Look, i agree with that criticism, i've just been over all of these problems with little miss truscum in the last contrapoints hate thread we had two days ago, but i don't think that's why you people are so obsessed with her. Hexbear has, to give one example, zero qualms constantly riding the dick of openly transphobic anti-woke crank Norman Finkelstein, so if you people can tolerate that anti-BDS, anti-black, misogynist piece of shit but can't tolerate a piece of shit who is transfeminized, i know what's the actual problem.
I recognize your position but I really think people here are fixated on Natalie because she is a propagandist for the bourgeoisie, not because she is a transwoman. I mean the megathread at this very moment is celebrating a transwoman who is on the "right side of history".
Hexbear is the best place on lemmyverse for trans people because that's an incredibly low bar to clear, as it is in so many other places online and irl. Even before the Contrapoints posting this week there was already a thread on that mega in response to another incident lamenting the fact that we can't even trust our cis hexbear comrades to not post transphobia. But at least in that case, he learned and apologized instead of posting excuses through it all.
Also the reason you're getting clowned on for "transwoman" is that the spelling is used to distance us from womanhood and put us into a third gender category. Please use trans woman going forward.
I didnt know there was a delineation between the two terms, so this thread has been informative for me. thank yall for teaching me something
