Trans people on dKos have been accused of wanting TransAction to be an "echo chamber" because we would like to have a safe, supportive community space here for ourselves and our allies.
We need such a space, and I propose that TransAction be it.
We may also need a place where trolls can be trolls and display their transphobia and homophobia for all to admire.
Perhaps we should start a new group such as TransTrolls for this purpose? Trolls would be allowed to harass us there, but not in TransAction. Trans people who diary or comment in TransTrolls would do so expecting a flame war... er, excuse me, a pie fit. But on TransAction, we could unwind and say whatever we like without having to be on 24/7 combat alert.
Of course trolls would still attack TransAction, but they could be summarily blown off and told to take it to TransTolls.
