If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

you can change your username? but i like my username the way it is. so if i did this, i'd be like, juliebean_she_her_her_hers_herself@lemm.ee? bit of a mouthful, innit?
No, there's your username and the thing that's displayed above your posts. My username is apotheotic, my display name is apotheotic (she/her)
huh, okay, today i learned. now that you've mentioned it i do see your display name if i click through to your user page, but not on your posts/comments, and idk how to change mine, but if other folks can see that, i'll look into it if i see a way.
Interesting!
The displayed username is different from the internal one. Im mathemachristian@lemm.ee but once i figure out how to do this it will display me as mathemachristian (he/him)@lemm.ee but internally refer to me still as mathemachristian@lemm.ee
Display names can, by default at least (on hexbear its 80 I think), be at most 24 chars long
this would be a good case for lemmy to start supporting flairs like reddit does. No shame in copying legitimately useful features.
