A month ago, I made a post asking that c/twoXchromosomes be removed from the instance due to known concerns with the name in regards to trans people, and the mods’ stated intention not to compromise on the name. Since then, the community’s mods have gone inactive. u/[email protected] has only two posts on the website, and the most recent one is 2 months ago. u/GreatWhiteBuffalo41 has not commented on the site in 22 days, and has not been active on c/twoXchromosomes for 2 months. There have been 4 posts to the community in the time since my post about the community name a month ago. The modlog shows no mod activity in 2 months.

I would like to appeal to the admins that I may take over the community, set it to restricted mode, and make the only post on the community a sticky explaining the problems with the name and redirecting to other feminist communities across the Fediverse.

    That post from 14 years ago makes it clear they knew the name was controversial and would attract transphobes 14 years ago, and they still did nothing about it. As they say, “the road to hell is paved with good intentions”. Which means: Good intentions don’t mean anything if paired with bad actions. I also have personal experiences with enbyphobia from the r/2xc mod team. Awkward The Turtle said she hated nonbinary people after she was banned from r/ennn for transphobia.

    Also I know your reputation from elsewhere and I would appreciate it if you not comment on any of my posts, please. Your comment here is really solidifying your reputation and I just don’t want to deal with you.

      Excuse me? I was just trying to add some context, I was not trying to make a call on whether or not they should stick around here.

      I have no idea what reputation you’re alluding too but I don’t think it’s fair or reasonable to ask me to not comment on your posts. I’m a disabled trans woman, I do not have the spare spoons to remember your specific username as well as check the OP of every post I reply too. It’s ableist to suggest that I should.

        I asked you not to reply to my posts, and I blocked you, and the first thing you did was reply. No means no. I’ve seen your transphobic comments elsewhere and I do not want to discuss anything with you. If you reply to this comment I will report you for harassment.

          You have gone around the fediverse calling people transphobic, including me now, based off your personal definition of transphobia. I’m a trans person, I’m non-binary and you’re trying to shutdown my ability to reply. You have been called out by me and others and have ignored what we’ve said. You don’t get to stop all opposition to your controversial posts by telling people they aren’t allowed to reply to you anymore.

          Edit: Hey slrpnk.net admins, you should message ada at Blahaj about this user. She’s the admin there.

            I am not interested in discussing fediverse drama with you. Stop responding. I do not want you harassing me. I asked politely to be allowed to disengage from you.

              You got banned from Blahaj. You ARE the fediverse drama. I doubt the veracity of you even being a trans person at this point considering your troll tactics and calling every trans person that has disagreed with you a transphobe. You don’t get to ask every person that disagrees with you to disengage.

              You cannot go around the fediverse demanding in meta communities that instances comply with your strict, narrow definition of transphobia.

              You call this harassment, I call it making sure that people see your history when you create a new account and try to start drama with it.

              Edit: You also cna disengage by blocking me. You’re upset I’m commenting on your post and calling you out.

                  You started a thread about politics. Let me remind you that you also called a trans woman transphobic for wanting to be allowed to disengage from politics. In fact, here’s a direct quote from you about the current situation that I feel is relevant:

                  A person’s right to avoid having anyone disagree with them ends when they harm other people. And this speech is harmful. link

                  You haven’t denied that this was you.
