Very cool Lemmy.blahaj.zone, transphobia is fine when we're doing it to the commies

Once you learn the emojis you unlock your true posting potential

I still have no clue how to use the emoji pictures

There's a menu button here (at least on desktop) that shows the whole list, grouped by category:

Otherwise, just type a colon and start typing a word after it (with no spaces) to bring up the inline emoji picker, which will try to search on emoji name and/or keyword, e.g., is :blahaj: but typing :trans will also show it in the list, because it has been tagged with "trans" as a keyword.

If you know the name of it you can do :emoji-name: and if you want to see the name of an emoji someone else used you can press the "View Source" button on their comment (looks like a piece of paper) to see it's text code or hover your mouse over it.

For example is : logo : (without the spaces)

Alternatively, as you are typing up a comment there is a little smiley face button above the text field you can press for a little emoji selecter ui.

but dont you realize were actually tankies and very toxic and mean???

hyuck hyuck

Same for me just last september

First you type a : then a menu pops up. That's only if your on the web (best experience). I usually use Voyager and it has no Emoji menu or support in the comment/post editor (bad experience).

You will not find a community there.

:agony-shivering: I hate this shit so much. Hexbear is the best community I have ever been a part of.

I know that I helped get us de-fedded from pawb by making a version of the Grover (of Groverhaus game) Iraq war copypasta in reference to Blahaj Zone. I'm sure there were other incidents, but I remember that my post was cited specifically.

zionism baked into every fiber of their being

also the survey clearly shows we are using the cis people here as human cannon fodder in the posting wars

Indistinguishable from IDF genocider rhetoric.

People like this would murder us all given the opportunity, cis or trans, doesn't matter.

Human shields? We're literally the majority of the site lol

Pawb.social literally doesn't lmao they defederated before we even were federated lmao

hamasbear :(

Wait hexbear has its own matrix room?

When I'm in a firefight and yoink a catboy out of my bag of holding.

you are our strongest poster fr

Going out amongst the libs like the Narodniks Going to the People

Oh they're not in the post, Kristina is a top mod here, and TC69 was a previous admin

both had a very large role in making hexbear a fortress for trans users

Chapotraphouse slander is how i found the sub

it’s always nice to get a reminder of why i try to avoid posting there or even just look at it in general.

When I accidentally wonder into a trans thread on someplace like or beehaw, I'm always like "wtf is with these comments?" and then check the instance...

Minor technical point: There are many distinct trans experiences

myself, as a cishet dude, to be telling trans people in the US that the negative outcome here was coming either way?

Are you being asked? Because I generally would not assume that trans people would either ask you, as a cishet, or hold unsolicited advice from you on this topic in high regard. I'd suggest just focusing on other issues.

First of all, it's good to show empathy. A Trump presidency is scary for every trans person that isn't Caitlyn Jenner levels of privileged. That doesn't change the fact that the Biden admininistration did literally nothing for trans people, or that Kamala refused to even performatively pay lip service to our struggles, or that Democrat support for our rights happens exclusively on the state level and isn't reliable even there. It's a party scared of standing up for us and ready to throw us under the bus at a moment's notice. But having the people who conducted the early stages of trans genocide on the state level now in charge federally does make a difference, even when it's the difference between standing by idly while we are hunted or actively endorsing that hunt. It's even felt here in Europe. I have a friend with family in America who is scared her loved ones might get deported, i have another friend who planned to get a type of bottom surgery only available in the US and who just realized this may no longer be an option for her. These news hit very close to home and that should be recognized.

However, it's also important for trans people to understand that voting was never going to save us. We need to fight on other fronts, we need to organize, form mutual aid networks, build coalitions with other groups that are under increased threat now, go out and protest, agitate etc. etc. We particularly need help from cis allys. Listen to what worries us. Maybe trans people around you need help getting out of state, or know people who plan to move to your state and need practical support with that, from having a place to crash to finding a new home to just having somebody there to unload furniture. Many people are struggling to pay for gender affirming care, or may have to travel out of state to even access it. Even if you do not know trans people irl, there will be situations where you encounter transphobia. As a cishet dude, you can push back against that without being worn out by it the same way we are. Use that. I've heard way too many stories about friends getting insulted or assaulted and nobody was there to step in. Be that guy when you see something. Speak up when you hear something. These are times of struggle and we need every man, woman and nonbinary person who's willing to fight on our side.
