First and foremost: I am not a truscum, transmedicalist, whatever. I believe every trans person should have access to medical aid they need (HRT, surgery, etc.). I believe in xenogenders and use neopronouns for people who use them. I myself am agender.
Apparently I was banned 9 months ago. I never made a truscum comment. I just realized that my comments weren’t passed on, and didn’t federate. I feel a bit sad of being disconnected from a part of the community on the fediverse.
Don’t take this the wrong way, but they might actually have done you a favor. Blahaj.zone is a really shitty place for trans people. Not only they do tolerate chasers, but they act like any heavy handed approach to moderation in order to protect the trans community is “authoritarian”. And then when these same chasers start lashing out at trans people because they dare to call a chaser out on something they’ve said (or like what happened recently when they asked to have their neopronouns respected), they act surprised.
We’ve had multiple talks with one of their admins in the past, because we were both interested in federating. These talks went nowhere because their admin would demand we make changes to our community to accommodate them, while simultaneously not being willing to make any changes themselves (like getting rid of chasers). To this day, this admin is still publicly lying about the reason why these talks fell through, and they’ll occasionally talk shit about us. The most disgusting thing they’ve done so far though, is claiming that trans people on Hexbear are not trans, essentially denying people’s gender identity. That’s just straight up transphobia, and as far as I’m concerned that has burned all bridges.
So in short: fuck 'em. Don’t feel sad, because we have the best trans community in the fediverse.

To clarify, the admin didn’t say this, but yeah a lot of their users have been saying this
i wonder if they want to keep the chasers around to help boost their user base numbers.
IIRC the chasers came from 196 and that comm is like 90% of the instance’s traffic.
Yeah, Blahaj’s user base got a big boost from r/196 users who were looking for an alternative after the whole Reddit API controversy. They brought all the fetishization and V*ush
culture with them.– just like it is in all of the diet reddit instances
Uhhh, so I have to be in the blahaj zone to be trans now?
I’m sorry you had to learn like this
Just have to not be a “russian bot” or whatever they claim all hexbear users are.
Fuck them. I’m pretty sure I was in the discord community where the shork mascot was first recognised and the genesis of that community. I forget what I was kicked out over but it was clearly something stupid since I am a flawless, faultless individual.
A hugbox without theory is just a cult.
Lemmy blahaj is weird. They have butted heads with us in the past because they allow chasers in their ranks and we do not, among other things. They’ve been pretty bad faith all around, so I wouldn’t put much stock in what they think of you.
Not a huge loss anyway, they’re 90% va*shites.
Also this is gonna come off as anti-fun but I personally take issue with the biggest trans symbol being a product from a multinational conglomerate.
AY WELCOME TO THE GANG, GANG.
