If this post doesn't get deleted, I'm gone. This just shows again that lemmy.world is filled with transphobes and that the mods endorse them. I will look for an instance that doesn't federate with them.

wait how is the above transphobic? I thought it was a leopard-face-eating situation

Someone being a bad person is not an excuse to deadname them.

Normally I would agree. But in this instance, the very fact that Jenner is trans and voluntarily having her face eaten by leopards is at the core of the issue. So you can't really tiptoe around the subject in this instance. She's totally doing this to herself.

I am very confused by your comment.

The picture shows a post by a trans person praising donald trump.

And a response to that post pointing out that trump is transphobic.

But you saw this and decided that its the people of lemmy world who are this transphobes?

How is this post not a pro trans post? By opposing trumps anti trans executive order and pointing that out to a trans person who supports trump, you are damaging trump, not the trans person.

People can be trans and also fucking idiots at the same time. Its not transphobic to think a specific trans person is being dumb.

It's the lemmy people dogpiling and continuing the deadnaming after the point in the tweet has already been made. Yes Caitlyn Jenner is a moron who aligned herself with transphobic fascists who have legally mandated she be called by her deadname. Continuing to deadname her after the point is made is just additional cruelty on top without any additional benefit

Speaking more meta though, I fully understand the anger coming from people more to the left of Republicans, cruelty has won the Judiciary, congress and the presidency, cruelty has been an effective political strategy for republicans and a lot of people are angry and scared.
