mention of trans harm, transphobia, genocide, racism @mekkaokereke The answer will remain no because you are inconsiderate. You are putting your desire to call out systemic issues above everyone else's desire to have a mindful community in which hard triggers can be avoided.

My intent was not to frame your post as politics. I totally agree with your point that human rights, equality and equity are not politics. Genuinely sorry if it came across this way.

The larger point is that we need not push people who are already in personal crises to their absolute limit by taking away their tools of feed moderation, because someone thinks their issue is just too important. There is a genocide going on against my people. We need not fight, but to be united against our oppressors. My pain is different from your pain, but strangely similar in a lot of ways. This is not about importance or restricting speech. It is about protecting our communities, where many already live in fear or despair. People in fear and despair do not rise, they do not fight, they do not resist. They hide. We do not need to push people into a corner any further. We should, nay,
must empower them.
