It is remarkable there are next to no cis women here no? I think this is a safe space for all FLINTA persons so why are there so few cis women?
The explanation that used to go around was that it was because we started as a lifeboat from a subreddit. Reddit has disproportionately few cis women who are disproportionately likely to only post in female-majority subreddits.
However, it's been way too long since we were a subreddit for that to still be the reason for the underrepresentation on Hexbear, especially considering that there have been multiple large user influxes since then.
I have some kinda complex thoughts on this, but I think it's site culture related and there's been a lot of user pushback to change in that regard.
