Looking for somewhere to discuss stuff that doesn't swing right or left and doesn't ban people for voicing an opinion.

You could always start this if you can't find it, could be interesting? c/middleground?

Edit: the center is going to mean different things to different people too.

No, because it goes against some of the rules alot of the lemmies have of they take a post out of context. I don't agree immigration and I don't agree with transgenders. I don't hate them though. I'd still get banned for that

You repeating "I don't hate them" over and over while at the same time attacking trans people at their core sounds a lot like you're either in denial, or you're aware that your position is an unpopular one. Either way, it sounds like you need to do some self discovery.

I don't make comments for popularity, I make comments because I want to have a discussion.

There's at least some parts of the lemmy community where those views are acceptable even if generally they're frowned upon in the wider community. Maybe [email protected] ? The hilariouschaos instance seems relatively err... libertarian in their approach to free speech but still is widely federated to other instances. Not speaking from experience as I'm not subscribed to any of their communities but that was the impression I got.

Regardless of our current differences of opinion on transgender folks and (most kinds of) immigration, and the differences between you and the lemmy community at large I'd like to think it's a big enough place that you'll be able to find room here for respectful discussion, or start a community of your own on an instance where it can happen.
