Yeah I spotted that dickhead a bit ago, hasn't said anything overtly transphobic yet but it wouldn't surprise me if I come back later to find something more blunt

Thank you - and no donations or patreon etc., just doing this because it's for the community and that's enough for me

Those waffles look as bad as your posting ability

Love that the lack of safety for trans people on here is a fucking punchline to Jay

A bluesky conversation. Jay makes some generic point about making a less confrontational social media platform, using the waffle/pancakes meme. A user rightly asks if they have banned Jesse Singal yet. Jay replies with "waffles".

Think this one might be a genuine ask checking the profile

They're making a joke about "dignity and respect" being used to cover for transphobia, not transphobic themselves.

Avoid being added to a transphobia blocklist with this one neat trick!

King of the Road @hedgehogsafety.bsky.social · 14d

If you're being transphobic in order to be racist it doesn't make it any better! This should be common sense really

The lovely bluesky user who posted this at me did it to defend an "ally" who was joking about the hypothetical deaths of trans people in Gaza btw

Sorry for having standards lol

You have people on your list who aren't even close to what you're saying they are. Weaponizing lists for harassment & bullying. Not surprised

Also digging into the root of the conversation, the number of transphobes the OP follows is ridiculous. Clearly calling out that form of bigotry in his mutuals is an utter lie.

They could have the best community guidelines in the world, and it still wouldn't make a difference if they continue to ignore them in order to protect certain accounts and punish others

(And these are far from the best community guidelines in the world)

I *think* that's the point they're making, that they're sharing the worldview of transphobes.

King of the Road @hedgehogsafety.bsky.social · 22d

I think they're using it as a reclaimed term

King of the Road @hedgehogsafety.bsky.social · 23d

Just fyi these are all already added
