Bluesky is so thin-skinned that saying 'trans women are men' gets automatically blocked. That's not the worst thing you can say. None of those words on their own are slurs. I'm sure they allow you to say 'trans women are women' which could be seen as offensive to some women. Seen as misogynistic or sexist. So what is up with this moderation?
Yes, trans women are in fact men/male. That is why they are trans. It's just the reality and fact, we shouldn't be shying away from this because it could be seen as offensive or distressing. Because some people think it is transphobic. Stop trying to confuse people.
This attitude helps no one. It doesn't foster acceptance for trans people. It doesn't help people that are going through dysphoric feelings. It doesn't help women. I say this as someone that did struggle with gender issues, that very likely went through dysphoric feelings. This doesn't help people like me that decided to face the reality of my situation and body. To learn to accept them as they are rather than trying to change them.
