If so, was it polled somewhere?

    Opinion of one of the admins regarding hexbear, just so you guys know where they stand:

    In my view, the hexbear community is actually a positive force on this platform. They are frequently abrasive, but they ultimately have the potential to contribute to what we are building here. They are extremely active and some of them are quite intelligent. But they’ve also become accustomed to a privileged position on their own walled-in platform, and they need to be reminded that their views are considered ver extreme by the average person.

      Weird, simply saying that trans people that are finished transitioning aren’t trans… because they’re done transitioning… as in they’re now just a man or woman… got me called a bigot…

      Like straight up, told that I’m a bigot and should not even think of speaking about trans people.

      Some people over there also claimed that diseases didn’t kill native Americans. They claimed it’s “revisionist history” and they refered to the settlers as “shock troops”.

      I’m just glad these people probably don’t go outside very much.

          I can see why people call you a troll. You have to realize how abrasive your responses are. If the goal is to convince people of your stances on gender and politics, then you are actively undermining how willing anybody is to listen.

            It’s the same with the rest of the hexgoons. Their community should have died when chapostraphouse got nuked. God only knows how far they’ve set trans awareness back.

            I get it, I get it. I talk like a nonbinary person who has opinions. And that’s not what the patriarchy has conditioned people to expect, so there’s a reaction of fear and uncertainty from people used to living in the patriarchy.

          God, it’s insane how you can write those words and not see the hypocrisy in your statement.

          You’re an idiot, and since you’re likely a hexgoon: you all shouldn’t associate with people like this. They make things worse for trans people.
