Interesting note on cis women https://hexbear.net/comment/4782033
Holy shit we queer AF
Trans supremacy 😔✊️
Hexbear is one of those instances that has a bad reputation. One of which is for being anti trans and yet the data says something different, unless they all hate themselves. In my experience of their users though, they’re a decent bunch, polite and insightful. Though admittedly, I’m not in many of the main communities on Lemmy, so tend to miss most things.
Hexbear has a bad reputation for many reasons, but I’ve never heard anyone claim that they’re anti trans. They are known for being incredibly protective of their trans members.
Hexbear’s biggest detractors often call them anti-queer. Mostly because of an idea that western imperialists are at least nice to queer people and that anti-imperialist governments, including historically communist ones, have been staunchly anti-queer across the board. Of course, the truth is more complicated on both sides. Either way, western influence on the world has been a disaster for queer people everywhere.
I feel like most of the hexbear users I’ve run into live up to their negative reputation. Maybe the communities I see just bring out the worst users from that server for some reason.
you’re on a clown instance with hits like “I dont see trans women as women” and regularly gets spammed with transphobic diatribes, why not move to a better instance rather than associate with filth?
say whatever you want about tankies (re: the dreaded wokes), theyve carved out a safe spot for trans people and the numbers show it
the west punishes queer people just as much as russia in many places. china is basically neutral, though the largest cities, particularly shanghai, have a lot of trans resources. communists support progressive historical forces, you cannot have progress under imperialism, and many right wing and queerphobic countries are in a struggle against imperialism, of which often imposed these queerphobic ideas on them. i assume you’re an anarchist and trans, right? you need to get your head out of your ass and stop attacking other trans people that agree with you on 99.9% of things.
Hexbear users don’t think any differently, in fact they’re worse than average, they just don’t say that part out loud.
this is just fucking absurd. straight up lies.
Before western religion China had many representations of diverse gender identity and accepted homosexuality. Western governments sterilized, imprisoned and killed trans and gay people! This continues to this day, there are more murders of trans people in the united states than Russia or China COMBINED and multiplied by 15!
Cuba has the most progressive legal framework of protection for trans or gay people in the world.
No investigation, no right to speak!
If you’re cishet in the fediverse, keep that shit to yourself. Nobody wants to hear about your gender reveal party.
