Oof yeah I saw those comments…
I don’t blame them for dropping the banhammer considering their instance rules and how strictly they enforce them (even if I don’t necessarily agree with some of the enforcement).
Comment on Is there a formalized ban appeal process for the fediverse? Do I just direct message a mod?

I’m as trans-positive as they come, but ‘being able to give birth’ is actually a meaningful difference.
That’s true, but from a categorical standpoint, all trans women are incapable, which, at the very least, is a distiction with non-zero significance.

Hm, good luck with that ban appeal

Yeah, blahaj, don't bother. There's an elevated amount of odd positions that are popular there, and don't you dare question them.

You can misgender someone there without intending to and be banned for it. Having a nuanced opinion isn’t going to go over well over there.
My Lemmy account was banned because I use dude as a non-gender term, according to the holy verses then in my attempts to assert I wasn’t applying genitals or identity to anyone I was banned.

You could just not be shitty and it wouldn’t be a problem to post on blahaj at all.

Exactly.

Im not trying to argue here, but I am a little confused. The first section seems to be referring to medical care, in which case there would seem to be some distinction? I suspect the answer to my confusion lies in the second part, but im having difficulty parsing it at all. Is it a reaponse to the first part? A continuation? The modlog wont load on my app.
Again, i have no agenda here, im just confused and would like context to avoid potential future issues

A lot of people don’t care for the notion that medically there are differences, and so sometimes the distinction is warranted and necessary.
There are two dominant presenting genders, but medically we know that the x and y genes aren’t represented in such a binary fashion. Some people latch onto this knowledge as proof there is no such thing as a “man” or “woman” anyways.
I’m just a parent of a trans child trying my best, and I often times run afoul of the more vocal in their community because I don’t align with their beliefs 100%.
