Do you allow transphobic mods?
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)
You're viewing a single thread.
OK that's the last straw for me. I am willing to give the benefit of a doubt to people, but this is the third strike for this person. So I've asked them to move their comm to another instance as they don't align with our instance values.

The right call.
Well done!
Fantastic. We can only hope that the lemm.ee team take a similar stance against this user, but I won't hold my breath.
They already posted on !fediverse@lemmy.world asking for a new instance, so I guess they know that lemm.ee won't allow it.
Just checked, from the sidebar "No bigotry"
Wahey, good riddance! Thanks for the update.
Please explain what I've said that is bigoted? I would go .ee but they don't allow bot majority communities (I have got an exception for that but I'm checking out the options first).
Assuming you're genuinely uninformed and confused, trans women do not have any advantages over cis women if they've been on HRT. The lack of testosterone affects the body dramatically. You can see evidence of this in the fact that trans women aren't dominating any of the competitions which have allowed them.
Furthermore, sports were never fair in the first place. Some people are more naturally gifted in various areas than others. There are actually cis female athletes who have been forced to medically lower their natural testosterone levels in the name of fairness, and that's some Harrison Bergeron shit.
if they have been on HRT
This might actually be the most important thing here: I have no idea how youth sports handle things (and under the current fascist climate competing as a trans athlete surely is nearly impossible), but if they were to compete without HRT they might have an advantage (in specific sports)?
It's such a small if combination of things that it's not worth making a fuss over about, but it might be the one case where it could be true?
It depends on where the kids are in their development. AFAB and AMAB kids are functionally identical until puberty starts. A trans child should, imo, be allowed puberty-prevention treatments so that they can choose what kind of puberty they'd like to have when they're older. And that's sure as heck not doing anyone favors in the athletics department.
True, and absolutely they should be allowed puberty-prevention treatments
No the most important thing is that the government has no business getting involved in policing young girls bodies in order for them to be allowed to go have some fun with their friends and team mates on the field.
High school sports donβt even need to be that competitive to begin with. Itβs not a professional league.
In your attempt to problematize 1% of 1% of 1% of the population here, when school admins and doctors are fully capable of handling it themselves, conservatives are running roughshod over the humanity of every cis girl with broad shoulders, every cis girl with a hormonal issue like PCOS, every cis girl whoβs period gets delayed because sheβs athletic, etc.
Those are the vast majority of victims who are harmed by the type of thinking youβre intellectualizing over here. Cis girls. Who now will be forced to prove their bodies are acceptably feminine in order to play.
Of course theyβre doing all that to trans girls too but nobody cares about that. So as a trans woman I tell you: go ahead and do it I dare you.
Replace 'trans' with any other group, does it sound bigoted to you now? It reads like 'we can't have black girls compete with white girls because of the clear advantage in physicality' you know, the common racist talking point of old?
OK let's replace trans with another group let's use men as an example. "We can't have men compete with women because of the clear advantage in physicality" is this sentence fine?
No. Look into the history of the first woman to run the Boston Marathon and how people believed that the jostling of the running would kill a woman. That is the world that allowed women's sports only as it's own category. Some sports like tennis it might make sense on a competitive compromise. But to apply that thinking to high-school sport, which is more about community than competition, it is just clear exclusion.
What clear advantage? Men and women on average have different body structures, yes. That might favour one in one sport and one in another. The blanket statement "men have a clear advantage in every sport over women" is BS.
That would be a stupid thing to say. Except your the only one who said it cos I sure as shit didn't say every.
Nice strawman.
It's just so mind-boggling to me that you can respond to my statement with no critical thinking at all. Do you not even consider the possibility that you could be wrong? I can't even process that level of arrogance.
I absolutely contemplated the the situation that I could be wrong I then went and read a bunch of peer reviewed journals on the subject including ones sent to me by people here on Lemmy. Then based on reading those articles concluded that I was not wrong.
You my friend are the one too arrogant to contemplate if you are wrong.
Well, if you read "a bunch" of articles seen by a "peer" I guess I was wrong, good point.
But also, how gross to round about just say that trans women are men... ΰ² _ΰ²
What .ee rule have I broken? I haven't said anything hatefull. Do u enjoy silencing opinions u disagree with?
You haven't shared any opinions - just hateful falsehoods and bigotry.
Some folk learnt that free and open discourse is the real enemy, and go harder than Scientologists against anyone they percieve as disagreeing with them
I agree. We're talking about Elon Musk, right?
I reckon so; I'm not a fan of intolerance
