    I can actually understand all that very well. Sorry about your negative experience

    I do want to mention one thing though

    it’s this that made me consider your community dangerous, especially for minority groups.

    Our “weaponized anger” is quiet frequently used in defense of minority groups, particularly trans people. She’s gone now but one of our original admins, TransComrade69, was militantly defensive of trans people and it really shaped how our community formed. We also do our best to do the same for other queer people, bipoc, the disabled and nuerodiverse, women, the poor, and (most relevant to the arguments we get into here) people from the global south.

    But I actually do understand how our community’s stance can be offputting for some people and wouldnt recommend it to just anyone, even leftists.

      Our “weaponized anger” is quiet frequently used in defense of minority groups, particularly trans people.

      And they definitely deserve all the protection they need. I am fortunate to have some trans friends myself as well, they are definitely the most oppressed group and even frequently the ignored member of the lgbtqia+ by its own members. By comparison I’m definitely the weakest member as a gay man, I have “passed” to varying degrees for a large amount of my life and so have been fortune to dodge some of the atrocities they are subjected to.

      If there’s one group that deserves the militant protection in today’s environment it is them. That I can definitely appreciate your community does!
