I just got a message from a trans friend saying they got banned from /r/trans for trying to post the feinberg image I made some time ago. They messaged me, saying they were crying, because they got banned from 4 trans subreddits because of it and they were one of their only places of support and was so shocked that it was against the rules. They were already harassed off reddit once. I mentioned they could come here.

Its so fucking crazy that literally the 2-5% of trans people, liberals, were able to get ahold of the trans subreddits and hold our communities hostage, fragment them, and purge any trans people that want to fight and advocate for third world trans people who are literally having bombs dropped on their heads. I spend half my time on here going through ban logs to make sure as many trans people get to be here as possible and are dealt with leniently because of shit like this.

reddit-logo ruins everything

thank you for showing me this site, it seems more welcoming. i am a lurker by nature at this point but i really appreciate you noticing my removal

you have now signed up for nonbinary hijra facts.

did you know bahuchara is a hindu transgender god that rides a giant rooster? this leads to a lot of innuendo.

did you know that transgender people have their own town in India that transgender people seeking help flock to? did you also know that the temple to bahuchara in this town is state funded, very beautiful, and houses those trans people? i recommend visiting, the people there are great! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becharaji

sicko-wholesome Now that's awesome. Welcome to Hexbear! hexbear-trans

[-] Timberknave@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago

Hey, welcome and

bunch of questions, you don't need to answer them, really, it's just bugging the hell out of me

I hope this is not demanding something impossible/unduly strenuous, but I have been told that Hijra are so distinct from trans people that you can't really compare them and that calling Hijra transgender is gender colonialism. Would you say this is accurate? If so, how (not)? And (how) do the various western transgender groups interact with them? Are there grounds for a common perspective? Is it too different? Does it matter at all?

Thank you so much

Just putting it out in the void, are there any good online spaces beyond Hexbear for trans folks? I’m so done with reddit-logo . And beyond discord servers out there for transfem voice training, it’s frustrating.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

im not super aware of discord servers, never been my cup of tea. im more into front facing stuff.

susans place has a forum, and i know of some chinese trans sites on baidu tieba that are largely spammed by chasers, but outside of reddit, raddle.me and certain twitter, facebook pages, and tumblr hashtags... the pickings are slim. I want to try to drag people here so I look for removals on trans subreddits and try to bring people that are cool here

[-] bahuchara@hexbear.net 42 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

a lot of transgender people in india, if they are online, are on obscure facebook pages. this is because transgender people are generally poor and the only internet cheap phones in india can access is facebook because it is subsidized. i recommend checking there for indian stuff. but i do not like showing to everyone i am trans on facebook, this led me to look elsewhere.

it is unfortunately better to go to temples to bahuchara or similar deities for support in india.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 41 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I really hate how corporations have a giant monopoly on transgender spaces on the internet. Its incredibly frustrating and like you said, they make it easy to dox vulnerable trans people. We need to figure out how to jailbreak their phones and get hexbear on them lmao

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

Yeah similar in South Africa with LGBT stuff and certain social media sites being subsidised. It's all obscure Facebook groups or Twitter.

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 27 points 11 months ago

i have yet to find a single one.

[-] Orannis62@hexbear.net 15 points 11 months ago

Tumblr's not bad if you curate your feed decently. It can get a little transfem vs transmasc at times but it's largely where I hang out online besides here

[-] Cromalin@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

it's not hard to only follow a bunch of transgender communists on tumblr. now, the discourse can get bad sometimes but still pretty good if you can get past the site itself

[-] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 41 points 11 months ago

Come home to hexbear

[-] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 38 points 11 months ago

I’m so glad I got banned off of reddit logo before I started questioning

[-] Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

same tbh

[-] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 38 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

That's an awesome image and quote, thank you comrade trans-hammer-sickle rosa-salute

[-] dragongloss@hexbear.net 36 points 11 months ago

What do you expect from a website that installs new moderators when they don't do Reddit's bidding?

