I’m calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/Beaver@lemmy.ca, the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.

@dessalines@lemmy.ml @JoeBidet@lemmy.ml @cypherphunks

edit: you can find more info from kristinas post here and beavers post here

edit 2: proof, also beaver was banned from the whole instance modlong

edit 3: For trans people looking for a safer instance, I suggest Hexbear. They have a very active trans user base and are extremely supportive.

    where trans is seen as a mental disease

    Until extremely recently that was also the case in the states, as in, before informed consent became a thing I couldn’t get HRT without a doctors note saying I’m mentally ill and fuckable enough, and even then it was sterilization first and having to pay out of pocket for tons of shit.

    Also Iran post islamic revolution was one of the few places you can get a binary transition- it’s still pretty fucked up, but not a death sentence by any measure.

    I wish that Russia was less shitty about being trans so I could visit family more safely, it’s not been made better by having my identity turned into a cultural wedge issue.

      Yeah but today I’m staying in Europe, and would prefer USA over Russia or Iran.

      Shame about Iran, it was so west before the take over.

        I think you misunderstood me, after the islamic revolution they allowed for binary transitions. edit: citation

        I’m sure that you would, I’m just letting you know as a trans person that the US has been pretty shit for quite some time unless you have money. Even in blue states employment discrimination is rampant and I literally know people being forced to move to less-safe states because they can’t afford to live in blue states.

        Seeing that in my everyday life while the US poses as some sort of monolithic protector of LGBT rights is just insulting.
