I haven’t checked Lemmy for a long time but I wanna get off Reddit again, yet I still need to know how many users are on here. Which lemmy instances are suitable to me, the most popular, and which ones to avoid? For context, im queer, anarchist with DemSoc leaning, and environmentalist. Is there a comprehensive list of all the instances and their main functions? Is the instance I’m on still workable? Any feedback would help, thx. <3

    it’s cause you said I wasn’t really trans until I showed you literal proof; and still you call me ‘trans’ in scare quotes. People can still be trans without being on meds, I know more than enough homeless or tenuously housed trans girls who struggle to keep their prescriptions filled regularly- or at all. Guess what, plenty of them wouldn’t agree with your politics either. Doesn’t make them no longer trans.

    Deciding that you’re the cis arbiter of who’s trans and who isn’t does make you a transphobe though.

    No, I don’t accept the bottle of estrogen and sticky note your friend sent you

    I could fucking fully dox myself and transphobes like you would still make up some bullshit to not believe me

    death to america

      Yes, yes, spout off as if you’re on stage — your virtue means you’re very believable.

      When did I decide I’m the arbiter of who is and isn’t trans? I’m accusing you of lying, dipshit, I didn’t make you a paragon of your people*.

      Meanwhile, we have an entire thread of you continually admitting you’re trans and saying death to America. I wonder whose rhetoric harms trans people more?

      Of course that’s rhetorical, you think you speak for every trans person in existence! Simple because you’re trans. Odd how that looks, isn’t it?

        I don’t speak for every trans person, however you deciding that i’m not ‘really’ trans because you don’t like my opinions does make you a transphobe.

        idk why I give fash like you the time of day

        death to america btw

          No I’ve decided you’re not trans because you’re a proven liar, but you’ve already established that you struggle with context. Multiple times, actually — very common affliction amongst pathological liars.

            I’m trans too and I’m gonna chime in and add to the chorus that you’re definitely being transphobic. Just reading the exchange between you and Diva and I am coming to the conclusion that it is transphobic to decide someone is or isn’t trans. You don’t get to decide who is or isn’t trans. It’s despicable behavior and deeply offensive considering how so many trans people constantly have to prove their existence to transphobes online and irl. You should be ashamed of yourself. You’re part of the problem.

              Holy fuck, I can say anything I want — if I call you a velociraptor, you’re a god damn velociraptor as far as I’m concerned.

              This has nothing to do with transphobia, it has everything to do with obnoxious blowhards masquerading as trans people while saying shit like ‘death to America’. Fuck you if that’s what you believe, you can call me transphobic all you want.

              Very compelling cultist, you’ve done your duty.

              You’ve earned your suckle from the teet of insert .ml power user here.

            I literally showed you a photo of my estrogen vial with a note I wrote myself, telling you by username to fuck off.

            you’re pretty clearly a transphobe and accusing me of lying about being trans is just what you pivoted to after calling me a troglodyte and dehumanizing me. You seem like a disgusting person and the fact that you allegedly show your many trans ‘friends’ your internet comments for validation is beyond pathetic. Like I said if someone like you asked me irl about validating their transphobic comments online I would say anything that gets you to go away without further agitating you.

              Wait wait, accusing someone of being a liar on the internet makes me a transphobe?

              God damn, what world do you live in? Oh, right, one where your ideology will surely rise from the ashes. Genuinely smagbrained troglodyte.

              Edit: Oh, I never said that I’d already shown this thread to my trans friends. I said I’d already shown the thread that you cherrypicked from to my trans friends. None of them are awake right now, give me a couple hours — I’ll have a borderline exact recreation of your picture for you. If I bother to go that far, truth be told — proving a cultist wrong means next to nothing.
