put on the thigh highs. we won't ask a second time

he bear

Wtf where is she bear

Same

I am straight

There aren't many cis women, yeah. I go over their rough numbers here. Basically, per week we should be getting around 40-50 cis women, based on the trans survey's numbers. Hopefully, lemmy will let us do more complex polling and surveys in the future.

puttin

please xi/xir

Ready to accept my punishment

there's almost no cis women in online left spaces

I think that's just Reddit derived sites. Almost all Tumblr leftists I've seen are cis women and a fair chunk of Twitter leftists are as well (I don't know because I'm not a part of that digital hell)

Let me know if I'm off the mark about any of this, but my guess is that we'd see a significant bump in cis women if the polling were anonymous. Things are getting lot better now as the internet becomes increasingly diverse, but early on it was dominated by white, cishet techbros who suddenly found themselves with their own anonymous soapbox with endless reach.

Cis women learn from an early age that outing their gender on the internet results in creeps crawling out of the woodwork to harass them, so they don't do it. Transwomen face the same misogyny, but are far more comfortable on the internet owing to their experience of using it before hatching.

I put unsure, which is true, though I’m AFAB and cis presenting. A lot of online spaces (whether leftist or otherwise) are just hard to interact with when you’ve grown up conditioned to femininity. At least on Twitter, TikTok etc there is some amount of accountability with people’s accounts but in more anonymised spaces the language and discourse is often just very… dismissive, cynical, violent, etc. and it’s not that it’s not warranted, but cis women are often raised to be repelled by that kind of tone so it can be a shock/difficult to fit in even if the space isn’t overtly or implicitly misogynist.

Because irl women face gender discrimination and greater exploitation, which is a very radicalizing experience that most would like to do away with after facing it from the time you first gain consciousness until you pass away.

Not to attempt to invalidate anybody’s life experience or belittle anybody for their organizing efforts, but men, on the basis of their privileged position in society, have a lot less to directly gain by spending real time and real effort organizing and thus have less actual motivation on average to do something about it.

I feel like a poser being a straight cis guy and also a mod

You could almost say we're transitioning into a new queera.

It is a broader criteria after all. What's interesting is that it seems that there are quite a lot more trans queers than cis queers here.
