Diva (she/her)

Gotta second this, it’s a little hard to find from a separate instance- you need to go to /c/news@hexbear.net and pick it from the pinned threads

I wasn’t able to find posts drag is referring to, as near as I can tell both instances drag uses defed hexbear. Feel free to send me a link.

Sadly hexbear doesn’t have a ton of really active comms specific to women. Though at least they’re very aggressive removing misogyny across the instance. It’s been categorically less stressful posting on hexbear vs the rest of lemmy simply because I’m not then checking an inbox with replies/dms calling me ‘removed’ or ‘it’ or other charming insults.

Removing downvotes makes sense too, though I also like keeping them and using them to ban people abusing it. The voter is only visible to admins though.

when I say ‘fediverse’ people think I’m saying ‘fetiverse’ and sometimes they ask if it’s like open source fetlife. 🫠

I’ve been having a ton of fun, I like the cultural exchange a lot.

Personally I don’t care if China has data on me, it’s not like it’s useful for them and I’d rather them than meta or the US government or whoever.

There’s also way more queer/trans content than I was expecting.

yes

breaking it in gaza didn’t take long either

Paraphrasing, I said I don’t consider my rights inside an imperial war machine to be worth sacrificing others for, even if they’re on the other side of the planet. I didn’t mean to imply that the genocide was ending as a result of that.

I think it’s amusing if a little text heavy- drag doesn’t need my permission though!

panel 1: keep

panel 2: “tactical misgendering to dunk on the troll”

panel 3/4: "I get banned for Transphobia "

To be clear, I’m not advocating inaction or hopelessness or anything like that. I’m just expressing the sentiment it’s not realistic for a government designed to represent slaveowners to be reformed into working for everyone.

I’d encourage other trans people to join/start local groups and find whatever community you have where you live.

the ceasefire is holding as far as I’ve heard https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/live-blog/israel-hamas-live-updates-rcna188301

it’s at least one day without Gaza getting bombed so far I think.

obviously this doesn’t end here and the settlers are now ratcheting up things in West Bank instead.

It’s a rotten system, it’s going to produce rotten results

mental gymnastics

So you voted for Trump.

No I voted for Claudia de la Cruz

Just wanted to drop in an say that misgendering is never acceptable and I was (not particularly) shocked a .world mod would be watching matt walsh.

CW: transphobe

They’ve all been coming out of the woodwork lately.

I wanted to say that I appreciate drag being out there with neopronouns, we may disagree on some things, but I still stand by you on this. Fuck the haters, they’re showing their whole ass.

I also appreciate drag pushing the bounds on language, even if it sometimes became hard for me to read. I’m better off for having to think a little more about things anyways.

Part of the reason I have solidarity with drag is because I’ve also received a lot of shit over the years from people misgendering me because they don’t like my political opinions (real or imagined). It’s never acceptable, even if you think the person has some sort of hidden agenda- it just upholds transphobia as socially acceptable.

Trump won by more votes than all the third party votes combined. Third party votes had zero impact in my state too.

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

This time around it’s started with Palestinians, democrats acting helpless to stop the genocide (while actually arming it). It does not fill me with confidence that if LGBT people became a political liability that democrats wouldn’t unite with the republicans on our extermination too.

I voted for the non-genocidal candidate (PSL) tyvm
