I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of ‘hitlerites’

I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?

    Discrediting the gender identity of transgender people because they don’t agree with you politically is transphobia.

      It’s not what I’m doing. I’m saying I give this survey as much credibility as any internet survey: none.

        It’s exactly what you’re doing. Spend any time there at all and the results are entirely unsurprising, the fact that you confidently discredit and doubt trans users despite doing no research into the subject is transphobic.

          Thanks but I prefer to take advices on trans reality directly from trans people. Meanwhile you can keep rely on username like “che_superstar97”(btw haven’t we met before Cowbee?). Oh, and have you heard, the proudboys just release an internal survey, 98% of them are not racist.

            This person (yerbouti) is an embarrassment, thinks it’s OK to be a reactionary so long as you pick safe targets.

            I’d post my fucking estradiol bottle but 1. meds/diagnosis aren’t a requirement to be trans 2. I don’t owe transphobes like you shit
