I just want to inject something here.
This community and others like it exist on blahaj, because this instance focuses on the needs of trans and queer folk first and foremost. And so, trans and queer folk expressing honestly held opinions, are given space to do so.
I've had a chat to the lead mod of that community to address the way moderation is communicated, but I don't plan on telling them what they can communicate. These folk are going to experience the results of the election first hand too, so I'm not going to tell them that they're not allowed to deal with the situation in a particular way.
We have a group for armed queers here too. I'm strongly anti gun myself, but this group too is run by queer and trans folk with genuinely held beliefs trying to deal with a world that is turning against us more and more. I want them to have space that is explicitly inclusive and protective of their needs, even if I don't agree with them, because trans solidarity is the goal.
