If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

Dug up their survey for it out of curiosity, you can find their original post here https://hexbear.net/post/2226865
Interesting note on cis women https://hexbear.net/comment/4782033
the transes just keep winning 
I'm glad that people are starting to notice that the lack of cis women on lemmy is a problem that needs solving. I'm not sure what exactly is the root of the issue, though.
Huh?
Did you see the "interesting note on cis women" mentioned in the OP?
Ah, thanks for pointing that out to me, I genuinely missed that missed that part and didn't see where your comment was coming from.
Honestly I assume everyone here is trans/gender queer until told otherwise. It's just that kind of environment, which is great.
We're pretty cool.
fuck hexbeat idc about their gender ive had nothing but bad experience when encountering them
Hey look, the tankie got dogpiled for lying about her favorite instance being trans inclusive, now she wants to post somewhere else to recover her ego! If you give so much of a shit about trans people, why don't you explain how exactly we would be better off under Stalin? How does simping for queerphobic authoritarians get us closer to liberation?
PSA: Any trans people looking for a non-toxic instance would do well to consider [email protected] or another trans-friendly community. While Hexbear claims to be trans-friendly, they don't cater to western progressives at all, so you better be willing to embrace their whole marxist/leninist tankie schtick.
Also note that the charts in this post are essentially meaningless, as this wasn't in any way a statistical random sample of users, and this was even acknowledged by the original poster on Hexbear. Due to self-selection bias (this survey was conducted in their trans community, after all) you cannot make any meaningful inferences about the proportion of trans people on Hexbear as a whole. It may well be representative of the subscribers to their trans community though.
Oh, yeah, sure; the consoomer-queer instance that named themselves after a fucking IKEA plush that's ABSOLUTELY going to mark out for EVERY corporation to put up rainbows tomorrow is TOTALLY the place to go lmfao. "way to prove my point" uh no, jackass; you don't get to post blatantly inflammatory hit-pieces about one of the only actually based and liberatory queer spaces on the fediverse and then think you won't get any pushback. Now don't you have some c-suite's low-quarters to be tongue-bathing elsewhere?
Thank you cis ally for telling trans people what's up by talking shit on other trans people.
No pronouns in display name or bio. Way to speak on trans issues while not doing the bare minimum.
I see that you still have not been able to recover from your brief exposure to world systems theory.
fuck off cissie
note from the op
Note: some comments got cut out because the server doesn't like displaying more than 300 from what I can tell. I did my best with what it would show, I just sorted them by new. This should be fairly representative of the currently active userbase. As an aside, I believe we did a similar survey a looong time ago, and we had only 33% of the active userbase as trans.
Another cis-male thinking he knows what is best for trans people. Hexbear has proven that they have more trans admins and mods than any other instance. How many trans folks are on the divisionsbyzero mod or admin team?
Got any proof of them not catering to western progressives?
Do you mean accepting the genocide abroad to vote for the lesser evil?
Also note that the survey was site-pinned for over a week.
How about your stay in your lane and tell us everything you've done as an admin for your instance to be welcoming to trans people, how about those left of you that you label a "tankie" which gives you free reign to engage in transphobia? Even trans-anarchists on hexbear have been subjected to you and yours slander campaign.
Or better yet how about you stop commenting in posts that have nothing to do with you.
I rarely see politics (beyond explicitly gender-related issues) on hexbear's traaa.
