I've been calling for a c/transgendercirclejerk for time
Pretty sure this would break every single rule hexbear has lol
trans people get the t word pass
Nobody gets the circle pass. Hexagons only.
but it would need per-community slur filters so I can call myself the t slur
mood, i do it a lot irl lmao
When my friend circle would meet up we'd call it "[t-slur] Tuesday". But this being the internet we'll have to be a lot more careful
I stepped into tgcj once and got whiplash so hard I never returned lol. All that to say I don't understand it, but I understand some people enjoy it?
traaa would be very welcome
yeah i could see a more toned down version, at minimum we need something like /r/traa
Yeah same thing happened to me. I'm like idk I don't know if I want to be subject to slurs even if it's a joke
I mean the site is a trans site !memes@hexbear.net is a perfectly valid comm to flood with traaaa memes for tgcj the slur filter is hard-coded noone can get a pass. Could you make a !commrequest@hexbear.net post for the communities you want?
Main reason I think is people want to see something with a similar name / objective, would make it easier to onboard people. I'll make a post on that in a bit
c/traa would be cool to have. Honestly I do miss r/traa on reddit despite all of it's problems cus it at least served as a general trans space on 
no more half measures walter

Only if we can say "pronoun up!" to outsiders the way that PCM did about their insipid "alignment" flairs. (half joking)
it's mandated here lol. no need to say anything cause you have to pick it on sign up.
Hexbear is federated with instances that do not mandate pronouns.
oh I see what you mean. yeah, pronoun up sounds good to me.
Tgcj uses a ton of slurs is the only thing I'll point out. May go against our rules
Yeah we'll start with traa and work on something from there
One thing we absolutely have to be prepared for when recruiting is redditors whining about ebil red fash totalitarian tankies, that has reliably happened every time i've seen hexbear brought up in trans spaces on reddit when i was still posting there (which wasn't that long ago).
Edit: Also we may want to keep in mind that all trans subs on reddit are infested to at least some degree with transmeds and /tttt/ reactionaries, which are simply an internal threat to any trans community. It's the main reason i don't go there anymore, even in a "a only visit trans-related subs" kind of way. They're not many, but they are too many.
I'm aware, people are weird
redditors are extra weird. i've edited my post accordingly because unfortunately, a lot of my trans reddit experience was checking which transmed subs people with bad takes were posting on. These are rare on r/traaaa, but i can't speak for r/tgcj
