Hexbear: Not pro-LGBTQ+, the Israel of Lemmy instances

On the bright side, it can create a sort of backwards marketing push where people who are morbidly curious come here and then don't see any of that and are opened up to hearing our side of the story

It originally signed up with the above username and was mad about having to change names.

This was/is the most predictable thing ever. They did not make a single good faith argument.

c/traaa alone is comparable to the entire site and they think they can talk about "authenticity."

It hid a lot behind the fact that most Hexbears aren’t familiar with xenogenders

Your charity speaks to your goodness Kristina.

That poster used it/its pronouns when it was here. In this case, its username wasn’t the problem. It seemed to believe that referring to people with they/them pronouns against their wishes was fine and it didn’t like that people were calling it out for that.

if you want personal power there's so many easier ways to reach it than communism. communism is the hard mode of getting anywhere near power

It got booted from blahaj first, used that as pretext to get us to shit on that instance, caused trouble here and got booted, used that as pretext to cause trouble on a new instance, rinse and repeat

Imma take a look

Not surprising. Being trans feels a lot like being straight.

I hope they mean this in like a very very good way

Grandma doesn’t have a gender and doesn’t realise why people who have genders think they’re important. She’d be equally happy identifying as a man and she doesn’t realise that’s unusual.

okay please explain to me what this means I legit am just ????ing at this right now

Hexbear is transphobic. They harassed me the whole time I was there

I bet my life savings they were saying dumb libshit or discriminatory bullshit and high tailed it because they got rightly dunked for it

oh god they mainly post on beehaw, Lemmygrad basically created that community after a bunch of lemmy gusanos raged that their terminal liberalism got absolutely torn to shreds by the effortposting gods.

Okay they seem to be completely genuine too, because they have good takes mixed in with it. Critical support to them dragging CookieJarObserver (some of you remember this "I AM THE OBSERVER" fucking weirdo) through shit on Israel.

Now that i've looked through, you could be right, because they have hexbear takes everywhere besides when they're hating on hexbear, okay and some libshit about finding 'unbiased leftist sources'

my real contention is finding out their posting on hexbear, what were they arguing about. Give it to us you nerd, I dare you!

I'm going to be on the side of 'they're just really libshit' because its just too authentic

Getting to triple-dip into xiyuan, putinrubles, and sorosbucks was too tempting. Hexbear only accepts trans communists, so that’s what I became. While taking medical transition steps isn’t necessary to be trans, it helped with getting into character. Some people claim it’s “gender euphoria” but I attribute it to the satisfaction of committing to the bit to mislead the libs. I got along well with another pretend trans poster, and the DMs turned into a full-blow performative t4t relationship. Eventually we moved in together to stretch the botmoney further. We started a family to pass on the communist bit to a new generation. We never stopped posting. 4 kids and 12 grandchildren later, A wrecker I could not defeat came for me. Cancer. In hospice, surrounded by my loved ones, chosen family, and circle of friends, they asked me what final wisdom I wanted to pass on before handing me the morphine button.

“Haha, you all fell for it you rubes! I was faking it this whole time. I wasn’t actually fighting for the liberation of marginalised people and the working class. I hate you all!”

I mash the button while holding my partner’s hand, who congratulates me on the historic bit but calls me a lib for ruining kayfabe. I die in shame.

Oh hey I was right

I hazily remember there being an initial ban that was lifted, but the final ban was because it was being reactionary

i mean yeah i generally view it as ND, in particular the use of pathological personality diagnoses by the carceral state to justify longer sentencing for minorities have me view it as politically aligned with other ND movements where diagnosis is used to revoke autonomy. it's better to focus on harm actually done rather than this moralizing belief in some inherent evilness in someone's soul or something. a lot of autistic liberation has an adverserial relationship with diagnosis in general, I would generally advise people to be skeptical of a diagnosis created on the assumption there exists such a thing as genetic basis for a born criminal. in particular the moralization of not having empathy fucks over a lot of autistic people and is a common complaint in autistic circles, that hyperempathetic autistics throw other autistics under the bus by presenting themselves as morally superior. not having the physiological empathy response does not inherently make you a murderer, it means it takes more effort to understand someone else on an intellectual level.

not that I would then argue you're ableist, because I think there is an issue where a lot of leftist spaces moralize disagreement and massively overescalate shit.

After multiple huge angry navel gazing derails.

Yes, but you're supposed to be sending them ironically

hey at least this instance is upgrading from the usual rhetoric of denying that any of us are LGBT

In reality their brain is just broken and they refuse to accept that LGBT people could be to the left of them

They've been taught that communism is inherently homophonic and "authoritarian", so they think lgbt people cannot possibly be communists.
