Nope. Blocked the community and all the users who replied. Go dig around in their trashcan of an instance if you like. Or just tell them you're trans and want to make sure Trump doesn't get into office so you don't have to flee the country and watch them come out of the woodwork.
Hexchan ain't really doing any better. Sure are patting themselves on the back about what great allies they are though! I know that's what I like in an ally, not actual help with the whole rights thing, but empty posturing and condescension!
Keep it up!
That sounds like a happy cat who gets to have a healthy relationship with being inside or outside.
Imma make it stick.
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.
I live in Massachusetts. We are a very blue state and we're one of the best places in the world to transition. We have informed consent, legal protection of our basic rights, and mandatory insurance coverage of trans health care, which state insurance also covers. Whatever you think of the DNC, the Democrats in Massachusetts are absolutely allies of trans people who've worked to actively protect our rights.
Still, I'm well aware of the danger that federal law could potentially pose. I know there may be a time when I have to flee the country if things get bad enough, and that's a lot more likely under Trump.
But they don't actually care about my rights, happiness, or safety, or those of any other trans people. They don't care what happens to us, they just want to use us as a bludgeon to dunk on people.
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.
So what, you just keep them locked up and anxious forever? Is that punishment for the birds?
Like, what's your angle?
My right to exist. I'm a trans woman who is very aware that I may need to flee the country in the next few years depending on where things go. I'm extremely aware of the attacks on my life and my access to the medication I need. This shit is not abstract for me.
There's a very big difference between having lipservice support from the federal government while living in a state that's literally one of the best places on Earth to transition, and hoping said state will protect me from a federal government that's actively hostile.
Are federal Democrats actively allies to trans people? Eh.
Are Massachusetts Democrats? You bet your ass they are. We've got more rights than trans people in most of the EU. We have informed consent, mandatory insurance coverage for trans health care, actual legal protection from discrimination.
You act like there's no difference, but I'm literally better protected here than I would be anywhere outside of like maybe like the Netherlands.
I'm not in this to act like a high school child, I'm in it because people want to fucking wipe me and everyone like me out.
I ain't from hexchan. Just somebody who thinks animals should be treated decently and not just collected.
I mean, you don't actually have to take other species prisoner at all.
I don't know, a lot of people are pretty shit to their cats and the cats don't seem to have much say over the situation.
If you're like a happy cat with a nice place to live and freedom to explore or hang out at home according to your whims, that's probably a pretty okay life for the most part. But if you're an 'indoor' cat spending your entire life locked in a small space that may be cramped, dirty, or scary, that's a pretty different thing.
The contradiction of pet ownership is kinda fucked. Like, how are you going to try to keep a cat who desperately wants to escape trapped inside and pretend it's your buddy rather than your prisoner?
Same with people who have dogs that they just leave penned up or tied to a post all the time. How can anyone think that's any kind of life?
Humans are monsters.
Out here desperately hoping that the fake leftists propping up Trump are mostly Russian trolls or just a pocket of internet children. I think actual real life people on the left in the US largely get how dangerous this could be.
I'm a leftist and a trans woman. My rights, you chud.
For that: see the other comments in this thread. Bunch of people basking in the privilege of their rights not being directly threatened. Give me a fucking break.
Ain't a leftist to be seen.
Harvard has its CS50 lectures online for free. Can't hurt.
See, this is why I don't trust y'all. How can you pretend to be leftist when to you the fundamental difference between Trump and any other political administration is literally just that he's rude.
How is it that nothing else, from the rights of workers and of oppressed minorities to the protection of the environment to access to health care and education, means anything?
If none of that means anything more than being rude or not, you're not a leftist. You're a cosplayer.
Extras are really nice if you decide to pick up a macro pad and you want to match the style.
I'll have to check out the effects pedal knobs! I have an actual guitar knob on mine, but I had to sand down the underside a bit to get it to have enough clearance to click easily. I'll have to check out effects pedal knobs!
I do believe I said "immediately attacking and dogpiling trans women who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump", not using transphobic slurs or whatever.
Nice astroturfing, though. I see you out here.
