The intense irony of a user joining a specifically trans safe space instance and then shouting about how trans people they don't like are just pretending is just upsetting.
The fact this person uses the word "whiteknight" tells me they're a right wing shit bag agitator. They're the only fuckos that use the word, typically alongside outdated bangers like "snowflake" and "sjw" but this one is trying (and failing) to mask.
Will blahaj recognise that and do anything about it? Fuck no they won't, because anticommunism is more important to them than trans people even if it means fascising online spaces.
cool! love to be accused of pretending to be trans, something that definitely isn't mostly leveraged against trans women to accuse them of just being men trying to enter women's spaces!
Claims hexbears get offended by anyone for any reason. Is also deeply offended by hexbear just existing even though they defederated months ago and don't see any hexbear posts anymore.
Yep. Seems like a reasonable person that is saying reasonable things.
They do this there a lot, and it just makes me sad for them because it indicates a complete detachment from real life trans community.
Like, if you're moving within the community irl, you're gonna meet a lot trans people who will fall into all kinds of buckets. Radlibs with extra padding on all the edges, toocute girl who's going to tell you about juche, prepper libertarian-coded people, self-loathers who closed their tttt tab before leaving the house, crusty polycule commune folks, tonnnns of people 196ers would call "tankies", and so on and so on.
I don't like the blahaj vibe, but I understand who in my community hangs out there. Any poster who can't even conceptualize who is posting here on hexbear, and have to propose that it's all fake, just doesn't have contact with any real life community. I think you'd have to be cut off entirely, except for some insular online spaces. Which it's more sad than anything else.
I guess the crying myself to sleep and the literal heartache I get isn't because of what I see in the mirror! And the upheaval of my well established life is for funzies. Brb, gotta go tell my therapist that she diagnosed me wrong too.
If this jackass ever reads this thread - log off and rethink your life.
This shit annoys me more than the usual transphobia from chuds. I'd like one of those so called "ally" lib fuckheads to try and say that to my face. If they want to erase my gender I'll erase their face.
Whoa whoa whoa, hold up. They're willing to invalidate the fact that I'm trans simply because I'm from this site? People seriously need to grow the fuck up and touch grass. Jesus fucking christ, get a life, kid.
Quite literally one of the last posts on the old subreddit before pulled the plug on us was a heartfelt thank you from a trans person for being a place that was open and welcoming to them.
And I still think it's fucking funny people would play let alone defend the mid ass game that is Hogwart's Legacy. Like damn, not only are you a shitty transphobe, but you also have complete shit tastes in games lmao
Nothing says "I'm an ally of a thing" than going out of your way to try to erase the thing. Nice job blahaj real good trans friendly space you got going on there.
honestly wish that i could say something funny about this but it just makes me fucking sick. these people are literally off in their own worlds after defederation making shit up about me and about my trans comrades and absolutely invalidating our experiences. and like, I know I'm not adding anything here, we all know what this is and me saying it directly isn't new information but i really, genuinely find it distressing.
how fucking dare they, honestly.
i have never felt more welcomed and at home on any other place on the internet, or hell in real life even. i've never felt more seen than i do here. and if it's not someone else's cup of tea then fine, I can respect that, but don't go posting to the world that i and we aren't "really trans". i would never do that to them.
sorry for an uninteresting comment. this one just really got to me...
programming.dev admin's solution is to have admins use anonymouse alt accounts to indulge in male-cishet-crackerism? Or am I misunderstanding what they wrote?
Im glad we defederated from blahaj, they are one of the worst lemmy instances for sure, in their post about defederating programingdev most users were ok with transphobia if they keep being federated with other instances
So I make sure i'm following, Hexbear users confronted a programming.dev admin on Lemmy.ml about Hogwarts game, and Blahaj decided to defed even though they hate HB and (some of their users) think trans HB users are faking being trans?
This is genuinely very upsetting to read. I've had more issues with the lemmygrad folks (who I am a part of) and it's only on the minutia of leftist infighting, not policy or ideology, and especially not on gender issues. Hexbears have been amazing, so I really wonder if this person is characterizing arguments that they disagree with as facile. I was lucky to have people show me where my reactionary tendencies were when I transitioned, but this is something else entirely.
Sorry for the rant. This frustrated me greatly, especially since like 90% of the hexbears I see are pronouned up trans people who kick ass.
The audacity for them to try this when we require pronouns and display them prominently but sure, we must be really committed to the bit. So much that we have several communities and do reading groups as well.
Maybe they should join us in reading through Trans Liberation, they might actually learn a thing or two.
I'm so glad I ditched that instance for here. I might lurk a lot but I know this place has got my back. I love my comrades!
Thankfully their account got purged, I don't understand how people can think everyone who disagrees with them is a troll, so much so that they end up being Transphobic. What an echo chamber.
We may be antisocial, but that's only because everyone except for us is a piece of shit neo-nazi. And transphobic? This is the only online community where even being okay with trans people ISN'T a crime punishable by death.
The entire thread is like 50% chuds adjacent comments.
Here are a few highlight so you don't have to see that dumpsterfire for yourselves:
A cisset telling trans peoples to stop being triggered and someone denying antisemitism in HP.
Lol!
"I'm not owned! I don't respond because they are troll, not because I don't have a responce! Look at them! They are all bayting and agressive and mean and they scare me waaaa!"
Bug up to the trans comrades in the replies btw
"Continuing to use they/them when you know the person's pronouns isn't transphobic guys! They don't have pronouns in this other language, which is totaly relevent to this conversation!"
