Hi everyone,
I made a survey to better gauge the demographics of this community. I don’t have any reason to, just doing it out of curiosity.
I’m glad that everyone felt free to talk about it in detail and have some good discussion on my previous post, but it made it hard to count all those comments up. Someone suggested that I do this to get more accurate results.
The poll ends on April 6th at 11pm. I’ll post the results when it’s over. You can also view the live results of the poll on the website.
Might make a future one for sexuality. Data is fun, what can I say.
What are your predictions for this poll?
Cis men are heavily outnumbering even binary trans women right now…I think this leaked onto all
Or you may have more allies than you think.
I imagine that’s because the post can be seen by anyone, not just subscribers.
What really surprises me is how few binary transmen there are here. In my local community it’s roughly an even split.
I noticed the same thing from the original pie chart OP posted. Turns out there is research supporting the hypothesis that there are less people identifying as binary trans male overall.
Still really interested to see what the results of this poll will be, keeping in mind that the numbers may be influenced by non-subscribers and users from across the fediverse.
Edit: whoops, corrected “transmasculine” to “binary trans male” to avoid confusion.
I was under the impression that there were significantly more transmen than women worldwide.
I seem to know more transmasculine people and trans men than transfeminine people and trans women IRL, but online, in my experience, there’s always been way more trans women and transfeminine people than trans men and transmasculine people. AMABs regardless of gender or identity have always had the biggest hold on the Internet in my experience ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Seems like a definitive answer requires more research with higher sample size.
I’ve also noticed a difference in online exposure, and the difference in subscriber counts between FtM and MtF communities on Blåhaj Lemmy also suggest it’s real thing.
But there’s also the possibility that people don’t want to identify with the “trans” label. Since modern models of gender identity require it to be treated as a high-dimensional vector, the spectrum representation probably doesn’t cut it for a larger amount of people than we might be aware of.
No, that’s not quite right. The source I posted just showed binary trans men as lower. Transmasculine nonbinary was a lot higher.
I think polls like this are susceptible to troll votes
Yup i m a cis man myself abd foynd it on général but I interact frequently with this community so I think it s ok
That’s fine
I think you are a Frenchman as well.
Oui
a lot of people are on this instance solely for 196 and/or because of v*ush
What is vush
vaush is a problematic internet debate nerd that a lot of younger baby leftists latch on to.
He recommended this instance because 196 had a comm here iirc.His subreddit recommended it during the reddit/spez stuff.
196 also recommended blahaj.zone and they had a big vaush following in their userbase.
Why is vaush problematic? I’m out of the loop
He’s been known to have chaser-y tendencies, he’s been casually misogynistic and racist for the sake of winning “debates”, he’s been known to defend lowering the age of consent as well as the production of CSAM(child sexual abuse material), and most recently he’s been known to collect loli and zoophilic (not furry) hentai.
“problematic” was me being generous.
He’s the main reason 196 is so sectarian/“anti-tankie” as he has a lot of fans that post there.
Wow and here am I thinking it’s common sense to be anti tankie bc of 196
What’d you mean by this?
I (ex tankie) thougt because of the anti takie sentiment in 196 that there were a lot of ppl in general that were againat takies, but this vaush stuff makes a lot more sense
Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. I’ll definitely avoid that guy’s channel.
He what?! When did that happen?
I’ll be honest I think I confused his subreddit with him.

The meme group made a com here (it has 331 subs but seems to be mostly dead at the moment)
196 also made a post with lemmy.blahaj.zone/c/196 mentioned
https://www.reddit.com/r/196/comments/146y2qw/r196_offsite_migration_discord_info/
Reddit 196 has(had?) a lot of vaushites in their userbase and so that carried over here.
Ally from all here. Surprised by all the CIS myself.
