Beaver [she/her]There are no trans women athletes at the Paris Olympics. So bigots manufactured them.
maegul (he/they)Don’t know if it’s being underreported, but it wouldn’t surprise me if it is … it seems the instigator is regretting the kindling of transphobia paranoia they ignited.
doltdealerShe wasn’t the instigator. People just said what they wanted to say. Her unsportsmanlike conduct was just the gap needed to wedge in some hate.
She definitely knew what she was doing. Carini is a policewoman with connections to the Italian alt right. She was paid 50k after the match by the IBA, the ones that disqualified Khelif in 2023 after winning the gold.
marcie (she/her)new rule : lemmy.ml/post/18758874
New rule: if you support transgender people or are trans, please change your username (if your instance allows it) to include your preferred pronouns - Lemmy
If you have no preferred pronouns, just say (none) or something This will help make people feel more comfortable in this comm and has a side effect of showing you support trans people when making comments in other communities.
Hmmm this seems annoying for you! Really good example of the value of user flairs
So long as this is a public community it feels like a perennial problem. Though private communities aren’t here yet, it seems you and the mods here want this to be a relatively public community. So community specific user flairs seem like the only workable solution (where there could be a default “use handle” flair or something or a requirement for first time posters to select a flair).
Don’t know if there’s an issue for it or others pushing for it, but this situation seems like an idea case for its value.
I messaged dessalines about it at some point I think.
Ah right. Makes sense. Sorry for jumping in then if that was annoying/repetitive.
no problem
