Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn't going to result in any action, so I'm wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?

OK that's the last straw for me. I am willing to give the benefit of a doubt to people, but this is the third strike for this person. So I've asked them to move their comm to another instance as they don't align with our instance values.

The right call.
Well done!
Fantastic. We can only hope that the lemm.ee team take a similar stance against this user, but I won't hold my breath.
They already posted on [email protected] asking for a new instance, so I guess they know that lemm.ee won't allow it.
Just checked, from the sidebar "No bigotry"
Wahey, good riddance! Thanks for the update.
Please explain what I've said that is bigoted? I would go .ee but they don't allow bot majority communities (I have got an exception for that but I'm checking out the options first).
Assuming you're genuinely uninformed and confused, trans women do not have any advantages over cis women if they've been on HRT. The lack of testosterone affects the body dramatically. You can see evidence of this in the fact that trans women aren't dominating any of the competitions which have allowed them.
Furthermore, sports were never fair in the first place. Some people are more naturally gifted in various areas than others. There are actually cis female athletes who have been forced to medically lower their natural testosterone levels in the name of fairness, and that's some Harrison Bergeron shit.
This might actually be the most important thing here: I have no idea how youth sports handle things (and under the current fascist climate competing as a trans athlete surely is nearly impossible), but if they were to compete without HRT they might have an advantage (in specific sports)?
It's such a small if combination of things that it's not worth making a fuss over about, but it might be the one case where it could be true?
It depends on where the kids are in their development. AFAB and AMAB kids are functionally identical until puberty starts. A trans child should, imo, be allowed puberty-prevention treatments so that they can choose what kind of puberty they'd like to have when they're older. And that's sure as heck not doing anyone favors in the athletics department.
True, and absolutely they should be allowed puberty-prevention treatments
No the most important thing is that the government has no business getting involved in policing young girls bodies in order for them to be allowed to go have some fun with their friends and team mates on the field.
High school sports don’t even need to be that competitive to begin with. It’s not a professional league.
In your attempt to problematize 1% of 1% of 1% of the population here, when school admins and doctors are fully capable of handling it themselves, conservatives are running roughshod over the humanity of every cis girl with broad shoulders, every cis girl with a hormonal issue like PCOS, every cis girl who’s period gets delayed because she’s athletic, etc.
Those are the vast majority of victims who are harmed by the type of thinking you’re intellectualizing over here. Cis girls. Who now will be forced to prove their bodies are acceptably feminine in order to play.
Of course they’re doing all that to trans girls too but nobody cares about that. So as a trans woman I tell you: go ahead and do it I dare you.
What .ee rule have I broken? I haven't said anything hatefull. Do u enjoy silencing opinions u disagree with?
Some folk learnt that free and open discourse is the real enemy, and go harder than Scientologists against anyone they percieve as disagreeing with them
