I’m curious about the makeup of this community. Might make a graph later.

        There’s quite an imbalance! I wonder why that is

          There are more trans women than men in the general populace, but that doesn’t explain why the imbalance is so large on here. If you controlled for total population it would still be an imbalance.

          People who use Lemmy in general tend to be more tech savvy than the average person, and there’s that whole stereotype about transfemme programmers.

          Alternatively, maybe transfemmes are more isolated, unaccepted, and have less support networks which leads them to seek places like this out more?

          I’m just making guesses here. I have no idea why that is or if any of it’s true.
