I thought we should do a welcome post for our new trans posters! We’re all excited to have you all here 
Let me direct you first to the trans mega, it’s a very cozy place for trans people to post and you don’t necessarily have to post about being trans there (though of course there is lot of gender happening in there at all times!) 
For an even more relaxed and chat-based setting, there’s Tracha, aka our Matrix-based chat. Read the rentry for more information!
Finally, if you use pronouns that are not yet available to be selected, please DM the site admins and they are very happy to help! My own pronouns (ze/zir) weren’t on the site till I asked for them.
We hope you all have fun and enjoy the community here! 
Hi I’m trans been on hrt for nearly 6 months yay I’ve just came from Bluesky and I’m loving it xx
(apologies in advance for vent/language) I am almost 50. Transitioning is a relatively recent thing. I spent years on Twitter. Last month I left for what I thought would be bluer, safer skies. Then the pedo apologist came and was allowed to stay, even after explicitly stating he was intent on making life hell for us. I’m tired. I’m just fucking tired. And then someone told me about this place. After just over a day, I’m loving it. But, being frank, I’m still a touch wary . But the energy is…hopeful? Make sense?
Was anyone able to join Tracha recently? I tried a couple of times, but it just says that I’m not invited
Ok try it now. I think we were able to fix it. Apologies for the issues btw.
No worries! Yup, it works now, thank you
Yayyyy!!!
Hi! What’s your matrix just curious? I can invite you right now until we get the room stuff figured out. You can DM it to me if you’d like.

Hiya! Excited to be here. Seems really nice so far
I’m in the process of trying to familiarize myself with this place. I attempted to join the group chat, but can’t seem to get it to work. I get an error message.
I’ll send you an invite and see if that works!
Edit: Forgot that I switched accounts and no longer have mod permissions. I’ll get it to work!
Thanks
I’ve sent you an invite, let me know if there are any further issues
It looks like the invite worked. I’m not getting the error message and have some text that says loading pinned messages. However there might be an issue as nothing is loading. I’ll check again tomorrow. Thank you.
No problem. If you’re new to matrix, you may need to verify your device before things show up. Also messages from before you joined will probably not show up
It worked, thanks again.
Try DMing me on matrix. I’m @ashenwolf:matrix.org, it’s also on my profile, and if you haven’t gotten in yet I’ll do what I can in the morning. There seems to be some sort of issue as of right now though.
Thanks, I think you’re right about there being an issue. It looks like the invite worked, but nothing is loading at the moment.
Hello! This whole site is gonna take a lot of getting used to.
Thanks! This seems like a fun and cool place.
Seems lighthearted so far. I’m still trying to figure out all the buttons haha
Thank you! It seems a cool and fun place to be!
aaaaaaaaaaaa hi, can’t wait to figure all this out! heard a lot of good things! <3

Didn’t post anywhere trans before this comment and mostly posts on Lemmy world. Bye loser stop telling trans people what to do
Just 'cause your userbase is 97% klansgender does not make you any kind of safe space for Black and brown queers
klansgender
stealing that
oh hey it’s the exact kind of horrible behavior i mentioned on bluesky wow
Rushing into this thread to call us the wrong, bad queers so fast you left friction burns on the floor.
worst shill award 🎖️
Is that where all the new folks are coming from? Was there a recruitment drive or something?
Bluesky is having some issues with a transphobe, so a relatively popular left-wing account posted about a partial move to Hexbear. That’s my understanding, at least.
Swag
I mean not the transphobe stuff but swag that people are coming here
Also if it’s alright I’m real quickly gonna plug https://hexbear.net/c/howdy here which is a comm for introducing yourself (but only if you’re comfortable doing so of course).
Ty for the plug! Honestly I’ve never made an intro post myself…
Well, you’re always welcome to of course if you ever feel up to it. Also ty for making this post btw.

What’ve I missed? Who’re all these new people?
Welcome everyone! I wanted to add that there’s a thread for general help, PSAs, resources, and surveys here: https://hexbear.net/post/3016455.
