If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls.

MODERATORS
If they were competent academics, they'd know the culture wars were manufactured, and to be aware that politicians can shape public discourse then disregard this and assume they must bow to and react to manufactured discourse is weird and illogical.
Absorbing your opponents positions isn't useful, especially when large swathes of your support is resisting the erosion of civil rights. You'd just erode your own support and suppress your own turnout.
