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?

(if someone needs an image description, please ask)

    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.

      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
