An admin of this instance, Nutomic, is a transphobe and has no right to be able to ban trans people from this community.
I'm calling for https://lemmy.ml/u/Beaver@lemmy.ca, the most prolific user of the transgender comm here on lemmy.ml, to be immediately unbanned and nutomic to be removed as admin. It is good and correct to leak the DMs of transphobes.
I'm a 'tankie', transphobia is unacceptable, being a 'tankie', anarchist, woke, socialist, etc. is fine and are the most common political stances trans people take.
A 'tankie' is a very specific brand of terminally-online communist, though, particularly when it comes to romanticizing totalitarian, anti-capitalist regimes.
Being both a trans person and a tankie is the leftist equivalent of hoping the leopard doesn't end up eating your face.
You can take out the anti-capitalist regime part. They're fine worshiping capitalists regimes. Putin's as bad as transphobic as you can find but tankies love him.
I know that there is a tendency amongst people of Nutomic's ilk to view identity politics as little more than a bourgeois preoccupation. He said as much himself.

I don't consider nutomic to be a communist. Lumping someone that is a mess ideologically in with people that do good work is irresponsible.
