Being non-stereotypical has haunted me a lot more, but we all vibe a bit differently!

6-string and bass don't have to be mutually exclusive, and in my case, they weren't.

Somehow, they also end up being shocking degrees of discriminatory within the LGBTQ+ community. Transphobia, enbyphobia, and bi/panphobia are shockingly common in mainstream LGBTQ+ spaces, meaning I'm not talking about those obscure "LGBDroptheT" type forums with a very small base of users.

There will be soy burgers at The Cookout.

And who says white people don't have culture?

What brought me here: looking for a leftist, queer-friendly alternative to Reddit.

I first left Reddit due to the API controversy, came back a bit later after I first left, and while using it, I just started feeling even more sour about the other aspects of the site as well. Even Reddit spaces that were supposed to be "good" had a lot of bad in them. For instance, mainstream trans subreddits had heavily-upvoted enbyphobia and transmedicalism slide by on multiple occasions.

I then began seeking out Reddit alternatives, and Lemmy was at the forefront of them. In trying to figure out what instance I wanted to belong to, I used Blåhaj Zone at first, but I wasn't digging the vibe tbh. I then looked back at join-lemmy.org and sorted by LGBTQ+ instances once again, and Hexbear caught my attention because of its explicit admission of being a leftist space.

What makes me stay:

• Leftist/Queer/ND/etc. solidarity: I'm far more understood here than other spaces
• Organizing and theory resources: Hexbear has been useful for providing resources about organizing, good theory to read, and other forms of media like videos and leftist music.
• Making the place less mayo: I want to be a prominent empoc user on Hexbear so that I can sniff out colonial bullshit that the vast sea of cracKKKers on this site might miss. Also, I don't want any other empoc who come along, are already here, or have been here way before me to feel like they're alone in not being a honKKKy on Hexbear.
• To share my interests: Prog metal, vegan cooking, goofy memes, you name it.
• Mutual aid: I can't stress enough how much this site has helped me survive and have basic needs met during this very rough time of looking for stable employment as a black androgyne in Florida.

I'm way too cool for school

Good luck, comrade

I've been very shy about that label for this exact reason myself. Not only that, but even among a majority of mainstream liberal feminists that aren't explicitly TERFy, I feel like there is underlying bioessentialism in their form of feminism. As a black person in particular, womanist is usually what I'd call myself if I must.

Feminist-washing and pinkwashing racism are some of liberals' classic signature moves.
