    Look, I admire c/egg_irl and the safe space you’ve made there, but trying to control speech of other queers under some notion of a moral cause is unbelievably spooked. It’s how a queer orthodoxy gets made, and we fall into a carefully set trap made by conservative propaganda and religious bullshit.

      You know what’s really conservative and “spooked”? Inturpretting a movement to respect the gender identity of other people as an attempt to control their speech.

        I agree, what they’re saying reeks of that garbage “Freeze Peach” bullshit, and trying to argue for the right to misgender others in privately owned spaces.

          That’s one of the most bad faith statements I’ve heard in a while. You’re basically saying that any attempt to silence people who happen to be queer, even if they are saying legitimately hurtful things, is wrong and makes you conservative. This isn’t true though. In fact, lemmy.blahaj.zone’s admins are more than happy to ban people if they are harmful, gatekeep people’s identities, or intentionally spread queerphobia themselves, and it doesn’t matter if they are queer or not.

          Are you trying to say that horrible people should be allowed here just because they’re queer? Because that makes no sense, this place (Blahaj) being a safe space means that all harmful speech and content is removed, not just from non-queer people.

            You talk big for a non-admin. Besides, bullying others for having different opinions on queerness is stupid, and I’m tired of safe spaces being a bat to beat people with - when we’re not even in c/egg_irl in the first place. Go mod your community how you want, don’t try and attack me because I’m not following your moral standards.

              No one is bullying or attacking you, we’re calling you out for making shitty bad faith arguments about free speech and also refusing to acknowledge or respect this instance’s rules on misgendering others and gatekeeping. Which by the way, the Egg Prime directive is only an extension of.
