Since we have the new influx of folks, have to re-up Trans people were instrumental in Bluesky's early success and they form a part important part of the community This doesn't mean you can't think individual trans people are assholes, but we don't do transphobia here and you gotta get used to it
I'm imagining some poor unsuspecting child wandering in and asking "What do you mean? Which individual trans people are assholes?" immediately followed by a chorus of WE DON'T TALK ABOUT AEGIS, NO NO NO
Hear hear!
Also importantly. We don't engage transphobes or anybody else trying to stir up shit. No quote dunking or whatever. That's what they want. We block and move on.
