Seeing as I have not been banned for anything I have to disagree.
Depends on the things you say, where…
If you’re generally leftist, you should mostly be fine.
Otherwise you get banned for trolling (because ofc they’re right so you’re trolling) or transphobia, because if you don’t agree with everything a trans person says, you’re transphobic. Also, the world belongs to them.
Talk about lesser known subjects by the public or make a mistake yourself? Thats it, you’re banned for misinformation and trolling. Or being a nazi or racist or whatever. The words don’t have a meaning anymore
Also the random ban reasons like "Rule 3" which refers to the most open and subjective rules like "Be civil" or "Dont be a dick" or similar
Sounds like a lot of generalizing. Probably deserved your ban to be honest.
Believe whatever you want. I’m saying that based on my experience.
Yeah, and you made a pretty blanket statement about all trans people, or ig all trans people on Lemmy, based on your experience with like, a handful of people?
If you want an example, I said trans athletes being in man or women categories is a debate and shouldn’t be allowed by default because of inequalities between the individuals, and true equality can never be reached.
I believe the use of "biological men" trigged them when I said that transgender women were that… when I was talking about scientific stuff to make my point.
Super transphobic, watch out! ☢️ -_-
Why would I care about what you said to invite derision? The problem, currently, is your attempted usage of derision to discredit an entire group of marginalized people based on your EXTREMELY LIMITED and STATISTICALLY IRRELEVANT experiences.
Boohoo the trans people in the trans community disagreed with me about trans issues and the trans people called me transphobic because I have controversial opinions that I chose to share.
Get over it. Honestly, get over yourself. Grow up.
Studies have found the only Olympic events in which trans women might have an advantage over cis women is mid range sprints. There has been no advantage shown in the short or long sprint events nor any other categories.
If you want to talk about equality in sports the biggest inequality that affects outcomes is money. Athletes with more money poured into them for training and equipment have a significant advantage over other athletes.
Studies did not find that there’s a lack of advantage as well, therefore why use it as a point? What I meant is that there’s place for a debate on this question.
I’ll have to disagree with you on this. Based on my research I did not find conclusive evidence on this. A sample size inferior to thousands is not sufficient to test anyways.
That’s a well known problem. Sadly, not much we can do to fix it without creating other problems. We’re all unequal on this :(
Well based on my research if we stop arguing about trans people in sports and just let people play (because sports don't actually matter) everyone on earth will become billionaires!
It's easy to say things, I really do not care what some rando on the Internet came up with by "doing their own research" unless they have receipts. That's how we got anti-vaxxers and flat earthers.
So we know this is a problem but fixing it isn't important. Trans people in sports we don't know is a problem, trying to "fix" it is creating other problems, so why is that more important to focus on?
I hope you’re aware this applies to you as well
I don’t want to take the time to prove you my research and shit. Maybe someone will take the time to do it, and props to them.
Blindly repeating the opinion of the majority on a same platform is also a great way to spread misinformation. I’m simply giving my opinion in hopes of creating doubt in people's mind so that they fact check it and get the truth. Most people stating things aren’t giving out the sources like that, and asking for it each time the facts are different is a great way to prevent those people from speaking at all.
Barely anyone check, so if a thread is full of people saying the same thing, one will assume it’s the truth but it might not be
You’re going off topic here
They're not going off topic, they're leading you to water, but you're refusing to drink. Because you're not actually a trans ally, you have your malformed opinions and refuse to change them.
