Forever ashamed that the thing that broke my egg is the pig shit piss owl website for a podcast that sucks balls

But yeah fr, this website and the people on it have been really helpful in helping me become trans, I'm grateful to you all <3 trans-heart

Oh so I'm just the piss shit owl now? Don't I have a name anymore?! bird-screm-2

imagine being 100 years old and explaining this to the young transgender people that come to you for wisdom

Hexbears only want one thing from me and it's disgusting owl-pissed

[–] [email protected] 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I feel it was said in an endearing way tho

Having Dirt_Owl reply angrily to your comment with one of their several custom emojis is one of the highest blessings that can be bestowed on a Hexbear

[–] [email protected] 52 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Especially since there aren't even that many spaces online for trans people at all. Thank you bear website.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, feels like a ton of "leftist" spaces are weird about trans people, if not just outright transphobic. Meanwhile a lot of the spaces that are not specifically for trans people but are queer friendly tend to be super lib. Hexbear is basically the only place on the internet where I don't feel like I'm surrounded by chauvinists of some kind or another. It's great here.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 8 months ago

We feel the same and it's rad. Hate lib queers, hate transphobe "lefties".

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

This is exactly what I was thinking about when I wrote the post!

I personally main cis, but trans is a pretty good build so I’m happy we have a space to discuss optimisations for that here 🤗

Uphold TC69 thought. leslie-shining

[–] [email protected] 40 points 8 months ago

It mains a lot to us too

[–] [email protected] 38 points 8 months ago

There's something about talking about being normal while making a main pun that makes me laugh. Like we're so online, how could we be normal?

But for sure, don't mention it.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 8 months ago

It's hard to do otherwise when you're all so damn awesome

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago

TC69 Thought continues to be the true path to Communism.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 8 months ago

When being normal is exceptional things are pretty fucking bad.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Likewise, thank you to our cool trans comrades for being here and sticking through some of the rough patches we had early on. This site would be so worse off without you.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 8 months ago

We love our trans comrades, don't we folks cat-trans

[–] [email protected] 30 points 8 months ago (2 children)

We need a secure way to poll people, last poll said like 33% of the site is trans

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

tbh true but we've also had an unusually high influx of trans people post federation that wouldnt be accounted for in the poll

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I'd be really curious to see the numbers now! I had an account here before I had one on Blahaj Lemmy, but I sure did spend more time there in general until they got gross about Hexbear and commies in general.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

rookie numbers, tbh!

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago

Me too 🥰🥰🥰

[–] [email protected] 23 points 8 months ago

It means a lot to me too, that's why I stick around! cat-trans

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

I love this place, it's kinda the only one I'm not afraid to be myself. The main reason is that its normal about trans and autism, etc

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

Hexbear really is incredibly welcoming. many other places feel like choosing between trans-friendly liberalism (what I experienced on Blahaj Lemmy, which is ultimately why I've been spending more time on Hexbear than there) or trans-dismissive leftism.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

like literally so much transphobia everywhere else, thank you hexbear

We love our trans comrades, don't we folks? hexbear-trans Care-Comrade

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Many people are saying it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago

We love our trans comrades! If you ever need a pick me up, vent, resources or a virtual hug meow-hug you're always welcome here.

I'm begging you, correct me if and when I comment something filled with brainworms brainworms

We love our trans, enby, aro/ace, 2 spirit, system & all other comrades I'm unfortunately leaving out.

Not having the correct stance on trans issues, this is the 14th type of liberalism.
