      People here will be salty about me saying it but I think they’re the most trans positive instance. I say this as someone that looks at everything trans related from lemmy.ml on purpose so I can check in on everyone

      I feel like people have a lot of unexamined transphobia and thats why they’re angry about hexbear, hexbear rabidly defends their trans users. Then of course people just parrot hearsay when hexbear dogpiles someone for being transphobic. Hexbear also defederates from other instances a lot (either because Hexbear considers an instance transphobic or w.e. or because that instance hates dogpiles) so obviously Hexbear people can’t defend themselves from slander.

        Hexbear is very inclusive to trans people that align with its ideology, but it actively allows harassment and “dunking” of anyone, including trans people, who don’t align with its ideology. In my opinion, it’s hard to be the most inclusive trans instance when you are only inclusive of some trans people, and are willing to harass the rest.
