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

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.

[–] JohannaChittarra@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

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.

[–] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

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.

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.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

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 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 1 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

[–] MuuuaadDib@lemm.ee 0 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Interesting, so has Israeli forces taken over Reddit? Would make for an interesting article for an investigative journalist to look into.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The problem generally speaking is that liberals run a lot of reddit and there's a certain type of liberal in mod teams that always wants the space to rigidly adhere to the liberal party line. That line at the moment is pro-zionism. So the outcome is this.

There is definitely some discussion in backrooms about whether it's worthwhile for radicals to split from liberals when they do this. It's an attitude of "the wrong kind of trans". Support and protection in a community shouldn't require you adhere to a certain political position on non-trans issues. Support and protection should be unconditional.

the people who moderate content at the highest levels in companies such as reddit, tiktok, facebook, etc all have western intelligence backgrounds. it was very noticeable on tiktok when they first started bringing them on board the quality of content nosedived, i stopped using so i don't know if it ever got better

[–] die_livster@lemmygrad.ml 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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 1 points 11 months ago

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

[–] dragongloss@hexbear.net 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 1 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
