I'm glad that people are starting to notice that the lack of cis women on lemmy is a problem that needs solving. I'm not sure what exactly is the root of the issue, though.

Huh?

Did you see the "interesting note on cis women" mentioned in the OP?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Ah, thanks for pointing that out to me, I genuinely missed that missed that part and didn't see where your comment was coming from.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Honestly I assume everyone here is trans/gender queer until told otherwise. It's just that kind of environment, which is great.

We're pretty cool.

Another cis-male thinking he knows what is best for trans people. Hexbear has proven that they have more trans admins and mods than any other instance. How many trans folks are on the divisionsbyzero mod or admin team?

Got any proof of them not catering to western progressives?

Do you mean accepting the genocide abroad to vote for the lesser evil?

Also note that the survey was site-pinned for over a week.

How about your stay in your lane and tell us everything you've done as an admin for your instance to be welcoming to trans people, how about those left of you that you label a "tankie" which gives you free reign to engage in transphobia? Even trans-anarchists on hexbear have been subjected to you and yours slander campaign.

Or better yet how about you stop commenting in posts that have nothing to do with you.

I see that you still have not been able to recover from your brief exposure to world systems theory.

fuck off cissie

note from the op

Note: some comments got cut out because the server doesn't like displaying more than 300 from what I can tell. I did my best with what it would show, I just sorted them by new. This should be fairly representative of the currently active userbase. As an aside, I believe we did a similar survey a looong time ago, and we had only 33% of the active userbase as trans.

Thank you cis ally for telling trans people what's up by talking shit on other trans people.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Oh, yeah, sure; the consoomer-queer instance that named themselves after a fucking IKEA plush that's ABSOLUTELY going to mark out for EVERY corporation to put up rainbows tomorrow is TOTALLY the place to go lmfao. "way to prove my point" uh no, jackass; you don't get to post blatantly inflammatory hit-pieces about one of the only actually based and liberatory queer spaces on the fediverse and then think you won't get any pushback. Now don't you have some techbro's low-quarters to be tongue-bathing elsewhere?

I rarely see politics (beyond explicitly gender-related issues) on hexbear's traaa.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

No pronouns in display name or bio. Way to speak on trans issues while not doing the bare minimum.
