I do believe I said "immediately attacking and dogpiling trans women who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump", not using transphobic slurs or whatever.

Nice astroturfing, though. I see you out here.

I drive a cab and talk politics all day in one of the most leftist regions in the US. I've never so much as heard the name in person. Including from other socialists and active agitators for workers rights.

Good thing hexchan's take is totally irrelevant!

Queer rolls off the tongue a lot better than LGBT. Though I have heard it pronounced like 'el gibbity' and I fully approve.

Can I have it? I'd never buy one but I use Spotify constantly in my cab. It'd be nice to have it not attached to my phone.

I love this take. It reminds me of like that picture of a guy in a hoodie and sunglasses from the early 20th century, or when an older show or movie has a line that seems to refer to the name of something that hadn't been invented at the time, but it's actually referring to something else.

Or like when they fix time travel paradox in a story by faking an 'inescapable' event.

It's perfect.

Nope. Blocked the community and all the users who replied. Go dig around in their trashcan of an instance if you like. Or just tell them you're trans and want to make sure Trump doesn't get into office so you don't have to flee the country and watch them come out of the woodwork.

Being swayed by reality would require having a drop of moral integrity. No prosecutor has that.

Whoever made this small army of bots spam posting new sports communities on an empty instance, can you stop?

We get it. You're desperate for attention to your server. All this gets you though is blocked and defederated.

Hexchan ain't really doing any better. Sure are patting themselves on the back about what great allies they are though! I know that's what I like in an ally, not actual help with the whole rights thing, but empty posturing and condescension!

Keep it up!

I feel like those posters aren't really socialists either. There's a point which just claiming a worldview isn't enough to justify the accuracy of that label while holding all the opposing positions to its values.

When I was a kid one of my cats adopted a family down the road. He'd come home most nights, but would stay sometimes and would regularly eat at both houses.

That sounds like a happy cat who gets to have a healthy relationship with being inside or outside.

Imma make it stick.

I've been having a number of conversations on Hexchan recently trying to make sense of their politics. The most common instance of their hateful hypocrisy I've encountered is this constant assurance that they support trans people while immediately attacking and dog piling and trans people who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump.

I live in Massachusetts. We are a very blue state and we're one of the best places in the world to transition. We have informed consent, legal protection of our basic rights, and mandatory insurance coverage of trans health care, which state insurance also covers. Whatever you think of the DNC, the Democrats in Massachusetts are absolutely allies of trans people who've worked to actively protect our rights.

Still, I'm well aware of the danger that federal law could potentially pose. I know there may be a time when I have to flee the country if things get bad enough, and that's a lot more likely under Trump.

But they don't actually care about my rights, happiness, or safety, or those of any other trans people. They don't care what happens to us, they just want to use us as a bludgeon to dunk on people.

The hexchanners who aren't actively Russian trolls seem to be little more than useful idiots for conservatives, minimizing the damage they do to vulnerable populations and engaging in high school level pettiness and hate.

So what, you just keep them locked up and anxious forever? Is that punishment for the birds?

Like, what's your angle?

My right to exist. I'm a trans woman who is very aware that I may need to flee the country in the next few years depending on where things go. I'm extremely aware of the attacks on my life and my access to the medication I need. This shit is not abstract for me.

There's a very big difference between having lipservice support from the federal government while living in a state that's literally one of the best places on Earth to transition, and hoping said state will protect me from a federal government that's actively hostile.

Are federal Democrats actively allies to trans people? Eh.

Are Massachusetts Democrats? You bet your ass they are. We've got more rights than trans people in most of the EU. We have informed consent, mandatory insurance coverage for trans health care, actual legal protection from discrimination.

You act like there's no difference, but I'm literally better protected here than I would be anywhere outside of like maybe like the Netherlands.

I'm not in this to act like a high school child, I'm in it because people want to fucking wipe me and everyone like me out.

I ain't from hexchan. Just somebody who thinks animals should be treated decently and not just collected.

I mean, you don't actually have to take other species prisoner at all.
