I have few followers here after leaving the "bad place".
So, I'm going to start writing about where my head is at, how I'm coping, and what I'm preparing for.
At the least, I'll leave a of record of my experience as a trans person in this climate and maybe it will be of use to others.

Translation: "transphobia has a political cover and if we do anything about it, we'll get hauled in front of congress. So we'll just feed trans people to the trolls to make our lives easier."
Moderation decisions draw intense public scrutiny from many places. That’s why Bluesky's architecture is designed to enable communities to control their online spaces, independent of the company or its leadership. We will continue to work on empowering people with more control over their experience.

This should be grounds for account suspension. Jesse has explicitly white knighted for kiwi farms. These are exactly the kinds of people he associates with.
His presence on this site inherently makes it unsafe for trans people.

we can have a vibrant community of trans people or we can have Singal and his followers
maybe that’s not a choice you want to make as a platform, but if you don’t make it the trans people will make it for you by leaving

Singal spread untruths about my relationship with Trans Lifeline during the 2015-2017 period (carefully couched as just his opinion/just asking questions to avoid liability for defamation) in order to insinuate that I deserved to be harassed and stalked by Kiwi Farms.
...I'm sure he will make this a "free speech" or "civil discourse" issue, but Jesse has a long history of lying about & harassing ppl (especially trans women) online & sometimes in real life – here's but a few examples (from: juliaserano.blogspot.com/2017/12/my-j...)

It is disappointing that @safety.bsky.app keeps unsuspending Singal, when he explicitly stated he's here to target a group who helped build this site into what it is. Not even pretending good faith. He's here to ruin the vibes and try to normalize harassment of trans users.
This is fucked up.

Let’s stop being obtuse and asking does Jesse Singal need to cause life threatening harm to trans users on BlueSky before action is taken when people are citing articles and personal experiences and just so much information .
Literally some obtuse shit going on

I genuinely want to know the exact reason why the mod team keep reinstating Jesse Singal & removing the labels from his account.
Please do inform us, the trans people that made bsky get to this point, what *exactly* the reasoning is here.

If the bluesky mods aren't going to kick him out we've got to block him and his minions into oblivion. The trans community helped build this site into the amazing safe space it is for all of us, we can't let the site throw them to the wolves.
Block. Those. Transphobes. Into. Oblivion.

I see a lot of people who I think probably generally mean well objecting to the lists that autoblock everyone following Jesse Singal and the thing about Jesse is that he has cultivated a fan base of snitches who run around tagging him to help with his campaigns of bullying and harassment

If GPs are claiming lack of knowledge, they are incompetent & should not be GPs
If they are claiming “beliefs”, they should not be GPs

Like people really say wait until trans people get subject to further trauma and have their life threatened before action can be taken despite past evidence?
Like some of yall showing you don’t see trans people are people deserving to live.

Jesse Singal's life's work is laundering transphobia into language that that cocktail party set finds palatable. This technique attacks a weakness of liberalism and democracy, and it's being exploited ruthlessly right now.

Jesse has spent the last six years promoting the notion that large numbers of children are transitioning without assessment — something for which there is no evidence.
He should be treated like anyone else peddling a false and harmful idea.
