There is a spector haunting Lemmy, the spector of trans people that disagree with you.

Liberals on Lemmy are ridiculously fast to let fly all sorts of conspiracy theories if it means discrediting any trans people to the left of them. Worse still, is that this behaviour is reinforced by Lemmy mods, look at this ban Cowbee copped for the crime of being allegedly uncivil to this transphobe:

Every day, I’m glad for you fuckers building at least this tiny queer safespace on the internet. Death to the cis, etc.

    On the brightside, this absolute gem came out of it (no CW needed):

    “Cowbee isn’t just another tankie. He knows his theory and will use it to dazzle you with bullshit.”

      This has to be the greatest compliment a lib can give. “Do not trust this trickster spirit, they will use a vast knowledge ancient magicks to trick you into disagreeing with the US State Department”

        Truth be told I kinda hate that I’m getting some degree of enioyment out of the absolute terror I seem to strike in the hearts of the MWoG weirdos, when at the same time these people are genuinely defending and fighting for their rights to not only be transphobic, but enforce that.

        “Enemy is weak yet strong” shenanigans. I somehow have a multifaceted reputation as being “contradictory,” yet “knowing theory.” Some other banger responses to my ban:

        “Alright thanks good to know. Thank you for taking such action. I have rarely seen someone acting so innocent yet at the same time being so disingenuous.”

        Which part was disingenuous? I spent the majority of that thread calling out transphobia, do they think I did that for personal gain?

        “That guy is so annoying with his faux-neutrality/naivety. What a phony, good riddance.”

        From the same person that went on a Sephiroth rant about how Hexbear is bigoted, then ran to MWoG to

        CW: Transphobia

        Complain about a conspiracy theory of Russia and China “transing the youths” to create radicals against the United States.

        Incredibly, deeply unserious people.
