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?

    Cis here. There isnt much content on Lemmy, compared to reddit.

    I don’t participate in this community but I do see a lot of this instances posts on ‘All’.

    You can see that as a con, as you’ve pointed out, or as a plus, you’ve got reach outside of your community.

    You may be better off with a private invite only community of some sort. I’m not sure if that is possible with Lemmy, it might be.
