I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of ‘hitlerites’
I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?
Nobody is saying that a particular actual person is lying about being trans. Its unusual because its literally 100x the incidence of identifying as trans as the population wherein the community is broadly left on many topics not focused entirely on trans issues.
Adding the fact that its an internet poll one can easily suspect that the poll is inaccurate as is incredibly commonly in any such polls.
Suspecting someone’s polling methodology is poor isn’t the same as questioning their identity. It isn’t transphobic
It’s a trans inclusive space on the internet that actually enforces rules against transphobia (unlike on .world). I don’t see why it’s odd for it to have a much higher representation of trans people when the rest of the internet is an absolute shithole of transphobia.
Yerbouti just likes to be bigoted when the target is ‘safe’, like a political enemy. It’s embarrassing and not ‘ally’ behavior by any stretch.
100x is ridiculously unrealistic it’s what you would expect for a community that was literally about being trans vs what one would expect from a community that accepts trans people.
Hexbear must be about being trans then, there’s archives going back 4+ years of them doing stuff like having people read lit like you’ll find in any IRL trans space.
Meanwhile on places that just ‘accepts’ trans people it’s bannable for calling out transpobia
