    I have found blahaj to be… Exclusionary in the usual lgtqa ways.

      Man, if you feel excluded by shitposters on a website, imagine how excluded you would feel being lgbtqa in a country where 40% of people think you are an evil disgusting degenerate who will go to hell forever.

        Don’t have to imagine dude.

        Now imagine living somewhere where 75%of people belong to the same damn cult and about half of people want to kill you because your existence disproves their culty religion.

      Yup! They work really hard to create a strong queer space. That means they work hard to exclude bigotry and the like, even in its micro aggression form.

        Which explains why they hate bi men, nonbinary folk and intersex people so persistently. Not queer enough for y’all. Hence why I left them out of the acronym.

          I’m sorry. I’m not on blahaj.

          Bigotry towards bi men and non-binary folk seems very much not like them.

          Are you a bi man or non-binary person? If so I would be interested hearing what sort of discrimination you faced at blahaj. I recommend them quite a bit but would rather not if they are hateful in that way.

            First, do I have to be a bi man or nonbinary to care about bigotry toward them?

              No, but I’ve seen my fair share of concern trolling.

              I am neither a bi man nor nonbinary and care, but I value my time.

                Okay, so a fair amount of what I’ve seen is bi erasure, and as far as nonbinary bigotry, it’s pretty similar. Nonbinary folk don’t truly exist, whatever that means, and are either male or female kind of how bisexual folk are whatever their current relationship is. The women’s stuff community on blahaj professes to be Trans and nonbinary inclusive but if you are not explicitly female they will harass you with a candy coated “fuck off, you are not female enough”. Not really seen much on else blahaj but have from blahaj users.

                Complete AOL blast bullshit, but I figured it wouldn’t take Nazis long to take over blahaj. It’s the sort of thing they’d find funny.

                  Counterexample of one, but I’ve commented in womensstuff before as a genderfluid person and have not been asked to leave the space.

                    i’ve commented several times, sometimes explicitly saying i’m nonbinary, and their sexual harrassment bot repeatedly pings me. I’m now banned there because i lost my temper and said fuck off to the bot. after being sexually harassed by the bot. which, you know, is a normal response to being sexually harassed, but the instance admins like their premeditated sexual harassment bot, so the ban stands.

                    i just want to block the community, but until i’m unbanned.

                  That sounds not so nice. Is there an example out there or the like?
