    On Hexbear, transphobic content can only be removed by mods and admins. If a regular user sees a dogwhistle, they can’t just downvote, they have to reply and explain it, and if the mods don’t agree, there will be nothing done about it. This is one of many reasons why Hexbear has so much transphobia.

          So is everyone on dbzero a mod? I honestly have no idea what you are saying.

          Also what transphobic content on Hexbear? You make zero sense.

            Everyone on dbzer0 has the power to downvote content they don’t think should be on the site, which means even if a mod does a false negative, the masses may still put the content at the bottom of the feed and express that it’s unacceptable.

            Hexbear is super transphobic. Half the people there think dronegender is a fake gender and call dronegender people trolls who are making fun of trans people, because they don’t have the open mindedness necessary to accept a new identity with curiosity instead of hatred. I even got banned for saying gender neutral pronouns exist, because the admins are offended by the idea “they” is a pronoun which does not assign a gender to the referent.

              Oh it’s you lmao.

              You definitely did not get banned for the reason you stated. You’re in fact doing the thing you got banned for right now by trying to define nonbinary people as not being a gender. I don’t know if you are a troll or just nitpicky to the point of invalidating other people’s experiences but in no way is hexbear transphobic.

                Nonbinary isn’t a gender. It’s an umbrella term encompassing thousands of genders. Your insistence that nonbinary people are only one gender is exactly why I say Hexbear is full of transphobes who think of themselves as allies, but whose minds are far too closed.

                Nonbinary is not one gender and they/them does not refer to one gender.
