Decided to set up this community as well as !truscum@lemmy.blahaj.zone because I know that in the future transmedicalists might want to try setting up here. Transmedicalism is one of the most toxic forms of gatekeeping plaguing the trans community, they actively invalidate people based on “not being trans enough”, they constantly attack NonBinary and Xenogender people claiming that they’re “just cis and want to feel special”. I’ve also seen them attack GNC people claiming that they’re “appropriating the trans experience”.
Obviously these people are very toxic and have no place in Blahaj.zone and probably the trans and queer community as a whole. That’s why I have made these comms as placeholders to ensure that they can’t just set up a space here.
I would be open to turning either of these communities into support communities for people to discuss being hurt by or the damaging aspects of transmedicalism. Please let me know if that seems like a good idea, if not I’m sure someone can always make a dedicated community for that purpose (I’ll put a redirect there in the description if that happens).
Disclaimer, if anyone fights or posts toxic shit in the comments, (especially transmedicalists) I will just lock the thread and move on, be respectful.
I have no doubt that they would, though it could take a while depending on how such actors would behave and how much time the Admins have on their hands. When communities like this pop up every second counts, catching them before they gain too many followers (or taking their place before they can claim it) minimizes the amount of damage they can do.
