A lot of people were very very cute and confused and essentially asked me to decide their gender for them. Eggs? Probably.
UwU I just don't know... I'm totally cis but if someone were to tell me otherwise I guess I could go along with it...
Oh no, I hope they don't pick some cute gender for me
A-are they gonna make me change my pronouns on the bear site? That would be so...!
Alright ya just signed up to be βforceβ femmed
I think there being only one cis woman on the site comes down to cis women potentially not wanting to reveal that sort of information because men on the internet would inevitably be strange about it.
That said, there's probably only 5-10 more in hiding (if that, even).
It would be interesting to see other instances demographic surveys - have they ever done any?
I think this is entirely true, if pretty sad. Cisgender women I have been in online gaming communities with nearly always end up harassed at some point.
This is true for trans women too, but for different reasons.
How dare you suggest men on the Internet would not be extremely and incredibly normal
Not many trans men
This is the weird reality of the internet. I've met far, far more trans men in real life than trans women but online it's the complete opposite. I have no idea why.
Big ups to trans men for being a lot less terminally online, lol
that's not the case for most of the ones i know at alllll π
Ah they just tend to use tumblr instead?
we stay inside where the handholding is at
According to the stereotype, trans men are grilling.
I've personally met more trans women IRL than trans men β but regarding your experience, I also feel like trans women are probably more likely to be closeted than trans men.
Something something femininity being seen as weak and shameful
For some it might be personal shame, for others it's going to be survival strategies, for many it's going to be a bit of both. Women are disproportionately more likely to support trans rights while men are disproportionately more likely to oppose, and you can also generally count on women to not be actively violent and creepy in a way that you absolutely cannot count on with men. So I think that whichever is the predominant gender in your social group is going to affect the immediate consequences of your coming out, how many people around you are potentially dangerous and how large of a support network you can maintain after coming out β and whichever gender dominates your social group is oftentimes determined a lot more by how others see you than by how you see yourself.
This is obviously not to imply that coming out as a trans man has no consequences whatsoever, though.
Pretty sure there are like 4 total AFAB people on this site
Wow this site is overwhelmingly AMAB. I knew AMAB people were the majority but I didn't expect it to be that much of a difference.
I guess that's because the site originated from a Reddit community. Would it be worth trying to recruit from more AFAB-dominated communities, like Tumblr or something?

Conèche, we need diversity of perspective.
remember when those lemmy nerds were saying we were all faking being a trans inclusive space?
They'll probably pull the "look, there can't be that many, so that proves they're lying" bullshit.
You can't win with liberal transphobes
They probably going to use the small number of cis women as an excuse to say some TERF shit.
Shoutout to the token cis woman hiding ΰΆamong usΰΆ, whoever she is
Got so much respect for the trans posters here, the depression I had growing up stemming from a comparatively light amount of alienation and isolation from my peers took an incredible amount of effort to climb out of, so it seems like an almost supernatural feat to me to be openly trans in these times.
No. Cis woman here if youβre still collecting.
While I get I can't read gender by just asking "Are you trans?" and "Pronouns?", did we not find a single cis woman on this website?
This is an opt-in poll and lots of cis women probably opted not to self-identify, as someone else pointed out
We likely would see different results in an anonymous poll as well as with a poll that included lurkers
You see that tiny dark blue sliver, i think thatβs the cis woman pop on the instance
Thanks for doing this, it's very interesting.
We have comparatively few transmen it seems. 3% of the"yes vote" use he/him pronouns, in comparison, 42.4% use she/her.
This is driven primarily by the source of the userbase here being reddit exiles. We have a low number of transmen because reddit has a low number of transmen.
I think also to a lesser extent transmen are often less radicalised than transwomen due to the focus of right wing attacks being far larger(quantity) against the latter.
WE FUCKING DID IT Even though the dataset & stuff is janky, very good results, not entirely surprising.
The amount of gender confusion/questioning in that thread was very cute. Perhaps bugging cis people about their identity more would be productive?

Almost no cis women, which i suppose is to be expected considering where we came from
Very cool. Great work, and all the love to our trans and questioning comrades. Super great to be part of a place that is so welcoming.
