They have started to become a lot more lenient towards transphobia, especially the liberal kind, going so far as to protect Jesse Singal with his antics. Trans people over there are obviously seeing the signs and are jumping ship.

Imagine my shock when liberals are tolerant of transphobia capitaldcolon

Of course they will tolerate themselves. Who else should they tolerate? Trans people? lord-bezos-amused

I do actually trust the liberals. I trust them to always want to purge us, while treating fascists with silk gloves. biden-harbinger

They were silent for a week while we begged them to do something about Jesse Singal literally saying he was going to brigade the site with his followers from Twitter, and when they did finally say something official, it was a long thread about how transphobia is acceptable as long as the transphobes are slightly crafty with it or at least "polite." Bluesky went to great length to detail the line that will get an account banned, and said they're ok with someone toeing right up to that line as long as they don't cross it.
