I just got a message from a trans friend saying they got banned from /r/trans for trying to post the feinberg image I made some time ago. They messaged me, saying they were crying, because they got banned from 4 trans subreddits because of it and they were one of their only places of support and was so shocked that it was against the rules. They were already harassed off reddit once. I mentioned they could come here.

Its so fucking crazy that literally the 2-5% of trans people, liberals, were able to get ahold of the trans subreddits and hold our communities hostage, fragment them, and purge any trans people that want to fight and advocate for third world trans people who are literally having bombs dropped on their heads. I spend half my time on here going through ban logs to make sure as many trans people get to be here as possible and are dealt with leniently because of shit like this.

    thank you for showing me this site, it seems more welcoming. i am a lurker by nature at this point but i really appreciate you noticing my removal

    you have now signed up for nonbinary hijra facts.

    did you know bahuchara is a hindu transgender god that rides a giant rooster? this leads to a lot of innuendo.

      Hey, welcome and

      bunch of questions, you don't need to answer them, really, it's just bugging the hell out of me

      I hope this is not demanding something impossible/unduly strenuous, but I have been told that Hijra are so distinct from trans people that you can't really compare them and that calling Hijra transgender is gender colonialism. Would you say this is accurate? If so, how (not)? And (how) do the various western transgender groups interact with them? Are there grounds for a common perspective? Is it too different? Does it matter at all?

      Thank you so much

      I heard that big gaudy feathers are common metaphors for erections in Hindu mythology. (This was from a very white philosophy adjunct professor who had spent a lot of time studying Hindu texts, so maybe right but probably wrong)
