thoughts on lgbt community of saidit?

submitted by verminsupreme from self.LGBT

Out of all the refugee camps I've been to, Saidit looks to be the lesser of the echo chambers. I'm excited to see there's at least a few of us here, however I think it's safe to assume we can anticipate tensions between the GC community and ours. I fully support their right to speak, but I question if they will feel the same towards us?

I think we just need a medium level field. If cis-lesbians want to talk about cis-lesbian shit they should be able to without tran-lesbian shouting about how they exist too. Like, if a thread doesn't involve you, just lurk. I think that was a major problem within the r/lgbt and r/actuallesbians. People need to stay in their lanes, cis shouldnt tell trans how to live and vice-visa.

It seems nonexistent so far. I just hope GC doesn't steamroll this sub.

I mainly spent most of my time on r/TrollGC, but from some r/LGBDropTheT comments, it appears that r/GenderCritical wasn't all "fluffy happiness" and that it had a lot more in common than the community would like to admit with the "TRA's" that they hated a lot. I kind of started realizing that GC culture was basically the inverse of the "kill all TERF's" culture to an extent a few months before the massive banwave happened.

If the administrators aren't overwhelmed by the amount of reports, I think that the lgbt subsaidit will be fine, as name-calling is pretty low on the pyramid of debate. If the administrators aren't overwhelmed by the amount of reports.

TRAs and TERFs are two authoritarian leftist factions who deserve each other.

Yeah, as much as I hate to say it, I'm gonna need to elaborate more on how "TRAs and TERFs are two authoritarian leftist factions who deserve each other.". I'll elaborate on my original post, too: When radical feminists talk about how transgender people are just mentally ill freaks that want to get into women's spaces which would be bad for women that have PTSD or something of the sort from sexual assault, they don't mention that PTSD is also a mental disorder and would probably cause the same women to peg normal interactions with people that just happen to male to have a much higher risk of rape than they actually would have.

What I'm curious about is how community subs will evolve - like how s/GenderCritical has already been made restrictive and ban-hammer-prone in exchange for removing themselves from s/all. Their description does say that they will create a proper GC debate community however.

I wonder if we'll start seeing subs appear in pairs: one being a restrictive, community-focused sub and the other being the open, debate-oriented sub (or perhaps subs that focus on the debate between two communities like r/GCdebatesQT instead of broad categories that would be something like r/debateGC).

Is writing substanceless comments with slurs in them your new hobby? I'm sure a dick in your ass would be much more wholesome and enjoyable my dude.

As dumb as the comment you're replying to was, I don't think it's a good idea to drop down to their level.

I moved here from Reddit, and I totally forgot what it was like to read threads on uncensored platforms. Thank you for adding that authentic shitposting imageboard vibe, that too many of us take for granted.

TL;DR Speak your truth, you crayon-eating little rascal.

There is an unfortunate amount of transphobic people here, but they can be easily ignored.
