Shout to the guy lying and claiming we defederated when it was lemmy.world that defedded us before we even federated lmao
Or the guys lying and saying that you're right-wing anti-LGBT people masquerading as leftist?
I never know if i should be more repulsed by the sheer amount of transphobia in that kind of comments or just completely baffled by how ignorant and clueless these people are. First time i saw that in the wild, it was by some guy who thought that it's suspicious when his replies include pronouns like, i shit you not, he / him, she / her, they / them and any / undecided. Made him think we're Russian bots with pronouns set to shuffle. Like mfer have you been living under a rock, there wasn't even a single neopronoun or she / it catgirl in there! Any irl trans meetup i've even been to had a wider pronoun selection than that. When other users pressed him on that, he admitted that he had never talked to a trans person in his life, which is probably better for all the trans people he could run into.

I don't know. Lack of exposure to different people and cultures is often a root cause of hatred and LGBTQ+ phobia. To be clear, I'm not advocating throwing trans people at transphobes with literal or figurative catapults in order to fight transphobia. Just that ignorance and narrow world experience tends to breed such attitudes, when they aren't adopted explicitly to try to control people.
You’re onto something with the firing catapults at transphobes part. We just need to workshop it a little more.
Which is hilarious considering how much better we are at banning transphobia than most other instances
in fact i did a survey of other online trans communities and we have the most trans positive admins and mods of any one group. (for example, we have 26 mods/admins patrolling the reports of /c/traa and removing transphobic content)
at some point, ideally once we reopen registrations, i intend on getting more trans people to this platform so they can be in a nicer place free of transphobic rhetoric rather than being constantly under siege on places like reddit where mods experience burnout incredibly fast
That's amazing. I don't envy the mods for the efforts necessary to keep this space safe but really appreciate them and am glad that they are being so effective for the trans community here.
i pretty much just went to every trans subreddit and places like susans place and counted the number of mods and admins. nothing really got close to 26. its pretty easy to vet trans positive mods here too, if you havent caught a ban in 1+ years of being here odds are you arent a shithead
As a cis/het person close to several trans people, this is one of the top reasons that I appreciate this instance. Moderation around transphobia is not as consistent in other instances, which allows hate to extend its reach, and puts lives at greater risk.
I like the ones where they go looking for a fight in our instance, then use that as reason to defed lol
I think we've done alright tbh
I would say that also sometimes folks are mistakenly thought to be picking a fight and can get a bit singed. But I can live with experiencing a little bit of hurt feelings and char (Maillard reactions produce excellent flavor) if it means that people from groups that actually face oppression are safer.
But, I have also seen exactly what you're mentioning. And there are some users who are absolutely obsessed with painting Hexbears as evil and requiring defederation - I blocked one from shitjustworks because I got tired of seeing their obsessive postings trying for "gotchas".
It's so cool being told by liberals that I'm faking my gender and politics to score political points online when I've spent literally years trying to avoid being online, and it's all because I have the wrong views about
or somethingeven though socialism is a strong undercurrent in the trans community since stonewall, and there was even a book written about it by leslie feinberg in the 90s?
You're not supposed to bring historical context into this!!! /s
I was called a bigot by 7 or 8 different people because I dared to suggest that when someone finishes transitioning, they are no longer trans.
Lol bruh that is bigoted, it reinforces the gender binary. Dude was so confident about this they responded to multiple comments with this.
Checked to see what that one got banned for and...

