also how many of our mods are trans? its definitely a lot of them. ive seen some misinformation on /r/traa that this place is transphobic, which is insane to me, ive been here since the beginning and im trans myself and i consider this to be one of the most trans positive places on the internet. no other social media site ive seen has built in pronoun features, and i have seen the mods ban people for using wrong pronouns and even the smallest implications of transphobia. honestly, its more trans positive than some explicitly transgender subreddits due to how active the mods are and how quick they are to delete posts and ban transphobes
I remember when the site started there was a while where the mods were purging transphobes left and right. Shows what good moderation does :trans-heart:
average hexbear mod upon seeing a transphobe :marx-guns-blazing:
You keep firing. I'll reload the spare magazines.
I remember being nervous and thinking "aaaaaah are they going to ban me next for transphobia"
but indeed I just wasn't transphobic
Turns out the criteria here isn't that crazy and people still can't handle it
