The context of this is that I've had one chaser in my replies and DMs after making a single post on blahaj with my blahaj alt, and I had someone accuse me of be transphobic for saying I didn't feel comfortable being in a space with chasers
that was just unbelievable to watch unfold- I respect you for at least trying to be there in good faith and that behavior is completely unacceptable. It's because of exactly that behavior that I've avoided those kinds of spaces and it's been really disappointing to see it getting enabled by moderator inaction.
Yeah when I read that message in the thread I just immediately closed blahaj because it was just so incredibly disengenuous that I didn't want to continue engaging at all with it
i'm sorry your efforts got thrown back in your face so hard
this has all been such a shitshow that i feel like i've said those exact words to you as well at some point in the past few days but if not the sentiment definitely applies to you too. i know you were really pulling for this to work out and i know you were like, personally involved in trying to make it so. just know your labors are appreciated.
i wasnt particularly surprised that it went the way it did, lib trans folks always like splitting with the majority of the community. tbh im more surprised that Ada didnt snap and just go for a purge of chasers, its what i feel 95% of trans people would do. not banning obvious transphobes and just scolding them really is bewildering
Gotcha. Damn.
