Are liberal trans people inclusive and trans positive? I can’t say they are when they support neverending wars overseas and jerk off to war criminals that have undoubtedly killed, maimed, or otherwise harmed many trans people, e.g. Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, Kamala Harris, etc.
‘Dunking’ on them is a pittance in comparison to support for slaughtering our own community.
Personally, I think you should rethink how you think about your own instance, 196 is a cesspool and its clear that most trans people find it offputting. I first heard of y’all as the ‘trans friendly’ instance and looked at your front page and saw a complete shitshow on the front page (re: ONLY 196), and obviously you aren’t federated with all trans spaces so I chose to go to lemmy instead.
This statement is at odds with the claim that they’re the most trans inclusive instance around.
Hexbear is incredibly protective of trans folk that share its views, but it green lights active harassment of trans folk not in that group.
An instance that is ok with harassment of some trans folk isn’t as protective as you’re claiming.
Did you not read what I said? Are you that steeped in ideology?
Liberals support things that are far worse than harassment, they cannot be allowed to support neoliberal ideology in trans spaces without those trans spaces becoming cesspools of reactionary and bigoted thought. Are you ok with trans nazis being here so long as they don’t harass anyone? Where does your umbrella end? Indirect support for killing trans people?
Rather than just banning trans folk who don’t align with their politics, or targeting their political ideas, Hexbear actively enables dogpiling and harassing of individual trans folk
That’s not the behaviour of “the most trans positive instance”, especially given that Hexbears political ideology is fringe at best, making the majority of trans people valid targets for its harassment.
Don’t get me wrong. Hexbear is incredibly supportive of its trans folk. It’s why I tried to make federation with them work for so long. But it’s only supportive of its own trans folk. If you don’t align with their political stance, you get harassment, not support.
You absolutely keep dodging the questions I’m asking, are you ok with fascist trans people?
And no, socialism is absolutely not fringe in the trans community. Maybe in your weird little bubble of liberals and transphobes it is, but in trans places IRL socialism is absolutely what is most common. In fact, its not even fucking close.
Edit: They locked the thread. We can only assume Ada and her mods are OK with fascist trans people being here.
dodging & shrugging is starting to seem like the norm to me with this instance.
