@isolategab claims spinster is ant-trans. Where? There's nothing about trans people on the description, the word trans doesnt it even show up on their rules. There's **nothing** about trans people anywhere written on their official page. Why do people claim it's "anti-trans" I don't understand.

@DavidBond @isolategab I'm a transsexual, and I have an account there. Most the people there are ok with transsexuals. They just take issue with the fake trans who go claiming lesbians are bigots for not wanting dick, and threatening women, etc. The majority of Spinsters are reasonable.

Do they think I'm literally biologically female? no. Do I care? no. Is it hate? no.

A few call me "he", but they're not throwing it in my face.

@DavidBond @isolategab according to tools like that anything that's not explicitly promoting something must therefore be in opposition to it.
So "spinster" isn't just anti-trans, it's anti-black, anti-homosexual, anti-environment, etc. etc. etc.
And of course the term is explicitly female in nature, which doesn't help as transsexuals are neither male nor female (despite the claims of tools like that that they're both, or either, depending on whether the mood strikes them, at any time).

@DavidBond @isolategab There are some Spinster users that are anti-trans. Spinster, however, is nothing more than a woman-first free-speech platform, not anti- or pro-trans.

@Thunderwing @DavidBond@qoto.org Here is the male founder’s statement on why he created it. Not blurry as to the anti-trans mission.

@isolategab Interesting point, but Alex's own personal anti-transgender views (which I disagree with, BTW) don't make Spinster pro- or anti-trans as long as the platform doesn't censor one side or the other.

@Thunderwing they are screening moderators who only support anti-trans views, banning civil critics, and blocking accounts that disagree with their anti-trans support.

@Thunderwing would screen shots change your support of them? If so, happy to dig up.

@DavidBond I guess protecting real women from trans people is anti-trans.
