    lmao, just saw this. way to completely misrepresent the survey. it was stickied on the main page for 3 days, i didnt take any comments outside of that window, and over 1/3rd of all active users during that timespan participated. its a fairly accurate sampling within a 5-10%ish margin (eyeballing it), though IMO the trans or cis woman pop would likely be higher if the survey was anonymous.

    imagine hating hexbear so much you start to barge into trans spaces as a cis guy and tell those silly airheaded transgenders how to be a good transgender (shocking shocked-pikachu)

    I see that you still have not been able to recover from your brief exposure to world systems theory.

    Due to self-selection bias (this survey was conducted in their trans community, after all) you cannot make any meaningful inferences about the proportion of trans people on Hexbear as a whole. It may well be representative of the subscribers to their trans community though.

    Except that this was stickied on the main page for a good few days and has in maximum size font words to the effect CIS FILL OUT THIS SURVEY TOO and kristina acknowledged that the informality of the survey was also in part due to the difficulties in conducting a thorough survey in a secure manner

    keep talking out your arse, ruffled

        They not only see themselves as “allies”, but also as the most furthest left you can go, so our existence makes them uncomfortable. This ironically leads to them going mask off for a brief moment, by denying trans people’s identities based on what their politics are. “Allies”, indeed.

          When you’re “as far left as they come”, anything to the left of you must actually just be fascism. Communists are just red fascists, anarchists are fascists whenever they do anything cool or use violence. Only people exactly as liberal as I am get to be called left.

        polite fascists pretending to be progressives absolutely cannot stand encountering actual leftists. it makes it hard to pretend in front of themselves that they’re not fascists.

          The liberal brainpan cannot tolerate encountering a political position that does not admit compromise unless that position harms groups large enough to be considered undifferentiated "other"s. Many such cases: racism, trans rights, animal rights, children’s rights, refugees, and I’m only hitting the highlights. To be firmly and immovably on the liberatory side of any such issue is purity politics, but there’s always room to kill a few more "other"s so the frothing blood cult will consider not voting down a non-binding procedural motion too hard. On the other hand, we know every billionaire by name, so it would be uncivil to suggest barbara-pit

    Got removed,

    spoiler

    PSA: Any trans people looking for a non-toxic instance would do well to consider !trans@lemmy.blahaj.zone or another trans-friendly community. While Hexbear claims to be trans-friendly, they don’t cater to western progressives at all, so you better be willing to embrace their whole marxist/leninist tankie schtick. Also note that the charts in this post are essentially meaningless, as this wasn’t in any way a statistical random sample of users, and this was even acknowledged by the original poster on Hexbear. Due to self-selection bias (this survey was conducted in their trans community, after all) you cannot make any meaningful inferences about the proportion of trans people on Hexbear as a whole. It may well be representative of the subscribers to their trans community though. Edit: way to prove my point lol
