Ok well here I go playing devils advocate again. There is a lot of discussions on trans issues on this site and there are more than a few times where I have seen transphobia being accepted by the instance. I stumbled across a post on grad that was quite literally saying that trans issues where invented by the bourgeoisie to incite conflict in the lower class and people were agreeing with the post.
I am not saying that it is everywhere and there are a lot of very accepting people but if you see enough posts like that in a short period of time it could very well colour your perception of lemmy negatively.
I don't get how people can still say that someone might be overreacting when we litterally sent an innocent man to a work camp and said "oops can't get him back"
The Rubicon is miles behind us at this point. Either prepare for war or prepare to flee.
