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.

      For those who don’t know transitioning in Iran is covered by the state healthcare. That’s not to say trans people don’t suffer from some intense social pressures and repressions and so on. But legally they are afforded certain healthcare rights we don’t even have in America. Iran is a bit of a stand-out in the Muslim world in this regard.
