Dug up their survey for it out of curiosity, you can find their original post here https://hexbear.net/post/2226865

Holy shit we queer AF
Trans supremacy 😔✊️
Hexbear is one of those instances that has a bad reputation. One of which is for being anti trans and yet the data says something different, unless they all hate themselves. In my experience of their users though, they're a decent bunch, polite and insightful. Though admittedly, I'm not in many of the main communities on Lemmy, so tend to miss most things.
Hexbear has a bad reputation for many reasons, but I've never heard anyone claim that they're anti trans. They are known for being incredibly protective of their trans members.
Thanks for chiming in
Hexbear’s biggest detractors often call them anti-queer. Mostly because of an idea that western imperialists are at least nice to queer people and that anti-imperialist governments, including historically communist ones, have been staunchly anti-queer across the board. Of course, the truth is more complicated on both sides. Either way, western influence on the world has been a disaster for queer people everywhere.
I've seen tons of tankies say transphobic stuff, so it's definitely an element over there. Maybe less than other tankies, but only in the way some conservatives can keep their transphobia quiet enough to watch Blair White or have her as a guest on a podcast or whatever. They don't hate trans people there less, they're just deceptive enough to fool people into thinking their dream ML utopia wouldn't put queer people to death like all the others they love so much. People who aren't transphobes don't worship Stalin
I feel like most of the hexbear users I've run into live up to their negative reputation. Maybe the communities I see just bring out the worst users from that server for some reason.
I think it's about the communities I interact with them in. I'm really not a fan of the mainstream communities and so inadvertently but luckily, avoid trolls for the most part.
Polite unless you're Ukrainian, or any ideology other than ML, or really any reason they decide you're a degenerate or bourgeoisie or whatever. They constantly brigade what few other instances they're not banned from (and ones they are banned from with alts). Stop defending tankies, there's a very good reason we call them red fascists
Another lie, where have they brigaded? Show proof of your claims!
Who is "we" fuckboy
Defending? I spoke of my experience in the context of the data and gave a disclaimer as to why it's a small sample. If you have an issue with them, take it up with them.
Hexbear, the place that's supposedly full of trans people and allies, yet they all simp for transphobic regimes who'd have them gulag'd or worse. Yall are gross as shit, we don't liberate ourselves by acting like totalitarian regimes who murder queer people are the best. Yall should be fucking ashamed, you're no better than Caitlin Jenner voting for trump
you're on a clown instance with hits like "I dont see trans women as women" and regularly gets spammed with transphobic diatribes, why not move to a better instance rather than associate with filth?
say whatever you want about tankies (re: the dreaded wokes), theyve carved out a safe spot for trans people and the numbers show it
Hexbear users don't think any differently, in fact they're worse than average, they just don't say that part out loud. You genuinely think these fuckers that fetishize dictators who imprisoned queer people give half a shit about queer rights? You think people that jack off to places like Russia and China that punish homosexuality feel anything but disgust towards us? That's naive as shit and I hope you get your head out of your your ass some day
Also I'd rather see one dumb fucker that hates trans women than a hundred bloodthirsty cunts who want Ukraine to be conquered by Russia. Imo any place that trivializes conquest and genocide is a shithole, and hexbear is even worse on that front than the most liberal "vote blue no matter who" cesspits
Inb4 "Russia actually has a right to that land and also nato was baiting them and also Ukraine is full of nazis and also stealing children isn't genocide, but also they deserve it"
If you’re cishet in the fediverse, keep that shit to yourself. Nobody wants to hear about your gender reveal party.
Bite my shiny metal ass!
