I’ve been having a number of conversations on Hexchan recently trying to make sense of their politics. The most common instance of their hateful hypocrisy I’ve encountered is this constant assurance that they support trans people while immediately attacking and dog piling and trans people who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump.

The hexchanners who aren’t actively Russian trolls seem to be little more than useful idiots for conservatives, minimizing the damage they do to vulnerable populations and engaging in high school level pettiness and hate.

      Your argument is good, but is it actually the case that it is not only among the best places in the world to transition but also a good place to transition?

          race is also a major factor. my white trans femme friends have never been harassed or attacked but I have - usually by other BIPOC. I've been chased out of pharmacies, out of restaurant bathrooms, out of grocery stores, and I've straight up been chased by a proud boy march that caught me off guard, with the clear intent to beat me. safety is relative to race and class.
