why am I attracted to the man in teletubby stiletto boots?? Why???

Girl, this community is full of trans folks, and not all of us are trans women. I’d wager the majority of people annoyed with this post are not cis, and it seems like some of them are trans women, too

It’s not even something I would post in a community just for trans women, like what about trans women that don’t end up with these characteristics? Are people only trans women if they identify with these changes? Why is the assumption that men (and I guess pre-transition trans women) have anger issues and porn addictions? Why are those qualities tied to their hormones and physical bodies, so trans women who can’t or won’t medically transition are excluded from benefitting?

no, but they are often conflated

femboy = a feminine boy, sometimes like the opposite to tomboy-- a gender presentation and/or aesthetic sense or style choice

twink = an effeminate, small person, almost always referring to a man-- a description of body type and/or sexual dynamic

these are not exhaustive definitions and are kind of reductive, actually… but as a quick casual explanation I think they mostly stand

I don’t want this to be an accusation about lemmy’s user base, so take this next comment with a grain of salt:

I feel like lemmy slants male the same way early reddit did, and the same way a lot of more technical communities seem to. I’ve definitely seen threads where the perspectives being shared feel alien and out of touch, and although I’m sure that they have valuable insights about many topics, it does feel kind of… homogenous?

One specific example is the threads arguing about whether to make lemmy more like reddit or not. Often, there are a lot of comments arguing that they don’t want to change lemmy in ways that would make it more inviting, because then more people from reddit would show up. The implication is that the average user of reddit is an idiot or should be unwelcome in some way, but to me it seems that they are just trying to select for men in technical disciplines and who have similar world views to the current user base. Idk, it’s not a great look.

Anyway, I’m non-binary and I don’t have endometriosis so I’m probably not part of the communities you’re looking for… still, I wish you all the best looking for your space. I think it’s truly less homogenous here than it seems… We’ll get more diverse perspectives over time!

don’t get me started

already hella disappointed they haven’t included FeMC or the FES story content

I’m not even a girl and I’m pissed that apparently girls aren’t considered to be a real audience by ATLUS. Plus the story was way better from the FeMC perspective…

anyway naw, no hype from me
