      Yes, they are one of the few people who make big decisions when it comes to the development of Lemmy, and if they do it with bias they can cause problems for the rest of us. Especially since Sublinks is basically dead, no new development happening there. Lemmy is all we have right now, so we’re stuck with it until something else with a Lemmy-compatible DB comes along.

    I though that the LGBTQ+ community was supported by the entire left wing spectrum including the far left. Was I mistaken? Also, the notion that trans people are “bourgeoisie” seems to be contradictory considering that, historically, the LGBTQ+ community have lived on the margins of society including western societies.

    Bourgeoisie are not hive mind. Some of them are anti trans like Elon Musk. Some are pro trans. There is even one trans billionaire.

    Pushed by the Bourgeois? Gosh I wish. The reason why trans people have rights is due to years of activism and science. (And the warning power of the church)

    The Bourgeois have been trying to stuff us down forever. You saw how fast some corporations dropped their LGBT flags at the first sign of trouble. They don’t care about it

    “The bourgeois simultaneous pushing both sides of an issue to divide the working class? Nah, seems far fetched.”

    Also, secretly? The worst thing about transphobes is their constant need to be the centre of attention.

    Really pisses me off the whole “males competing in female sports” comment from transphobes because it’s just so fucking sexist as well as transphobic.

    They clearly look down on the female gender as the “weaker” gender as though they pose no threat. Like at least be consistent in your transphobia ffs.

    @nutomic@lemmy.ml Got anything to say about this buddy? Don’t say it was taken out of context, there isn’t any context that makes this shit better, and your rant about trans women in sports and how you think institutionalized transphobia is “far fetched” wasn’t even on topic there.

    Can I just point out that he is almost certainly referencing the boxer that is definitely a cis female according to everyone but a organization that was removed from being in control of boxing because they did shady shit and won’t say why they think she’s not cis.

    EDIT: CIA --> cis fucking terrible autocorrect.

      if he’s referring to that, he’s most likely pushing this line because Russia controls that fake boxing association

      It’s possible, though it’s also possible he’s referencing any instance of a trans woman winning at all. As is common for transphobes who wish to gatekeep trans people from sports.

    Nutomic is entitled to his opinion.

    People will sometimes see things differently. This does not necessarily make them wrong or bad.
