Or it could be rephrased as “Shitheads should not be tolerated in any sensible community”. Transphobes, like homophobes and racists, should not be welcome amongst decent folk.
People don’t often grasp the Paradox of Tolerance and how it applies to others.
If your ‘opinion’ is hateful rhetoric that trends towards intolerant towards the views of others, it is outside of the circle and is not/can not be tolerated.
It’s not an echo chamber to say “we don’t argue about the existence/rights of lgbtq+ folks” in regular spaces. This isn’t the place for the conversation, and even if it was, the conversation has already been had. If you want that anachronistic shit in your own spaces, sure, but here in the modern world we’ve already come together in belief that that hokey old world shit doesn’t play.
Tbh, it seems like you’re the main party here sticking their fingers in their ears. If someone has already identified Lemmy as a place that doesn’t welcome their prejudices, then would they still post that stuff here?
Look, I’ll be helpful. If you want to dunk on trans people, go to Mumsnet - that place has turned into TERF Central.
Woah, it totally sounds like you should share your opinion on trans rights somewhere else then.

Sorry, wrong on two counts.
Although they’ve been used interchangeably, because typically they align, sex and gender are two separate concepts. I’m sorry if this offends you.
Trans women are women (gender), although they are not biologically female (sex).
These are facts. I’m sorry if this offends you.

Sorry pal, it’s not me creating these “new” definitions of words. Take it up with the Gender Studies bods who are literal experts in this field.
