This community is housed on an instance run by two trans women, focused on the needs of the queer and gender diverse community.

We allowed 196 here because we were promised the community is queer and trans inclusive.

If you’re here it’s because you’re aggressively supportive of trans folk. Not middle of the ground, not “just asking questions”.

If your response to that is, “yes, but…” then this isn’t the instance for you, and by extension, this isn’t the community for you.

tl;dr - Unambiguous support and inclusion, or fuck off somewhere else.

Edit - I changed the phrase "aggressive support to “unambiguous support”, as there was some confusion over the intent behind my previous phrasing.

    Trans people are regular, real people. Like my college friend. Or my wife’s HS friend. Or that one kind soul I worked with once.

    I’m so god damn sick of all the hatred and lies and bullshit and murder and sadistic laws against trans people.

    I loudly applaud any space that actively supports trans people and gives them a place free from hatred and assholes.

    Trans women are women. Girldick is best dick.

      Can you explain the girldick thing? I’m a transman and that comes off as one of the many things that are low key alienating in expressions of support, but it’s possible I’m just mistaken.

        I’m not the person you were seeking clarification from but I took her comment to mean that she is a cis woman that’s sexually attracted to women, but also enjoys P.I.V. sex. Therfore she would be happy to discover that a woman she is attracted to has a penis.

        That’s just my interpretation though.

          How far removed from the instigating post is that? It doesn’t seem all that different if we’re immediately diving into fuckables and unfuckables.

            I think you’re saying I didn’t help you understand her position, fair enough.

            I mean this post is a place to voice support for the trans community and she said she likes having lesbian sex with trans women. I don’t think the statement was meant to support trans men, just trans women. Trans women tend to be the focus of a lot of the conversation. I think trans men and trans women have different experiences with transphobia and need different supports. If you’d like to talk about your feelings I’d be interested to learn.

            But also, she’s a lesbian so again it’s not too surprising that she would center women in her comment.

            I’m a cis het man that wants to support you. It occurs to me that the less time men spend thinking and talking about lesbian sex, the better adjusted they are. So I’m going to excuse myself from this conversation. Good luck out there man. I’m pulling for ya.

        The original reference (which triggered the OP to post) is a cis man saying he wouldn’t sleep with a pre op trans woman.

        He said something along the lines that girldick is disgusting, I’m saying it’s hot.

        If that’s problematic I can delete (not sure how that works on lemmy though). I would rather hear it from a trans woman though. If you want to discuss, go for it.

    Trans rights are women’s rights.

    Trans rights are men’s rights.

    Trans rights are human rights.

    If you believe otherwise, you’re doing nothing less than questioning the basic humanity of Trans people. And you can fuck right off.

    It’s comforting to know that this community is intolerant of transphobia
