Y’all, we have a problem.

These are some of the results of a survey done on our community concerning gender identity:

1.08% Binary Trans men (4).

1.08% Transmasculine people (4).

1.35% Cis women (5).

That’s right, there are more CIS WOMEN on a TRANS community than binary trans men or transmasculine people alone.

We have a problem.

This isn’t just a Blahaj problem. Another queer instance did a similar survey and found only 3% of their users were trans and use he/him pronouns.

Not having enough transmasc voices is going to be detrimental to our community. There are plenty of transmasc people on the internet. The problem is with Lemmy.

So what are we gonna do about it?

    I am happy to hear you are enjoying lemmy.

    But I think we might be mincing words here with “problem.”

    problem: there are too few AFAB people in the space problem: the space is unwelcoming to AFAB people

    Reddit may not be (excessively) misogynistic (or transmisandric), but fewer AFAB are on reddit than we would have liked. Lemmy I think is this but even more extreme.
