Will I be banned? Looking to migrate from Reddit, but only if free speech is paramount.
Looking to see if I am welcom on kbin to express the viewpoint that it is not possible to be "trans."
I assert that it is not possible to transition and that gender is the same as sex.
Is this an acceptable viewpoint on kbin, or will I be banned for expressing this?
Not looking to start a fight, just want to know if such speech is tolerated here.
You're viewing a single thread.
Let me preface this by saying that I disagree with your viewpoint in its entirety, and that I am not an admin nor an instance moderator on Kbin.
Here's the thing. If your intention is to come into Kbin, or Lemmy, or any other space here, and start spouting your viewpoint anywhere and everywhere - for example, in Pro-Trans spaces, or in spaces that have nothing to do with gender, you can expect some heavy pushback, including (likely) removal from those spaces. If your intention is to come in here and find or create a community that is conducive to posting about your viewpoint, you probably won't really have much trouble.
You sound like someone who is looking to make trouble, though, which is the only reason I can see for you to have posted this in this particular manner. If that's your intention, I think I can safely say, on behalf of the Lemmy / Kbin community, fuck right off. There's plenty of Lemmy instances that you can join that won't kick you out for this viewpoint, so probably go find one of those.
You say that there are plenty of instances, can you point me in the right direction?
Like I said, I'm not looking for a fight. I'm also not looking at making 1,000 posts on all manner of topics only to find myself banned from the entire server because of post number 1,001 which says that it is not logically possible to both male and a woman. This is my genuinely held belief, and I don't think the opposing viewpoint is so beyond reproach that my opposition isn't even worth engaging. This is the problem that I had on Reddit - pro-trans people would come into conservative subreddits and report dozens of people for hate-speech, which would result in a site-wide bans, rather than a subreddit bans. A sub-ban is one thing, but a site-wide ban is something totally different.
I'm just looking to avoid getting established on an instance that will ban me because I write down that, "Bruce Jenner isn't a woman," for example.
You say that there are plenty of instances, can you point me in the right direction?
No, I can't, because the instance I'm a member of is very pro-trans, and we tend not to federate with instances that make the opposing viewpoint as large a part of their discourse as you seem to want to.
If you simply can't find a conservatively aligned instance to join, though, the beauty of the Fediverse is that you can create one. Create an instance that caters to the crowd you want to associate with. Let them come to you, then nobody can ban you for your views. (You will likely face defederation from a number of other instances, though, so be aware of that possibility.)
I'm not looking to fight
And yet you again post something so offensive and factually wrong:
it is not logically possible to both male and a woman
If you were a facts and logic person you'd at minimum acknowledge that sex and gender are not one and the same (hint: they aren't the same word and are not synonyms), and that gender exists on a spectrum as does sex. These are the facts, your assertions are not.
