    I really underestimated how transfemmes are treated on the broader internet. I came to understand myself here, and kinda assumed that this place is representative.

    With it’s acceptance and large presence of trans feminine people, and lack of inane bullshit, but actually this seems to be the exception (apart from like small discord servers).

    This is a really good place and much more exceptional in it’s protection of trans people than I thought.

    I think it’s very funny that as a small child I was like the textbook example of autism and yet nobody suspected I was autistic, probably because I was not a boy lol. Just goes to show how gender interacts with the medical field I guess.

    Manly YouTuber ♂️: Hey guys, in this video I’m gonna show you how to get the CLOSEST shave that’s gonna leave you BABY smooth. For the best results, we’re gonna use a straight razor. That’s right, there’s no substitute for BLADE on SKIN. We’re gonna shave our face the same way we CUT our STEAKS, with a big KNIFE. So, if you’re ready to enter the world of MANLY shaving, drop that cartridge razor and keep watching.

    Sometimes I go on trans spaces on tumblr, and there is so much bullshit and wreckers and stuff there. I didn’t know how good we have it here.

    The “discourse” currently is about how egg jokes are harmful to gnc men, and don’t respect their identities.

    blahaj instance

    I made a post on the trans blahaj comm about how the mega here got 3k comments and it was very highly upvoted, of course it attracted a ton of transphobic trolls (who likely aren’t trans, shocker) that don’t get removed and Ada is talking about how its cool and good to include fascist and exclusionary trans people in the comments because Hexbear is mean to them, oh and also being a socialist trans person is fringe, apparently. New to me!

    Honestly 50/50 on just using the account I made here way back but haven’t really used. I like checking in on everyone but it seems that all the other LGBT spots on fedi are ghost towns or filled with clowns. Occasionally theres like, one small thread on blahaj thats good.
