Hexbear has a bad reputation for many reasons, but I've never heard anyone claim that they're anti trans. They are known for being incredibly protective of their trans members.
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.