Person with weird stance on transpeople is in fact a transphobe.
"It's a complicated issue. On the one hand, I am credulous enough to swallow the bait of this wedge issue hook-line-and-sinker. On the other hand, I actually am bigoted but don't want to admit it."
I remember that bigot. It was more than 7-8 times especially if you count jokes that implied he was a bigot
its pretty funny, but i don't know if having transphobia as a site tagline is a good idea
I say this person and yeah, this is one of the most wildly bigoted takes masquerading as pro-trans I've ever seen. Absolute truscum teansmedicalist garbage. Non-binary erasure. If I were of less sound mind I'd go make an account on that instance and ask if they have any clue what a gender fluid person is, or genderqueer, or asexual.
Finish transitioning? Who even decides that? When they're cis passing? And this person is completely unchallenged in that thread. Over here they'd be ripped apart and probably banned. Is this why these liberal shitheads think we're so aggressive? They're so used to spouting off transphobia and getting no pushback on it.
@Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net you're famous, there are at least five screenshots from your comments in that thread, kinda jealous ngl
i like how theyre acting like catradora has unlimited power but is only just a mod of traa
also those posts are fucking hilarious
people then piled on saying how I was a hypocrite and deserved violence brought against me, because violence has been done by cops agains homeless and trans people. also, that all I care about is getting brunch
lol, that comment is directed at me. they reported a comment for a reason that bordered on transphobia, so i @d them and called them a coward for hiding in the reports. now theyre crying to their lib friends. @JudahBenHur@lemm.ee how about you come and defend your report, coward
Wow those comments really show the limits of liberal tolerance of LGBT+
I saw that person and it's the most ludicrous position I've ever heard. I think I get the idea they don't regard NB people as real too. Finish transitioning? Who decides that?
I think this person is what's called truscum, as in, they think being trans is entirely HRT and surgery. Once the surgery is complete, then that's when the transition is over? What an confusingly stupid opinion.
That person is complaining we called them a bigot and they go out of their way to say weird bigoted things
exactly lol. to them being trans is a disease that is simply fixed with a medical procedure, not a social position within coercive gendered society.
when someone finishes transition, they are no longer trans
lol i wish. when the doctor says im done with transition do i get a sudden magical girl transformation at the end?
Updating your name and gender at the DMV and they hand over your state mandated Sailor Moon cosplay over the desk
I'm assuming there will be religious exemptions for some people who prefer Cardcaptor Sakura
Until then it's practically mandatory that you constantly say, "This isn't even my final form!"
Ever wanted to be talked down to by a 14 year old alt-right sociopath who pretends to support lgbt so they can stealthily insult liberals and blame western whites for how China is?
holy fuck I laughed out loud at this outside by myself at ten to 1am … I didnt know what hexbear was, soooo, I reported a post for saying that anyone who ever supports a democratic candidate in america needs to be hit by a truck, and that violence needs to befall them, so the mod I reported it to posted my username and announced I had reported it in a comment to that post. people then piled on saying how I was a hypocrite and deserved violence brought against me, because violence has been done by cops agains homeless and trans people. also, that all I care about is getting brunch
lmao these people are so willfully ignorant it's amazing.
alt-right
?
blame western whites for how China is
??
pretends to support lgbt
???
stealthily insult liberals
??????
Perhaps they're talking about a different hexbear?
Btw, imagine being so america-brained that you think politics boils down to either brunch liberal, republican or secret republican
stealthily insult liberals
they have pics of me telling them to kill themselves, idk why they think im stealthy
pretends to support lgbt
I have studied the political compass, and noticed that in order to be auth left, which we know that hexbear is, one has to hate lgbt people and immigrants.
QED.
so the mod I reported it to posted my username and announced I had reported it in a comment to that post.
I don't remember doing that, have other mods started to do the thing too?
Edit: I got the answer, it was zooms who named and shamed that clown
What even is the alt-right anyway? To me it feels like a term that was created by libs a decade ago to just describe fascism.
I think it was created by fash to launder their shit into the mainstream. I.e. Richard Spenser on CNN type shit.
It was definitely created by fascists, but it was equally useful to libs and "normal" conservatives to pretend that there's some kind of distinction between fascists and mainstream political figures. It was only ever a branding exercise, but now it doesn't even nominally refer to a distinct faction. Anyone who takes it seriously isn't paying attention.
I feel like it cropped up around 2016 to describe the people who held the exact same beliefs as every elected republican but were actually honest about their beliefs instead of starting every sentence with "I'm not racist buuuttt....."
Have to differentiate them from liberal darlings like the fucking Rodney's, McCains, and goddamn Cheyneys.

here you go
It was a term used by liberals to just mean conservatives who extra mean and didn't do interviews with liberal journalists.
It was entirely to spread the idea that Mitt Romney style Republicans are normal and worthy of respect, instead of white supremacists who more openly admit to it.
so the mod I reported it to posted my username and announced I had reported it in a comment to that post.
to our beautiful modsEven people against federation should be able to agree that the tagline generation has been unprecedented
Some of them are sharing their bad opinions but most are just outright lying. How shit of a person do you have to be to lie on the internet smhsmih
The Office is one of the most neoliberal shows I've seen, until I saw Parks and Rec (shoutout to that Biden scene lmao)
you should watch the UK version it's far more cynical and views the boss as a loser. It's also the first and last time Ricky Gervais was funny
It actually maintained the original concept that working in an office sucks instead of thebus version which took about 1 season to start glorifying office work as a bunch of quirky people doing pranks on each other.
Funnily enough, Parks and Rec was one of my favourite shows back when I was a lib and I read a post on the subreddit about Biden being a huge creep and the show shouldn't glamorize him
Lotta holocaust trivialization going on in that thread.
If only people would see this link under posts that were "le both sides" https://jewishcurrents.org/the-double-genocide-theory
Uncritical support to our megabillionaire tankie overlords who are apparently PAYING Lemmy admins across the Fediverse to keep mention of our communism quiet. SHUSH EVERYONE IT'S A SECRET.
a lot of Lemmy admins are actually on the take from dumbass tankies. Actually the two Lemmy devs are tankies too, or so the word on the street says. No one wants to even consider that, though.