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 34 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

tbf i would expect hexbear to do that if the mods didnt uphold our regular purging of transphobes. its just reddit does that in reverse, they seem to have found some of the worst people to mod the trans subreddits. all the rules seem to be designed to fracture the trans community and prohibit discussion of topics relating to trans people in the global south simply because its 'controversial'

which is just... bizarre. any other subreddit would say the same about trans existence

[-] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

they seem to have found some of the worst people to mod the trans subreddits.

Do you think this is intentionally done?

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

No, im pretty sure it's just first come first serve. So it's a coin flip on whoever grabs a subreddit. There's also ego people that collect subreddits by weaseling their way into mod teams

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 30 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Uhhh what's against the rules about it?

Isn't Leslie responsible for a good portion of the language we use in the trans struggle today?

[-] Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net 28 points 11 months ago

Trying to inform a liberal about context and history is like explaining how to crochet to a rock

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 24 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

She's literally on the National LGBTQ Wall of Honor inside the Stonewall Inn ffs. Gender Studies wouldn't exist without her nor half the language we use for gender identity.

[-] Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net 27 points 11 months ago

the majority of non marxist trans people I know know nothing of the Stonewall riots, monument, or Inn

liberals are genuinely completely allergic to learning history

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 21 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I'm boggled by what these people think is actually involved in achieving anything. Erasing someone like Leslie would have a considerable negative effect on the output of future activists for trans people. Where do they think radicals come from? The democrat party? lol

[-] Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago

they don't know how it got there, they just know it is. The past is discarded in a fit of juvenile idiocy. Liberals do not think, they assume. When the fabric of these assumptions are challenged in any way, they react with pure hostility. This is unfortunately still true with some of our fellow transgenders. There will always be those too blind to see beyond the veil.

But seriously I guess i'm just elitist for knowing history or something but these people know fuck all about their past and history besides shit learned from social media chatting and high school. They then will defend such shoddy information with their lives because they are both naive and spoiled.

If GenZ is radical, then I am a fucking bucket. This generation is milquetoast social democratic losers that would have made Kautsky look like Lenin.

[-] Theblarglereflargle@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It’s how you see shit like 95% or liberals say that Roe v Wade would never get overturned and when it was their reaction was “let’s just purge the southern states”.

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

Wow. My friend went to some small private university in South Africa here and even the LGBT group/club there posted about stonewall, to the ire of all the straights.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

They said it was controversial, that's pretty much it and banned the person I invited here

And yes, it's literally insane

None of us is free until all of us is free because the monsters are bigger than any of us but not bigger than all of us.

[-] Timberknave@hexbear.net 26 points 11 months ago

I have indirect connections to an infamous POS liberal that is dominant in these sections of the Hitlerite Forums aka reddit-logo and it's hard to not descend into fits of rage bc you know how deeply rotten they are from all the people around them recounting their previous lives and you can't tell without getting their psycho fans on your and your friends' arse and being silenced/smeared by them

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 25 points 11 months ago

Reddit LGBT communities are trash and should be avoided like the plague. I'm glad your trans friend has you to talk to in real life.

[-] die_livster@lemmygrad.ml 24 points 11 months ago

when i first started questioning i was browsing trans sub reddits and i realised the (entirely cis) /r/transgenderuk mod team had banned any and all discussion of diy because of one negative article in the daily mail 😭😭😭😭😭

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

fuck them, siding with transphobes just means you have the blood of your sisters on your hands

also im pretty sure theyre not cis, their flairs mention srs

[-] die_livster@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 11 months ago

this was 5 or 6 years ago so i could easily be misremembering or they switched up mods

[-] Catradora_Stalinism@hexbear.net 18 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

liberals are traitors, they've thrown the entire community under the bus for their ideological nonsense. I don't understand how they can discard us for actually caring about our rights and places in society and then try to simp for fuckin democrats. Its not right at all. Although I do no think they deserve the wall treatment, sadly I think they'll learn on their own in time.
