keffals absolutely did a bunch of unacceptable racist shit, but I do feel like she wouldn't have gotten nearly as much backlash for it if she wasn't a trans woman, and that is worth taking into consideration IMO. she's spoken about as if she's a monster, and recently I had someone make fun of her gender presentation to my face (disguised as a compliment, along the lines of "you're more of a real woman than keffals is"). why is that an acceptable consequence for transfems in leftist circles, meanwhile everyone allows cis folks to act the goat without so much as a slap on the wrist?

obviously everybody should face consequences for racist actions and have to actually put in effort to make amends in order to be forgiven. but transmisogyny is not an acceptable consequence for bad behaviour, despite its seemingly ubiquitous use as such by people who claim to be opposed to bigotry and violent oppression. it's not even really about keffals either, I've just seen time after time that most allegedly trans-positive people turn completely transmisogynistic the moment they decide a particular transfem is Evil™, no matter what the actual severity of the misstep is, or even if it's an actual misstep at all, and that really needs to be addressed before we all die.

Claiming to be a "friendly, welcoming space for all kinds of furries" and then excluding anyone under 18 is honestly quite shitty. If you wanna run an NSFW-focused community that's fine, but say that up front and don't pretend you're all-inclusive.
There's a severe lack of non-age-restricted furry spaces in general, and especially ones that aren't actively sex-negative & anti-queer.

That shit really hurt me and made me feel like I didn't belong when I was younger. I was isolated, I felt like I was broken and wrong and bad for being myself, and I'm still working through all of that. I'd rather not have more socially-rejected queer kids suffer the way I did. Let's show them a little compassion. Please.
