also how many of our mods are trans? its definitely a lot of them. ive seen some misinformation on /r/traa that this place is transphobic, which is insane to me, ive been here since the beginning and im trans myself and i consider this to be one of the most trans positive places on the internet. no other social media site ive seen has built in pronoun features, and i have seen the mods ban people for using wrong pronouns and even the smallest implications of transphobia. honestly, its more trans positive than some explicitly transgender subreddits due to how active the mods are and how quick they are to delete posts and ban transphobes
Who is calling us transphobic?
Libs on reddit who say tankie
everyone who isnt a liberal is transphobic -says the transphobic liberal
That's horrible, because reddit libs are the most important and always correct people on the internet,
it was like a year or so ago, it was someone who said they were trans talking about some things, like the aforementioned default of calling pregnant people mothers, which is transphobic. I don't think it's my place as a cis individual to weigh in on the better or worse kinds of transphobe, but from others it seems like these were mostly on the lesser scale of offenses, and we are leagues better than anywhere else on the internet except some places that are designed just for trans people.
And even then many of those places aren't as zealous with the banhammer, so many transphobes post in those communities and manipulate votes (as a result of how reddit is made) for a long time. Hexbear removed down votes purely because trans members were being secretly downvoted by brigaders regularly. More proof that it is actively by trans people's side, so much so that the devs will change the code and core functions of the site to help trans people here
