It's baffling to me that hexbear claims to be the most trans-positive space online while also having mandatory support of Hamas, the Houthis, Russia, Iran, etc. as a core part of the site culture - sh.itjust.works

I know that there are a lot of trans people on hexbear, and I know their beliefs are sincere. What I don’t understand is how they square the fact that they would be brutally suppressed, raped, tortured, murdered by the very groups/governments they unwaveringly love and support. It sickens me. Is it a manifestation of self-hatred? I just don’t get why they would degrade themselves like this.

    That’s a good point. I wish I understood the details of how Xinjiang has changed over the years but I know it is doing very well now and Uyghur culture is respected and celebrated.

    I wish we had public opinion polling from China, because I’m guessing that any “anti-uyghur” sentiment that existed in the non-uyghur population has also gone down in the past 20 years.
