For a community that bills itself as

“General discussions about “science” itself

Be sure to also check out these other Fediverse science communities:”

And is full of news articles explaining science, having a biologist explain the science of sex biology is not a right fight for a general science community.

    I am not a “political account”, I am a trans person trying to raise awareness of the challenges and few successes we are having in being able to exist.

    Just as a I post news which can often be political, I also post movies, science, sports, and other content as I find it.

      Well, if you don’t see how that aspect of yourself could be seen as political, I can see why you don’t think you’re political, but you’re clearly very passionate about a topic that most other people recognize as somewhat political. There’s nothing wrong with that in itself, but I think you can see a conflict like this was fairly likely if you’re regularly posting indiscriminately with no little knowledge of the instances or communities you’re posting in. It’s not the end of the world nor is it an attack on you or your passions. You’ll either learn to self moderate or choose different communities.

      Now, if you don’t mind I’m gonna step away from this conversation before an over eager mod/admin bans my ass.

        I posted a highly scientific article written by a scientist in a science community.

        Let us hope they do, maybe you will learn to self moderate in the future.

        You can’t even have a conversation with a trans person because you might say something that gets you banned. If that’s really the case you should just come out and say it so the powers that be can “self moderate” your probably transphobic ass out of here. Or maybe you could “choose different” communities because it would be a blessing to never see BillyGruf talking about trans people ever again

          Or maybe because a bunch of mindless tribal assholes, you, are gonna jump down my throat and shove words in my mouth.

          I’m asshole-phobic. I admit it. People like you. Yeah, fuck them.

          Nice use the username in case I delete the comments where you misrepresent my views that way you ruin the account. I can’t see how completely eliminating the incentive to disengage could possibly result in more conflict.

          I couldn’t give a fuck less about trans people. Actually, I could. I’m generally on the live and let live, but despite how much of complete fucking bastards you’ve all been in the responses I actually do still have to argue in favor of defending them from stupid ass political bullshit. Right at this particular moment, dealing with you and the other people here, I really don’t want to believe that they should be defended, but unfortunately for my current mood - I do actually believe trans people should be left alone and treated like any other person. Unless I suppose they’re being assholes on the internet, then they should be told off as assholes on the internet.

          prick.
