If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

Nutomic is still a site admin, still banned ~~from this comm~~ on hexbear entirely, never mind. haven't heard anything new myself.
looking more and more like I'll be making an alt on another instance then... :p
Yeah, just a frustrating situation, running into communists who view trans people as bourgeois decadence is usually something I have to go home for.
The process of 'westernization' was what brought things like homophobia and transphobia to places under colonial occupation. The civil criminalization of gay people in England started as early as things like the buggery act of 1533, buggery comes from the french term bougre -
"sodomite," 1550s, earlier "heretic" (mid-14c.), from Medieval Latin Bulgarus "a Bulgarian" (see Bulgaria), so called from bigoted notions of the sex lives of Eastern Orthodox Christians or of the sect of heretics that was prominent there 11c. Compare Old French bougre "Bulgarian," also "heretic; sodomite."The western imported 'values' were themselves rooted in xenophobia and bigotry against eastern orthodox heretics. (Bogomils)
Feel free, migration takes 2 clics
I was going to request hexbear admins to federate with sopuli.xyz, but it looks like sopuli.xyz blocks hexbear
A lot of instances have a thing against hexbear, which imo is just because cis white boys love to keep making shit up about trans people / cry when the trans people don't like transphobia and are mean to transphobes. Half of hexbear is trans.
Blahaj defederated hexbear, and they aren't really cis white boys

Ada also refused to answer a simple direct question that I posed "Will you ban trans fascists/racists" and preferred to talk around it
As such blahaj.zone is not an inclusive space and is fundamentally only for white people of a liberal bent, the only place I can recommend as accepting and inclusive and has a large trans community is hexbear.
Also, to be frank, most of their community is /c/196. Trans people feel like a minority there. Also, Hexbear defederated blahaj, not the other way around. They defederated because chasers from blahaj were harassing their trans users + 196 was harassing trans users over their socialist politics.
Interesting, thanks for sharing
All the whispering about brigading has seriously been about the dunk tank? They don't allow linking to federated instances and low traffic posts (and federated instances) are not allowed.
Calling them fascists is a joke though, like as an anarchist I've been subbed to most of their comms for close to a year now (other than dunk_tank which blocks .ml). I have not come across anyone even slightly fascist or supremacist- they even crack down on posting Yakub memes.
I've run into way sketchier/transphobic people on .world - post a contrary political opinion there and you get people going through your posts to find reasons to harrass you.
Wasn't it the other way around ? I remember hexbear defedding blahaj because some mod was defending chaser stuff and Ada defended them or something like that.
Yes lol, second line from the blahaj link:
From what I saw it was because of the behavior of the mods there, among other things (links in the link): https://hexbear.net/post/369410
I had a person there say I deserved to die, like a kulak, and then I got banned for not arguing in good faith. So. There are other reasons.
You defended biden's genocide so... not exactly a civil thing you did there. You led with being evil.
