Hello new Bluesky posters!
Hello new Bluesky posters!
I thought we should do a welcome post for our new trans posters! We're all excited to have you all here 
Let me direct you first to the trans mega, it's a very cozy place for trans people to post and you don't necessarily have to post about being trans there (though of course there is lot of gender happening in there at all times!) 
For an even more relaxed and chat-based setting, there's Tracha, aka our Matrix-based chat. Read the rentry for more information!
Finally, if you use pronouns that are not yet available to be selected, please DM the site admins and they are very happy to help! My own pronouns (ze/zir) weren't on the site till I asked for them.
We hope you all have fun and enjoy the community here! 
aaaaaaaaaaaa hi, can't wait to figure all this out! heard a lot of good things! <3
You’re on the most toxic instance of Lemmy. Run away.
http://lemmy.blahaj.zone/ is the trans instance.
oh hey it’s the exact kind of horrible behavior i mentioned on bluesky wow
Rushing into this thread to call us the wrong, bad queers so fast you left friction burns on the floor.
worst shill award 🎖️
Didn't post anywhere trans before this comment and mostly posts on Lemmy world. Bye loser stop telling trans people what to do
Thanks! This seems like a fun and cool place.
Seems lighthearted so far. I'm still trying to figure out all the buttons haha
Also if it’s alright I’m real quickly gonna plug https://hexbear.net/c/howdy here which is a comm for introducing yourself (but only if you’re comfortable doing so of course).
Ty for the plug! Honestly I've never made an intro post myself...
Well, you’re always welcome to of course if you ever feel up to it. Also ty for making this post btw.
Thank you! It seems a cool and fun place to be!

Welcome everyone! I wanted to add that there's a thread for general help, PSAs, resources, and surveys here: https://hexbear.net/post/3016455.
Is that where all the new folks are coming from? Was there a recruitment drive or something?
Bluesky is having some issues with a transphobe, so a relatively popular left-wing account posted about a partial move to Hexbear. That's my understanding, at least.
Hello! This whole site is gonna take a lot of getting used to.
(apologies in advance for vent/language) I am almost 50. Transitioning is a relatively recent thing. I spent years on Twitter. Last month I left for what I thought would be bluer, safer skies. Then the pedo apologist came and was allowed to stay, even after explicitly stating he was intent on making life hell for us. I'm tired. I'm just fucking tired. And then someone told me about this place. After just over a day, I'm loving it. But, being frank, I'm still a touch wary . But the energy is.....hopeful? Make sense?
I'm old as fuck and transitioned a long time ago when I was 18 cause I was an IRC head back in the day. People transitioned all the time, and we even had our own interesting culture back then! People would mail CDs/tapes filled with resources to people who asked for it. Now its basically the same but because the internet is much more user friendly now and information is more dense we can reach way more people that have been needing help all this time
I'm in the process of trying to familiarize myself with this place. I attempted to join the group chat, but can't seem to get it to work. I get an error message.
What've I missed? Who're all these new people?
Was anyone able to join Tracha recently? I tried a couple of times, but it just says that I'm not invited
Hi! What’s your matrix just curious? I can invite you right now until we get the room stuff figured out. You can DM it to me if you’d like.
We’re getting the room settings figured out, so apologies for the issues, but we should be able to invite anyone there from matrix, just shoot a message to @poohbsie:matrix.org there if you want to join but can’t.
hello! the chat sounds interesting i will look into that tomorrow.
right now im just trying to get used to this site because its so different to anything else ive used before, haha. im glad to be here, so thanks to Sage for letting everybody know about it, looking forward to having a place online where i dont have to see constant transphobia and abuse of minorities every day. :(
Hiya! Excited to be here. Seems really nice so far
Hi I’m trans been on hrt for nearly 6 months yay I’ve just came from Bluesky and I’m loving it xx
I tried to join the tracha chat but I got the not invited error :/
I’d strongly advise you all to look at the rest of Lemmy’s opinion on HexBear.
Where you are now is mainly considered the most toxic tankie side of the Fediverse and the post above does not represent the instance you are on.
http://lemmy.blahaj.zone/ is probably the best trans instance on Lemmy. Check it out instead.
