If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

Mr. Roy Schestowitz is the ringleader in a hate campaign involving transgender and disability discrimination on his website Techrights and his wife’s Tux Machines site. This involved doxxing, defamation and group stalking that made me feel unsafe and discriminated against.

The bald faced lies he published are designed to spread hate and transphobia towards me and other transgender individuals by defaming me and making fabrications to destroy my reputation online. He is engaging in pure DARVO, pretending to be a victim when he is the perpetrator.

Roy seems to think that labeling me as a criminal is justification to publish transphobic articles. This is seriously problematic. This is a tactic used by the far-right to demonize transgender people.
