It's a site by and for Communists and a safe space for queer users, it isn't that complicated. I'd also recommend not calling it an insane asylum, as @OpheliaAzure@lemmy.blahaj.zone said it has one of the biggest trans userbases on Lemmy and that's frequently used as a transphobic insult, not to mention the ableism.
I've been forced to stay at an insane asylum, I was only going based off my prior experiences is all, had no idea about the trans thing.
Fair enough, but I think you should just take care with that. Do a bit more research before jumping to insults that can be damaging to people's gender identity.
In the insane asylum we didn't care about genders, we were all shacked up together regardless of identity or sex at birth, no doors were allowed on rooms or showers or anything, so I'm not sure where I'd be insulting genders with that statement.
Referring to trans people as "insane" for being trans is transphobic, and a bit ableist. I'm not talking about your personal experience, but your presumably unintentional transphobia.
I was referring to the posts, if you read my original comment I said nothing about trans or gender identity whatsoever. Hexbear when I signed up did not advertise itself as "trans only" or "trans centric" or anything gender related, so I was not aware. Please help me understand where you are getting those ideas. If anything it seems like if I consider a community similar to my behavioral health clinic experiences to be "transphobia" then you are insulting them as well. Again, we never discussed gender identity in the clinics.
Hexbear isn't "trans only," however according to surveys is about 50% trans/nonbinary, and is regularly pitched as one of the 2 largest trans positive instances, alongside Blahaj.zone.
