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?
I don’t have a problem with lewd content if it isn’t objectifying.
A picture of a girl getting excited over boobs is different to a meme that refers unironically to the old school ‘joke’ where women and girls with large breasts were told they have great personality. In the first example no one is degraded, while the 2nd example is a joke that has often been used to degrade women. I think context matters a lot and especially memes about trans girls appreciating their new body or describing their transition goal aren’t objectifying at all
