    Just to reiterate, I’m still an anarchist, and I’m not the only one that uses hexbear. Seems like this is just an epithet you’re using to call people you disagree with.

    running away to their circlejerk

    the reason they’re all in the other thread is because this thread is locked from the hexbear side, per the last exchange between carcosa and db0.

    claiming they’re the smart ones

    I make no claims on that front, I just claim that I go outside and actually work with other anarchists on a routine basis i-love-not-thinking



  • Yup, and saying that I actually organize irl as an anarchist was intended to point out that it how silly it is to declare people’s politics based on a handful of lines of text online.

    I could have certainly been less snarky, but I’m not the one passing judgement on people as not being good enough anarchists.

    I was annoyed at getting called a red fascist yet again, this time for mocking the abuse of the disengage rule in clear bad faith.













  • I got the opinion piece is that some folks in the gay community worry that wanting to transition can also mean being attracted to the same sex and being confused about it at a young age.

    My experience was that I was not attracted to men at all, but because I liked sailor moon and painting my nails people would just assume that I was. It just strikes me as a very paternalistic attitude to be worried about misguiding poor gay people who are simply “confused”.

    Because transitioning is a decision, but who you are is not. And I believe that when you’re so young, it’s really hard to know who you are.

    Being trans is very much a part of who you are. However while there has been a tremendous social pressure to repress over the years, trans people are not a recent development.

    I’m a trans woman, I transitioned later in life, but I knew from a very young age that I was uncomfortable as a boy and I didn’t have the words to describe it until much later in life.

    I grew up in the 90s’s/00’s and back then the gatekeeping and lack of information was pretty bad. Unless you were presenting with an acute mental health condition you really weren’t getting taken seriously. I was able to hold my shit long enough to go to a college and land a career because throwing myself into work (and drinking heavily) was my coping skill.

    Meeting and working with another trans person after years of repressing that feeling was all it really took for me to put it together and transition myself after 10+ years of denial. That’s also what happens when trans people are erased from daily life.

    I think it’s a good thing that kids actually get listened to when they say what they want. It’s not ‘ice cream for dinner’ but that orientation does speak volumes. None of these transition decisions get made flippantly, this is a process that takes years and plenty of oversight.




  • I had to laugh at this ridiculous line from the opinion piece:

    staff members had a dark joke that at the rate they were going, there would be “no gay people left.”

    The whole idea that transition care is “getting rid” of gay people is ridiculous, I was into girls way before I transitioned. The other trans people I know are all extremely gay.

    You are concerned about a child making a decision that they may regret… so you think the decision should be made for them?

    What I have a major problem with is that voicing an opinion, or have any form of meaningful debate, is met with immense aggression, trolling, cancelling, intimidation

    So, trans people, I support you to exist, be happy, live a meaningful life. But unfortunately there’s a group of loud people who are honestly behaving like psychopaths who are making it hard to stay sympathetic. Wake up.

    “I get aggression and trolling”

    “people being mean to me are psychopaths who make it hard for me to stay sympathetic to trans people”

    but why is it so hard to not accept that other anarchists have different experiences than you?

    It’s not, I’m used to it. I’m not a fan of getting told I’m something other than what I am simply because of people’s perception of me.

    You think I’m “allying with” people because I don’t feel comfortable being around anticommunists and made fun of the situation here.

    I’m fine with the disengage rule, Im glad you are less aggressive at censorship than the rest of them, but I still found the behavior of baiting then disenaging something to make light of. I’m not going to tell you how to run your space.

    Again I take your reading of me listing my experience as superiority as too sensitive. I get exasperated when I express something unorthodox and I get called a red fascist. In response I state my personal experience in organizing as an anarchist, to point out that making declaration about who is and isn’t anarchist based on internet comments is silly.

    I don’t think posting anticommunism in the middle of widespread actual fascism is a good use of time, but I’m not going to say the people doing it aren’t anarchists or are secretly fascists. The worst I might say for that is terminally online and misguided.


  • Other anarchists participating in anticommunist snark comms and towing the line on that front dissappoints and leaves me wary too, hence my mockery of this particular situation.

    I pointed out that I’m actually active as an anarchist in the real world because people routinely claim that I am something else. If you read that as claiming superiority then I read your reading as projection.
