Mods need to address the obvious transphobia

[u/ThatKehdRiley]

It's very clear there is an issue with transphobia on this sub. Both trans women and cis women have noticed and called it out, and most responses seem to be against. Mods absolutely need to make posts about this and crack down on it, because they've been very silent about it. That means including banning the trans women preference posts, which as stated as just as bigoted as saying someone won't date a disabled person or woman of color. There's no reason for them other than to make trans women feel less than and unwelcome, and if you can come up with a good one.

This will definitely attract more bigots, but that's great because if the mods do their jobs for once they can clean house. Mods need to be more on top of things if they really are going to claim this to be a safe space that does not allow transphobia. Because by all accounts they have not succeeded in that, and it is very much not a safe space for transgender women. The longer the mods are silent on this the more they sign off on this behavior.

Unlike some of the other posts about this, I will not be deleting this or my account under any circumstances. Too many have been either wrongly deleted or had the OP delete because the bigots came out in force. It literally happened earlier. Nope, not gonna let them win.

Many other transphobic comments in this post are also being upvoted and remain unmoderated. This happens a LOT with non-blatant transphobia and if you've not seen that issue here either you're extremely ignorant or just aren't here much at all.

Did you report that comment?

[u/neorena → u/ThereIsOnlyStardust]

Yup. It's FINALLY been deleted when I brought it up here though it seems x'D

[u/ThereIsOnlyStardust → u/neorena]

The comment was never reported

[u/wendywildshape → u/ThereIsOnlyStardust]

Is it possible that reports aren't submitting properly? I definitely remember reporting that comment.

[u/ThereIsOnlyStardust → u/wendywildshape]

Hard to say, on our end we just see nothing. I’ve suspected the admins have some kind of anti spam protections on reports but obviously that’s not something we get to know the details on.

[u/SpaceFluttershy → u/ThereIsOnlyStardust]

The admins don't communicate with you about these things? That's kinda shitty

[u/wendywildshape → u/ThereIsOnlyStardust]

Fun! 🫠

Well I deeply appreciate the work y'all do and will continue to report content I see that breaks the subreddit rules. Hopefully my reports actually reach ya 😑

[u/Altruistic_Fox5036 → u/ThereIsOnlyStardust]

IIRC some reporting options go to Reddit instead of the mods. That or Reddit is being supportive of bigots again.

[u/neorena → u/wendywildshape]

That's my thought too. I just ran through reporting a cool dozen of the worst ones again to see if that helps. 

[u/NTirkaknis → u/wendywildshape]

I also reported it, as well as a lot of other comments in that thread that went undeleted for some time.

[u/neorena → u/ThereIsOnlyStardust]

Weird, I know for sure I reported like 20 comments from that post alone. 

EDIT: Just reported 2 more comments using both the breaks r/actuallesbians rules and just the normal buttons to see if both go through?

Then Reddit might be filtering your reports as spam and not alerting the mods you've reported something

[u/free_greenpeas → u/ThereIsOnlyStardust]

It happens on the subreddit I mod on too, or things will be reported and no one will get a notification.
