hah, this one is funny!

Also, echoing @Imotali@lemmy.world's comment below (unfortunately you can't sticky comments on lemmy): comments that express hate towards any group are a violation of instance guidelines. BE NICE.

I'd be more interested in protesting the fact that it's now legal to grope women in Italy.

The landmark decision involved a school janitor who jammed his hand into a 17 year old girl's panties.

Pick the hill you want to die on.

Both. I choose both.

I'm sure they care about both of those things.

He is like: "I used the transphobia to destroy the transphobia"

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 year ago

This is a pretty awesome way to protest and show solidarity. These trans men are ballsy as fuck and I salute them.

Heavily downvoted sure, but what rule is it breaking?

They were banned for transphobia. Finish that comment. Don't cherry pick their words. Transphobia and bigotry are against the rules here. As a cis person, I don't get to decide what is transphobic; trans people do.
