Yep, my one grandma would do this, it was so irritating to go anywhere with her.

Exactly. Like there can be safety concerns and such, but not to the extent that some places push it. Like my neurologists infusion center doesn’t care about tattoos, piercings, or hair color unless they might get caught on things or are NSFW. So all piercings must be small, smooth, and not hoops. Even gauged ears are fine as long as they have solid plugs. And most people are smart enough to only put NSFW tattoos in easily coverable places. Employers thinking they can just blinding dictate your entire appearance is absurd.

Yep. Lol

You disagree that Lemmy is not the government? I’m talking about law here, not opinions.

This makes no sense in reply to my comment. Free speech is about the government, changing Lemmy instances won’t change the fact that Lemmy is not the government. My opinion, views, etc have nothing to do with this. As far as free speech is concerned a community would be free to remove trans positive comments if they so chose.

That would be like trying to criticize blackness without criticizing black people, it’s not possible.

Free speech is about the government not being able to restrict your speech. Guess what? Lemmy isn’t the government.
