I have a question:

If I make comments that are hostile to the notion that people can be “transgender,” even without targeting a particular person, will I be banned here?

For example, if I say that it is not logically possible to be “trans,” will I be banned?

I’ve been banned like 10 times from Reddit for this, so I’m curious about here.

    Depends on the instance. Only the instance admin can ban your account entirely, and you can in principle just make one on another one. You can of course also get banned by mods from the communities they manage. So if you walk into most places on here that are on-track with the reality of human rights, and say shit like that, yeah, you’ll get the boot. Being this wrong about something like that makes it pretty warranted in the places on here that will give you the boot. Which is most of them. Go find some corner with people like you, and stay in it, please.

      So, if I understand correctly, the only acceptable viewpoint on discussion about “trans” issues, is to affirm that it is possible to be “trans.” And if I don’t agree, then I will be banned for hate speech?

      Is that the long and short of it?

        Yes., we’d have to keep it a safe space for our members. You can’t deny the existence of millions of people just because, for some reason, you disagree with how they view and know themselves.

    Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a group that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of any other group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you you will be banned on sight.

    I suspect you will be labeled as “sympathetic to groups known to discriminate against a group of people”, so yes, you will likely be banned from this particular community.
