Obviously reporting transphobic comments to a transphobic mod isn’t going to result in any action, so I’m wondering if the admins are going to do anything about it?

They already posted on !fediverse@lemmy.world asking for a new instance, so I guess they know that lemm.ee won’t allow it.
Just checked, from the sidebar “No bigotry”
Wahey, good riddance! Thanks for the update.
Please explain what I’ve said that is bigoted? I would go .ee but they don’t allow bot majority communities (I have got an exception for that but I’m checking out the options first).
Assuming you’re genuinely uninformed and confused, trans women do not have any advantages over cis women if they’ve been on HRT. The lack of testosterone affects the body dramatically. You can see evidence of this in the fact that trans women aren’t dominating any of the competitions which have allowed them.
Furthermore, sports were never fair in the first place. Some people are more naturally gifted in various areas than others. There are actually cis female athletes who have been forced to medically lower their natural testosterone levels in the name of fairness, and that’s some Harrison Bergeron shit.
Replace ‘trans’ with any other group, does it sound bigoted to you now? It reads like ‘we can’t have black girls compete with white girls because of the clear advantage in physicality’ you know, the common racist talking point of old?
OK let’s replace trans with another group let’s use men as an example. “We can’t have men compete with women because of the clear advantage in physicality” is this sentence fine?
No. Look into the history of the first woman to run the Boston Marathon and how people believed that the jostling of the running would kill a woman. That is the world that allowed women’s sports only as it’s own category. Some sports like tennis it might make sense on a competitive compromise. But to apply that thinking to high-school sport, which is more about community than competition, it is just clear exclusion.
But also, how gross to round about just say that trans women are men… ಠ_ಠ
