A safe space for GSRM (Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minority) folk to discuss their lives, issues, interests, and passions. LGBT is still a popular term used to discuss gender and sexual minorities, but all GSRM are welcome beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who consent to participate in a safe space

I thought this poll and their previous trans poll were interesting. Blahaj also had a poll with about 40 responders.

Are you an unhinged tankie? Informal Survey Result: Supermajority of Hexbear users say YES and ABSOLUTELY.

I don't really understand the downvotes this is getting. Can somebody explain? Is this just due to general negative sentiment about hexbear?

Probably that and transphobia

This is the LGBTQ+ community though.

There are plenty of quite-upvoted posts on transgender themes in this community if you check top, last 6 months. Also, the survey you posted is about LGBTQ+ more broadly, not just transgender.

I posted their other surveys in the past as well.

Though this was after I gained mod access to the transgender comms and banned like 100 transphobes from viewing it. Lemmy.world is filled with reactionary shitheads in general.

Huh. I mean, I do think you could be right. But from my perspective, that was to the transgender community, with a post specifically about a transgender survey. This is to the LGBTQ+ community, with a post about LGBTQ+ people overall. It doesn't really make sense for the downvotes to be because of transphobia, since this isn't a transgender-specific survey.

If I had to hazard a guess, the difference comes down to transgender people on blahaj.zone viewing hexbear more favourably than LGBTQ+ people on lemmy.world view hexbear.

More importantly, fuck trump, and fuck whoever removed trans people from the stonewall website.

Probably. Also some people might suspect that Hexbear users might not be reliable when answering these polls
