    I woke to discover this, and immediately defederated it. I don’t need that transphobia factory in our timelines

      Ok but not everything revolves around trans people’s issues. Can we be glad for a positive development for once, or will we remove everything that does not 100% agree with our view of the world from the fediverse?

        Defederating isn’t irrational, it’s not a matter of personal beliefs it’s a matter of actual people’s lives and being allowed to express themselves. Going against that is inhumane and anyone that does it should be held accountable for their actions. Despite that, mainstream attention direcred towards the fediverse is a positive advancement.

        The BBC is actively transphobic, and regularly publishes transphobic content that stirs up hate. Given that I admin two trans heavy instances, I won’t be federating with them

            It’s pretty widely known and has been an issue for a long time. It’s not terribly hard to google for.

              I tried to google it before asking

              edit: the only result i found was this: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/nov/04/bbc-changes-online-article-at-centre-of-transphobia-row

              edit2: does this sum it up? https://www.them.us/story/bbc-latest-transphobic-screed-is-a-mockery-of-journalism

                I’ve also been looking. I see other websites complaining, but I want to see actual BBC content that’s inflamatory etc, as I can’t find anything. It must exist, but so far, can’t find it.

                  “Many people have blocked the BBC for posting transphobic content that is harmful to trans folk”

                  “Hey, can you please share some of that harmful content?”

        I admin a lemmy instance and a regular fediverse instance, both of which are focused towards the queer and gender diverse communities. Blocking transphobia from the feeds of trans folk isn’t symbolic, even though it’s less relevant on lemmy
