Maybe, that's weird, it's still up on my instance and they've been still able to respond

Probably, most of the ones on Lemmy.world are on the covert side, using dogwhistles and subtle language, to convey their points that most other people, mods included usually miss.

They seem quite proud of it too, this was their response when questioned about it:

I don't think any of them compare to lemmy.world. I've seen people openly right wing there, and I've seen them downvote people for no apparent reason other than being openly trans. I've been trying to report these incidents when they happen but I feel like it's useless since they never do anything, even when the people are homed on their instance.

I actually saw this guy replying to one of my comments in !trans@lemmy.blahaj.zone hard to believe he isn't banned sitewide there. They usually ban alt-right fash like him pretty quickly.

Wasn't even a BBEG, was just a random NPC in the party that party members would make fun of for being "a man pretending to be a woman". The character remained in the party through the whole campaign and only served the purpose of being the butt of transphobic humor. I don't even think they had good stats or abilities.

It always felt uncomfortable when they'd do it. I felt unsafe when they would do it. I bet if they saw me now they'd make those same jokes about me directly. Probably also mock me for pronouns. They weren't good people, I don't know why I hung out with them as much as I did. I guess I just wanted to feel like I fit in with others. Well I'm glad I never came out to them even when I found out, that would've been really bad for me, instead we just quietly went our separate ways.

I don't think it's possible, I tried with some people who I thought were close friends but when they found out I was trans they disowned and bullied me.

I'm more of a beer gal myself but I could still go for some right about now. I really need to take the edge off.

I used to have a group I'd play DnD with, it was fun. We don't talk anymore though because they are right-wing assholes and would never accept me as a trans girl, since they openly made fun of transgender people. There was an NPC character in one of our campaigns which was a "man dressed as a woman" who would always get mocked for it.

Doing okay I guess. Got harassed on Twitter yesterday by some right wing chud claiming that I'll always have male genitals (really hope he's wrong and I'll be able to get surgery in the future 😭 )

Sure I can provide some examples:

I just wish they wouldn't force their gender and pronouns onto other people

Translation: Doesn't believe trans people are valid and doesn't think people should respect our preferred pronouns

I just think that they need to keep it to themselves and leave kids out of it

Translation: Doesn't believe we should exist in public, that we are a threat to children by virtue of being transgender.

It's important to protect women's spaces

Translation: Trans women shouldn't be allowed to use the same spaces cis women use

There's also more subtle ones such as people referring to cis women as real women, or referring to the transgender movement as gender ideology. The first one is wrong because trans women are real women, and the second one is wrong because transgender isn't a religion or organization like a church. They are calling it an ideology so they can pretend there is an institution to fight against, in reality transgender people just exist and want to live our lives.
