I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of ‘hitlerites’
I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?
Hexbear has published numbers, around half the users identify as trans. Are you saying users pretend that number is higher, or are you saying that the users reporting to be trans are pretending? Neither is accurate, but the latter is incredibly transphobic.
Additionally, no one thinks Putin is a good guy.
I’m saying I don’t believe anything that comes from Hexbear, and I definitely do not believe half of their users are trans. I already had that discussion so I have 0 interest in discussing with you people. People don’t magicaly become transphobe just because you said so, stop appropriating other people’s reality. And yes, most of their users are tankies pro-putin and pro Chinese government.
The claim that they’re pro-Putin relies on no one actually going there to check, because they very much aren’t.
Also yeah, denying people’s identity just because you disagree with their politics is pretty transphobia
Discrediting the gender identity of transgender people because they don’t agree with you politically is transphobia.
Nobody is saying that a particular actual person is lying about being trans. Its unusual because its literally 100x the incidence of identifying as trans as the population wherein the community is broadly left on many topics not focused entirely on trans issues.
Adding the fact that its an internet poll one can easily suspect that the poll is inaccurate as is incredibly commonly in any such polls.
Suspecting someone’s polling methodology is poor isn’t the same as questioning their identity. It isn’t transphobic
It’s not what I’m doing. I’m saying I give this survey as much credibility as any internet survey: none.
It’s exactly what you’re doing. Spend any time there at all and the results are entirely unsurprising, the fact that you confidently discredit and doubt trans users despite doing no research into the subject is transphobic.
