With the rampant increase of Anti LGBTQ+ hate crimes, speech and laws internationally, the LGBTQ community globally no longer feels safe.

We refuse to stand by while injustice against our community reigns.

Here we will organize, and discuss ways to make our voices heard!

  1. Respect the trans community

Respect the people who belong here. If you're confused what that means, here's a minor primer:

No asking to date trans people or otherwise meet up with them. No treating being transgender as a mental illness or as being lesser in any way. No arguing with trans people about their identity. No arguing with trans people about their vulnerabilities, including anything related to sports, laws, etc. This includes anything else that the mod team deems disrespectful.


  1. Stay on topic!

Posts should be related to the defense, advocacy, and restoration of LGBTQ+ rights.

This Community is for news regarding, as well as the discussion of, anti LGBTQ+ laws, hate crimes, and propaganda.


  1. Bunnies are above the law

This isn't a rule but it shows you're paying attention to the rules. good for you!

I know plenty of men who technically qualify to join, would she accept them in her gym? I feel like suddenly she'd change definitions to exclude trans men though, because it's not about "biology" like she says.

Good, transphobes suck and they're not really solving any problems by being pieces of shit to us trans women. You know that trans are disproportionately more likely to be sexually and physically assaulted despite what transphobes would tell you about us being groomers and rapists 🙄

i have a somewhat out there idea: what if you just operate a gym that tosses people out on their ass if they misbehave, and don't arbitrarily restrict who is allowed to use it based on physical characteristics?

i'll never understand the logic behind gender-separated spaces, as if people would never misbehave towards someone of their own gender..

From the article:

"Addressing my tweet from 2021. The Girls Spot operates as a female-only gym for biological women, tackling harassment, sexual assault & violence that women face inside the gym. The tweet circling was made 4 years ago and I was in the very early stages of creating a concept."

Show me the stats that suggest that trans women are sexually assaulting women anywhere. It’s not a fucking thing. What a piece of shit. It just goes to show that people drop their support for us as soon as it becomes inconvenient to them. I could count on one hand the people in my life that still support my right to exist.

"Creating a concept"

The most obnoxious thing about idiots is that, being idiots, they also think their cliches are original.

I fucking hate every single person who is abandoning my fellow trans folx right now. Those dipshits clearly are forgetting the rest of what Martin Niemöller’s infamous quote. “Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me”. Hope everyone who is abandoning us get what they fucking deserve

I'm not trans, but it pains me to see people treating other people like subhumans just because they prefer to identify with a gender that doesn't match their sex

Not directly in your life, but you still need to know that you are valid! Coming from someone who is afraid that I will be hearing more of that in the future, we need to stand together. It's sickening. And it shouldn't be this way.
