feature.
I apologize for any confusion my comment caused.
Why are you here?
