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.

That's awesome, but wasnt there a whole debacle with lots of instances defederating from hexbear? If it was so, I never heard it was a trans positiv community (I hope I'm wrong). I always heard beehaw was the trans 💖. Please enlighten me!
I missed most of it myself, but I remember reading about it when it happened. World made a statement about it back then. https://lemmy.world/post/2498330
Thanks! I knew there was something rotten in that instance. Wanting to dismantle the west, indeed, a very pro LGBT stance they have. Good luck being LGBT in one of the fine dictatorships like Russia (where trans is seen as a mental disease, probably the most lenient of those dictatorships, in Iran it's a death sentence).
Yeah I'll keep myself at beehaw and leave hexbear to the pro dictator fachos.
Lol yeah the west is so pro LGBT. Just ignore the hundreds of proposed anti-trans bills in the USA, or the mass incarceration/prison violence towards trans people, or the widespread medical gatekeeping, or the fact that being LGBT (especially T) makes you way more likely to be homeless, or how even the supposedly left Labour Party has taken a huge rightward swing under Queer Harmer. If you actually think there’s any hope of freedom for LGBT people in the western world you are a fucking idiot. Go read a book and you might yet be able to pull the worms out of your brain. Rainbow Solidarity in Defense of Cuba by Leslie Feinberg is a great one if you want to see what a country actually trying to improve the lives of LGBT people looks like.
Ooh an anti trans bill vs death sentenc. What is worst??! Are you deluded or paid off to tell all this bs lol.
You're all hate too, stay at hexbeer please.
not paid, just an american trans woman who’s tired of suffering in this piece of shit country, and sick to death of chauvinistic pigs like you.
no. i’ll say whatever i want to scum bags like you. deal with it.
yeah yeah yeah just plug your ears and close your eyes. erase my identity because i don’t conform to your narrow minded worldview. i’ll give you one thing, you’re damn right i’m hateful. i’ve spent my whole life in the west and hated every miserable minute of it. keep defending my oppressors all you like though, i’m sure the colonial murder machine will pay you back graciously one day
The nerve to be coming in here and telling trans people they aren't who they fucking are.
