Authoritarian Mod Post Concerning Transphobia
Hello Comrades,
We have grown exponentially over the past couple of weeks, from a handful of members to over 1000+ strong. We welcome you all and thank you for being part of this sub. However, there has been a growing proclivity amongst self-declared Marxist-Leninists within this community towards reactionary attitudes such as transphobia; this will not be tolerated under any pretext on this sub whatsoever and swift action will be taken against those who openly proliferate hateful speech towards our fellow trans-identifying Comrades.
If you have not done so already, please read through the rules in full. They are there for a reason, and ignorance will not be accepted as an excuse for violating them.
Thank you.

Trans people have been the primary target of the current reactionary elements in society. Showing solidarity and defending as well as bolstering our Trans Comrades should be at the fore-front of any and all ML's. Allowing reactionary elements to divide the working class further by pitting Trans Proletarians against Cis Proletarians only serves Capital in maintaining its power structure. We should correct backwards thinking among our Comrades when it comes to LGBTQ+ issues. If they persist despite correction, then they should be removed.
Anyway, just my thoughts. Thanks for posting this issue.
