A big part of our reputation in the trans community comes from our feud with TransLifeLine. Back in the day a hulking Swedish ex-military transwoman showed up at Dear Leader's house with a crossbow to intimidate him. We investigated her and found out she was running a charity that supposedly operated a suicide hotline for transpeople, but in reality let all calls ring out and used all the donations to fund her roadtrips around the US. We did our best to expose this, up to and including ripping their financials, getting full testimonials from volunteers and even proxying volunteer accounts to livetweet the number of calls in and the zero calls being answered. They defended themselves by pushing a 'Kiwi Farms are murderous nazis trying to shut down a trans suicide hotline because they want to kill transwomen' narrative, and blaming us for the suicides of random transwomen we'd never even heard of before, and that shit stuck immediately. Nobody would look at our receipts, and anyone who questioned whether we were really monstrous tranny-killing nazis were immediately excommunicated from the online trans communities they were a part of.I used to be of the mindset this site was all pedo Nazi rapists who skin their cats and try to hunt down faggots to torture and murder or like just hack you and take all your money perhaps.. at least a good number of people anyways. I boomered out a bit here running into this situation. I always stayed away from sites like this.
Josh tried making trans-friendly sister websites to host receipts on, we tried reaching out to notable trans and lgbt youtubers, we tried pretty much everything we could think of, and it all hit a brick wall because a couple of fat degenerate criminals said "Kiwi Farms wants to kill transwomen", and the trannies all circled wagons and believed it so uncritically that they actually irl harassed the widow of a suicided transwomen because she spoke out against them for blaming her wife's death on us. In the end we gave up, and a year or two after we stopped trying the TransLifeLine board of directors quietly removed the two criminals for gross misfeasance, after literally years of ignoring it because they couldn't allow those damn Kiwi Farms nazis to get a W. The hotline is actually working as intended under new management, which is a happy ending, but years too late.
We've had an adversarial relationship with the trans community ever since, and our userbase has only gotten more transphobic because our reputation attracts likeminded people, and in big part because the rest of the internet is getting sanitised and people feel like they have nowhere else to speak freely, but that doesn't change the fact that the site owner and a lot of the oldfags here honestly attempted for a long time to find ways to appeal to the trans community without compromising the free speech ideals we love. In the end we all gave up and accepted that that Kiwi Farms just wasn't a place for trannies unless they kept their heads down or shucked and jived for the alt-right.
This is why some of the oldest users here think it's so special that you joined us.
