TwoXChromosomes - SLRPNK

About A place for serious and silly content intended for women’s perspectives. (We are not the same mods as the Reddit r/twoxchromosomes [https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/] sub) Rules We are currently following a modified version of r/TwoXChromosomes rules here [https://slrpnk.net/comment/195833].

/c/twochromosomes explains its name with the following:

The name XX was chosen just because it illustrates the essence of this subreddit and its target Redditors–girly and geeky, and subtly awesome.

Connecting girliness with a genotype and bragging about being cisgender is not my idea of what the solarpunk movement stands for. This is gender essentialism and subtle transphobia. And the beginning of the community and of SLRPNK is the perfect time to be getting rid of transphobic names.

Admins, if you are reading this, please remove this transphobic community.

Everyone else, do you know how I can get in touch with the SLRPNK admins?

    I agree that the name is not without issues, but you can not undo history.

    People coming from Reddit are searching for communities with the same name, and they are usually not explicitly looking for a TERF community when doing so. Thus if they find our, explicitly not TERF friendly community under this name, it is better than some actual TERF name-squatting it and using it for TERF propaganda.

    I am willing to change my mind on this, but for now I don’t think the community name alone warrants administrative action as long as the community is and remains explicitly not transphobic.
