People don't stop being trans because you disagree with them politically. I despise Jenner and other high profile trans grifters but I'm not shitty enough to deny their identities.

Do better. As a user of both sites this shit is genuinely upsetting. Despite how you may feel about hexbear, how can you claim that they bait people into revealing their internalized transphobia and then turn around and make shitty claims like this? I don't give a shit if you call me a tankie or red fash or whatever, but I'm trans whether you like me or not.

If that's your takeaway, then you have zero clue what radicalisation looks like. The radical left isn't 'radically against' transphobia, etc. It is just a different kind of hatred. See FDS for an example.

    Nah, the radical left is definitely radically against transphobia. The "both sides" narrative is just dismissal of left wing values, generally.

    Stop moving the goalposts. The conversation topic is about the extreme ends, I haven't said shit about the general left.

    Actually it's pretty clear you aren't arguing in good faith so I'm just gonna stop here.
