Thanks for chiming in

Hexbear’s biggest detractors often call them anti-queer. Mostly because of an idea that western imperialists are at least nice to queer people and that anti-imperialist governments, including historically communist ones, have been staunchly anti-queer across the board. Of course, the truth is more complicated on both sides. Either way, western influence on the world has been a disaster for queer people everywhere.

I’ve seen tons of tankies say transphobic stuff, so it’s definitely an element over there. Maybe less than other tankies, but only in the way some conservatives can keep their transphobia quiet enough to watch Blair White or have her as a guest on a podcast or whatever. They don’t hate trans people there less, they’re just deceptive enough to fool people into thinking their dream ML utopia wouldn’t put queer people to death like all the others they love so much. People who aren’t transphobes don’t worship Stalin
