If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

Nutomic is still a site admin, nothings been done. I fully suggest if you want a more safe and secure place for trans people to move to hexbear. They have a lot of very friendly and inclusive trans people there and are very active and have something like 50 trans mods/admins. You can browse their comms from lemmy.ml if you want to take a look at them
I would ban him from here but to do that he has to make a post so ๐คทโโ๏ธ. Lemmy.ml admin team is 100% a boys club and its why this instance is so bad. I personally use lemmy.ml to check on trans spaces across the fediverse, I feel like thats the only use case its good for.
yeah i've had my eye on hexbear for a while. if Lemmy weren't so resource intensive i'd run a personal instance myself, but looks like hexbear is probably where i'll end up (assuming they accept me :p)
Hexbear caters to a pretty specific flavor of Marxism. I think you'd be accepted, just be prepared. Pro China, Cuba, DPRK, etc positions are pretty much the norm, and you gotta have a lot of receipts if you want to push against any of those positions and prevent getting dunked on.
i think the DPRK is the only on that list i don't hold positive opinions about, or really any at all. everything i "know" on it is typical western propaganda so i try to keep my opinions open
Is there any chance that further advocacy would be entertained? I can't imagine nutomic being removed as admin any time soon ... but having his banning of beaver undone seems viable and perhaps a meaningful inroad with the rest of the admin team.
Doubt it, I messaged them about either possibility, crickets. Maybe if they had a trans person or simply someone that isn't a guy on the team it would be different. Right now I fully suggest swapping to hexbear if you want a safer space for trans people, but if you're fine with wading through bullshit, other places are fine I guess.
Beehaw is a safe space for trans folks :)
I can also suggest lemmy.blahaj.zone has a lot of trans people too and I think skews somewhat less political than hexbear
Ada refused to answer a simple direct question that I posed "Will you ban trans fascists/racists" and preferred to talk around it
As such blahaj.zone is not an inclusive space and is fundamentally only for white people of a liberal bent, the only place I can recommend as accepting and inclusive and has a large trans community is hexbear.
Also, to be frank, most of their community is /c/196. Trans people feel like a minority there.
'Apolitical' just means liberal and too accepting of transphobes, racists, and chasers and is a prime issue with this instance even.
You might be able to ban them directly from https://phtn.app/
