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?
Two ideas I have:
Find some other place that is primarily trans men and advertise this community there. I’m not sure where that would be though.
Ask people to recommend the trans men they know this community.
Are you trans? Love to shit post, but hate corporations? Do we have the site for you!
If only I could have given my past self the pitch sooner… he’d have eaten that shit up
That’s a good idea
