This community is housed on an instance run by two trans women, focused on the needs of the queer and gender diverse community.
We allowed 196 here because we were promised the community is queer and trans inclusive.
If you’re here it’s because you’re aggressively supportive of trans folk. Not middle of the ground, not “just asking questions”.
If your response to that is, “yes, but…” then this isn’t the instance for you, and by extension, this isn’t the community for you.
tl;dr - Unambiguous support and inclusion, or fuck off somewhere else.

Edit - I changed the phrase "aggressive support to “unambiguous support”, as there was some confusion over the intent behind my previous phrasing.
Every single transphobe right now:
Aggressive support given!
Thank god. Reddit and Twitter were ruined by the transphobic and Nazis. Glad that isn’t tolerated here.
This is what the fediverse was created for. Casual transphobia doesn’t need to be permitted and I fully support that.
“Not gay as in happy, but queer as in fuck you!”
TRANS RIGHTS
i am old and cis but trans shitposters are the best shitposters, this is indisputable. you have my support
Trans rights are women’s rights.
Trans rights are men’s rights.
Trans rights are human rights.
If you believe otherwise, you’re doing nothing less than questioning the basic humanity of Trans people. And you can fuck right off.
Damn straight. Us queers need to stand together and there can be no god damn LGBTQ+ without the flippin T.
Heck yeah! Fuck Transphobia!
Just wondering what does 196 means anyway? Clueless lemmy user here.
Ps I’m ally of LGBTQ2S+.
Back on Reddit some dude and his roomates made a subreddit called r/195 (their dorm number). It only had one rule, when you visit, you have to post a meme. Eventually the public found the subreddit and started posting their own memes. It got huge and out of hand and some awful stuff started getting posted so they finally deleted the subreddit. That disappointed a bunch of people so a sequel was made, r/196. This community is a recreation of that second subreddit.
This should be in the sidebar so the lore isn’t lost.
Will spend the next days reporting transphobes if necessary <3 best wishes from Germany
What the fuck, transphobia on 196?
Trans rights 🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️🏳️⚧️
I’m here because 196 shows up on my feed and I really enjoy the memes.
I also have absolutely no problem with trans individuals or really any lifestyle anyone wants to live that isn’t hurting anyone else.
That said, was there an incident recently on here that spurred the creation of this post? Did something go down?
Edit: Changed “bothering” to “hurting” because I frankly don’t give a fuck about the feelings of the type of people that are “bothered” by LGBT+.Someone made a comment saying that they’d be down to fuck a trans man if they hadn’t transitioned yet because he likes women. It was controversial, but then one of the mods here decided to post a screenshot of that comment on the main, and the people in the comments were fucking horrendous. It’s all “I’m an ally, but…” statements. Some of them were fine, but even the best ones were just people taking the opportunity to say that they don’t wanna fuck trans people. And that’s fine, you don’t have to be attracted to trans people at all, but a trans safe space isn’t the spot for that discussion at all.
The mod shouldn’t have posted what’s essentially bait, nor should they have not actually moderated the thread after posting the bait. I’m pretty sure the instance admin ended up having to handle it. The guy who made the original comment is saying it was him, but that’s not really what matters. This controversy was more about properly moderating the space than anything.
Trans people are regular, real people. Like my college friend. Or my wife’s HS friend. Or that one kind soul I worked with once.
I’m so god damn sick of all the hatred and lies and bullshit and murder and sadistic laws against trans people.
I loudly applaud any space that actively supports trans people and gives them a place free from hatred and assholes.
The fact that they need a space away from everyone else, and the fact that this post even had to be made, is a testament to mankind’s inhumanity to man. People are people, but there’s an unsettling amount of people that can’t see past creed, color, sexuality, and so on.
I’d say it’s a monument to our own hubris as well. We’re the most advanced civilization that we know exists, but still can’t seem to treat members of our own society right.
Based.
Thank you for creating a safe space. I’m an ally to the LGBTQ+ community and am happy there’s a space not for “everyone”, but for those willing to accept trans folk and silence those against them (while having funny posts on it as well).
