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?

    This kinda reads as ‘OMG there are (cis) women on the internet’. Why the need to point out the number of cis women as a problem? There are also more cis men than trans men but i guess that’s ok?

      I think u meant to reply to the post and not my comment x3 but I guess its just cuz OP focused on AFABs, and the post doesnt complain about there being cis women but about the lack of trans men
