I personally live in a country that has escaped the worst of it, but even so, do you know that I legally can’t enter the US? Not that I’d want to, but it would literally be impossible for me to provide ID that matches their expectations.

The US doesn't ban trans people or gay people from entering. So what's the actual reason that would you be banned from entering US?

Fuck nuance.

Which proves my point I was making. You don't want nuance. I don't care the reasons, my point stands: you don't care about nuance.

But please, share your nuance on this topic with me :)

Nah. No way am I jumping in to this fray. I'll watch everyone yell at each other. I want no part of it. Thanks, though.

So do you think you're helping people understand, by being jerks and finger pointing every time someone doesn't 100 percent agree with every single thing you say? (Not YOU specifically, I'm talking some of the more angry, extreme people)

On Lemmy, just asking "Why?" gets people brigaded and yelled at.

Hey, you do you. I don't care one way or the other. People can keep on doing screenshots and fingerpointing and yelling...but it won't change minds or hearts doing it that way.

I've been on Lemmy long enough to realize that most on Lemmy don't want to have nuance, or useful conversation. People here LIKE being mad.

Extremism is what brought most to Lemmy in the first place. Most LIKE the echo chamber. It will accomplish nothing though.

So hey, go about being mad, getting mad, and yelling. That won't change opinions and that's not the goal anyway.

This. The amount of effort and time that it takes to be an olympic athlete is crazy. I've actually met quiet a few in person, through the work I do. Even their 'light training' days are insane. Which is why I love the Olympic Games so much, regardless of IOC rulings.

It's Lemmy. Don't expect nuance on this. Expect pitchforks if you don't 100 percent agree with the mob. lol

ITT: Lemmy’s on high alert, scanning every post in this thread for the tiniest crack of nuance, hesitation, or less-than-100% agreement. The moment someone sounds even slightly conflicted or imperfectly aligned, the chorus leaps in with the sacred “transphobe!!” label like it’s a reflex. Then comes the frantic history dive of screenshots, out-of-context quotes... anything to sharpen the pitchforks and prove the heretic was always suspect.

I'm fine with transphobes being called out, but some in this thread are really stretching the meaning of the word. Can't we all just try to get along?

It’s genuinely fascinating to watch. lol

Over Hannah Montana Linux!? Never! (https://archiveos.org/hannah-montana/)

Of course you blocked you me. You can't defend yourself because I called you out for making a false accusation about me, so you stomped your feet, and ran away.

I didn't say "horrible users." I pointed out that people would be upset at what he was saying. And they were. I was right. I even pointed out his downvotes for saying it.

Hmmm, again, there you go showing your bias, and projecting yet again.

I know exactly what it means.

Now please show me even one example where I’ve said or posted anything transphobic. You’re the one who threw the accusation at me, so let’s see the receipts.

What did I say that was transphobic, then? What have I said or posted anywhere that was transphobic in any way, shape, or form? Please post here so everyone can see. Because you have no idea what you're talking about.

Weird projection you have going on here.
