I have literally been told itt that being a transphobe is ok as long as you are anti-genocide (specifically, anti-genocide but still pro zionism like Finkelstein).
Cool, I'm not really responsible for what other people say. That doesn't mean anti-genocide people are transphobes.
Like, what is the point of responding if you're going to ignore the entire comment you're replying to?
You could stop responding. Would be better at this point, honestly. You're already making up strawmen like "you claim that anti-genocide people are transphobes" when nobody said anything like that anywhere. I brought up the example to prove that yes, we do have transmisogynists like @Biddles@hexbear.net on here and they go mask off every time you poke them a little.
My point isn't to defend Natalie's takes on Gaza, not only because they are indefensible but because her position on the genocide isn't even the topic of this thread, it wasn't the topic of the last contrapoints hate thread three days ago either, it is barely ever brought up in spite of the fact that we collectively tear into her twice a week. My point is that the excessive focus on her is a symptom of hexbears' transmisogyny problem that nobody except the trans women on this site is ever willing to adress. Stop making up excuses for what is obviously transmisogyny, stop telling trans women that we cannot tell it's transmisogyny.
You even go out of your way and say "this is the same as people making up lies about Hasan's dog." You openly admit that this has reached the point of character assassination where it doesn't even matter anymore if an accusation is completely fabricated. and where the original problem that made somebody an acceptable target is now only trotted out as a flimsy after-the-fact justification. How am i supposed to treat somebody who thinks that kind of behavior is not only normal, but perfectly acceptable?
Hexbear has a serious casual transphobia problem. This isn’t even the only time it’s happened in the past couple of months, there was all the denial of Lilly Bushnell’s gender as well. Claiming that someone’s transphobia is acceptable just because they oppose genocide is honestly deplorable.
I really wish the admins would address it as it is one of the main things holding Hexbear back.
Yeah, i've been reminded of that as well. And honestly, it's the same as with hexbear's misogyny problem, hexbear's ableism problem or hexbear being really weird about (especially queer) sexuality and relationships, probably also applies to racism although i can't personally attest to that - when somebody from another instance does it, it's an instant ban, when an old account from hexbear does it, the post may get removed and maybe there's a temp ban when it's really blatant as in this case with the "having good takes on Gaza gives you a transphobia license" shit, but that's it, and there's never any reflection. Every time, a ton of affected comrades complain that this is, indeed, a problem while a ton of not affected comrades deny and downplay everything, make up excuses and refuse to learn and do better.
