/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?
Naming the subreddit something gender essentialist is an admonishment not to be gender essentialist? What? Are you saying the name is satire, like /r/The_Donald used to be?
