Yeah I remember that back when I was on Reddit, it was really bad. Some of them even ended up being transphobic towards transmascs, i.e. "Take the pink pill to get rid of your 'toxic, masculine mannerisms' ". I'm very glad this place isn't like that for the most part, feels much more pleasant and inviting.

They exited on mutual agreement I guess

Well technically not mutual agreement until/unless we also defederate from them. Which I still am in support of.

I think we should still consider defederating them, in case they change their mind later and decide to come back and harass us (they've been known to engage in this sort of behavior). Honestly I just heard about this before I came on but I have heard drama from Hexbear in the past and in all honesty even if they do defederate I'm all for mutual defederation.

One of them made a post on Egg_irl with Astolfo which seems to be almost saying that they think Femboys and GNC are just trans girls in denial. Really didn't sit well with me since I know that that kind of think is very hurtful to Femboys and has been very hurtful to me as well as an Agender.

I just checked Hexbear and it appears there so that's good I guess. Glad my message won't be falling on deaf ears though that might only be true in the literal sense unfortunately (willing to bet that they probably won't see what's wrong with their analogy here).

Femboys exist and are valid, this post feels hostile towards people who are gender-nonconforming, as if to say that a femboy is just "trans in-denial" which is extremely hurtful, it's denying their gender identity, you are telling them that the gender they identify as is wrong because of gender stereotypes.

The fact that your post includes Astolfo who is a femboy seems to push this idea that all femboys are transfems in denial which is really bad.

Edit: Just realized that Hexbear Defederated so the OP will probably never see this or be able to respond, Honestly good riddance, if this is what we're going to deal with.

Everyone regardless of gender should try skirts at least once in their life. I personally think they're awesome, especially it hot weather.

What feeling did they bottle? Is it a good one?

This, definitely only use paper meant for smoking. I tried using newspaper a while back and it was awful.

Honestly though I don't really smoke it anymore, I prefer edibles since Smoking is rather unpleasant in general for me (and does still hurt your lungs and gums, even if it's not tobacco).

There are no words to describe what a shitty person this is. I bet he's also a scab in the current Reddit protests trying to kiss up to spez for some crappy Reddit merch.

Long hair is awesome, I know that unfortunately it's considered feminine by gender stereotypes but that never stopped me from growing it out. Did cause problems with my school thinking I was (binary) trans though and trying to corner me with gross questions about "wanting to be a girl" that I didn't want to discuss with them (was mostly teachers trying to get into this with me).

Pro tip: There are tools specifically made for opening jars so even if they do that, just get one of these tools and you'll never have to ask someone else to open a jar for you again. There are also ones that work with different sized Jars and even twist off bottle caps as well.

Here are some pictures of them by the way (in case anyone is in doubt of their existence):

A standard traditional one (this is what I have)

This one is marketed as "arthritis friendly"

This one is an alternative one similar to the first but with a different method of selecting size.

I'm not sure exactly why it is to be honest. I've heard a few theories on why though.

Disclaimer: these are theories I have heard from people in the community, they are not my own.

1. There are just more transfem people on Reddit and reddit-like platforms due to there being more males on Reddit and thefore more transfem trans people:

One theory I've heard from people is that because Reddit is supposedly meant more for men than it is for women a larger majority of trans people there will be transfem. It seems like a plausible reason for why there are so many transfem posts but it does little to explain the hostile treatment of transmasc and enbies on its own.

2. There are more transfem people than transmasc + nonbinary:

Another theory I've heard is that there's just more transfem people than transmasc and nonbinary. This one doesn't seem likely because there isn't much evidence to back it up besides the abundance of transfem posts in the community and also people claiming it's better (that's very subjective by the way, transmascs would say the same thing about being a man). On top of being unsubstantiated it also reeks of terf rhetoric since I've heard similar reasoning from them i.e. trying to say men will go extinct because they'll all become women 🙄. I've also seen quite a few polls with numbers significantly higher in transmasc and nonbinary numbers so that kind of dismantles this one then and there.

3. Transfems are louder to combat more stronger transphobia

This theory basically says that it's not that there are more or less of any group but rather that transfems are louder in order to combat the immense amount of more direct and/or violent transphobia that they are targeted with. I heard this one in a trans community in a discussion about violence towards trans women. In some ways it makes sense since often trans women are more often seen as predators and attacked for it though it doesn't mean they experience more transphobia than anyone else. Transmascs still experience quite a lot of it but it's more subtle and typically less violent (except in cases where they're mistaken for trans women which sadly isn't uncommon). This one also reeks of terf rhetoric to me since I've heard lots of them say that transfems are loud and proud so I can't say for certain how accurate it actually is.

These are just a few theories I've heard people talk about when it comes to this phenomenon, there are also a few others but I'm not going to bring them up because they're either straight up completely bigoted arguments or they don't make any coherent sense whatsoever (sometimes both). Also it's important to take theories like this with a grain of salt, they may have elements that are true to them but they also have issues with them as well which could lead you astray. I don't think this isn't an issue it definitely is and I know a lot of transmascs and nonbinaries who have experienced invalidation in some way related to this or have been told that we matter less. I'm not really sure how we could solve this problem though.
