A problem easily solved by having mandatory pronoun tag. Hexbear stays winnning.

Enters a room full of trans people

Misgenders everyone

Well actually male is the default so

I wish I could speak to another trans femme without them bringing up and gushing over fucking contrapoints, philosophy tube or some other breadtuber.

That instance feels like it's full of those types who talk down to you about their paper thin understanding of politics and social justice because "CONTRAPOINTS SAID SO!" or fucking Philosophy Tube ergghhhhhhh and if you have a take left of starmer they scream authoritarian.

Gunna go in for a hard read now on blahaj.zone so bare with me.

BEING A MINORITY DOESN'T MAKE YOU A DECENT PERSON OR MAKE YOU MAGICALLY UNDERSTAND SOCIAL JUSTICE. LOG OFF AND READ A BOOK!

I don't hate philosophy tube etc to be clear, I just find their videos to be self indulgent slop and her fan base to consistently be insufferable privileged and chauvinistic liberal white trans femmes that usually speak for others (themselves, they ignore anyone else trans) and are kinda problematic vs recognising there's a thousands more of us who don't earn dollar doing software dev and that our needs and material conditions are just as important as their own.

Removing criticism of transphobia because "the evil hexbears" is fucking wild.

Placing anticommunism above transphobia on your priorities list guarantees a slide into fascism. Once you start covering up and defending bigotry as long as the bigots are anticommunists you give the perfect cover for fascists to fuck around in your space. By the time a server owner realises that they've made everyone non-fascist leave (or conform to the culture they create thus becoming part of them) they end up just accepting it because doing anything about it would mean killing the entire community population. Because the narcissistic power of being community owner comes first.

What kind of supposedly trans-friendly space has a bunch of people defending defaulting to male and getting upvoted? That shit would get dogpiled and banned here. It's really basic stuff, like on top of being misgendering it's also sexist. What is this, the 1800's? Simone de Beauvoir was criticizing it in the 40's.

"I don't like politics" people are actually the devil incarnate

Someone in there is positing that hexbear users are upvoting that post.

I mean, I guess we could make accounts on other servers, but we're defederated so that's kind of a hassle lol

trans people should come here, especially to traa and other lgbt spaces here. even if they arent hard left we'd treat them better.

Yeah, not surprised by this. Harboring chasers and kicking out trans communists is a great way to make your community a shithole of reactionary jerks.

God that place is quickly becoming a fucking cesspool

Lol, everyone predicted that anti communist “leftist” spaces devolve to this. Maybe they should listen

Yeah Ada does genuinely seem to have good intentions but she's like letting a lot of idk, kind of scummy people fester in the instance, like i made a post about native blahaj users being chasery at me on there and to her credit Ada found it and DMed me about it, but the user who came at me really aggressively and accused me of being chaserphobic (in reply to me telling a cishet male chaser I would be uncomfortable with being in a relationship with anyone who talked about trans people the way they did) only had their comment removed with a request to edit it to remove the bit where they called me chaserphobic, they didn't even get banned from the comm.

(In regards to the other chaser, I suggested that since they were seemingly a child they'd just get a stern talking to in DMs and a warning and Ada agreed to that)

I guess the post got 1984'd because I don't see it anymore.

this is the hugest self-own I’ve seen. you run an instance for trans people you goddamn fucking prick

196.zone strikes again

fellas is it gay to gender people correctly
