In reply to the discussion: DU has a transphobia problem [View all]obamanut2012
(27,803 posts)49. I actually had decided to leave
But my old friend Yardie persuaded me to stay.
The amount of TERFS who are allowed to post here is disturbing. Our posts calling them out get hidden, we get 24-hour alerting bans, they do not get hidden or if so, not banned. It's all well and good EarlG AGAIN said something, but it needs to have teeth. Folks need to get banned, and fuck this "censorship" thing: none of this should be allowed her. I am waiting for the OP lauding Rocky Gervais' newest transphobic Netflix special.
on edit: this trans hate also extends to LGBT and women in general. It's sick what has been allowed here with this.
