People who harass our trans members in DMs?

People who insist, in bad faith, that there isn't any transphobia because they don't personally see it?

People who get foaming-at-the-mouth angry at new efforts to root out transphobia?

We're better off without them.

This site gets with worse with every trans user who leaves because of transphobia, and I hope that we can make this a site where that no longer happens.

    Yup and yup. Ironically, I was initially salty over the removal of downvotes, until I pondered it and realized I was being reactionary. When people say "it's just a shitposting site" I feel like they often really mean "I should be able to say whatever I want without consequences". Like even if it's just a shitposting site, does that really mean we shouldn't try to make it less toxic to marginalized comrades? Smh

      Taking a cue from the adage "ironic shitposting is still shitposting", harmful shitposting is still harmful. We can still shitpost without bigotry.
