Edit - I changed the phrase "aggressive support to "unambiguous support", as there was some confusion over the intent behind my previous phrasing.

I'm here because this showed up in all.

I don't "aggressively support" squat. I do stand up for life, liberty,and the pursuit of happiness. Someone being trans does not affect anyone's life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness until they get aggressive.

What does that even mean?

until they get aggressive

This like not being racist, but they shouldn't be so loud with those blm protests?

Not homophobic, but they shouldn't have to make everything gay in the summer?

Maybe in wrong (I hope I am), but that is what your comment sounds like.

I do not support the BLM protests as they had them because they were violent, yet I support black rights. I understand also Martin Luther King Jrs statement not to have violent protests because it makes the protesters out to be the bad guys.

I was at the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) protests in standing rock protesting against the encroachment of native Americans rights. As and I told them also, "it is not good if you break the law, it makes it look like you are the bad guys. Rather stress how much THEY are breaking the law.

I do not support violent protests for the most part, unless life is at stake.

The law got us in the messes. Ya gotta break it. Property destruction and defense from police violence is not violence.

You think lives aren't at stake in those instances? Hmm ok.

Why are you showing up in a comment section without having most of the context on a post that doesn't concern you or your communities? Legit asking, what is the point of this comment?

I did not join this community nor this server, it was thrust upon me.

I support trans rights, don't get me wrong.

I am just offended by a post thrust upon me and then they claim "this isn't the community for you". I DIDN'T JOIN THE DAMN COMMUNITY IN THR FIRST PLACE.

This is the weirdest complaint. The post showed up in your popular/active feed because it got popular/active. It wasn't targeted to you, and the poster was not addressing you. The post was clearly addressed to users who post on /c/196.

Being annoyed at how the service works is not a good reason to be combative with the poster, and it certainly isn't a good reason to share your opinions about trans folk being a problem when they get aggressive. Not adding up.

You know you can block a community right? And if it's not for you, you can just... not participate, too. It was "thrust upon you" in the same way that every other community in c/all is thrust upon you. You make the active choice of browsing non-curated content, then complain that it doesn't consider you?

Seriously, you're complaining about literally nothing. If you don't feel like this is for you, block it.

Yeah, seeing this in all and this person is totally right don't give em shit

You can hide posts and block coummunities without leaving pointless contrarian garbage on them
