It is objectively a lot more male than Reddit or other social media. Reddit has many issues, but lack of women is not one of them.

Sometimes I don’t really want to get into a conversation about trans issues. I find the topic very prevalent on here, as if I’ve strayed into a sub by accident. Live and let live, and absolutely respect everyone’s right to be whatever they want, but it’s not a topic I can contribute to - and I certainly I don’t want to upset anyone by wading into an emotive topic I have no experience, interes or knowledge on, so I’d rather just leave it.
I’m just saying that it’s up there with LINUX as a prevailing topic, which I’m similarly disinterested in.
Then don’t get into a conversation about trans issues. You can also replace ‘trans issues’ with any other topics. Curate your own feed if it bothers you so much to see other people’s conversations.
Indeed you can, and that was my point. If a significant portion of posts here were on Basketball I’d make broadly the same argument. This is hardly an insanely busy place as is, so if a specific topic is that I’m not interested in is frequently posted surely you can see how that impacts the experience. I’ve neither the time nor inclination to curate a feed. I’m simply answering the question.
Sorry other people existing is such a problem for you personally.
Where are you getting that?
Not necessarily saying that this is what you’re doing, but there is a sort of bigotry against trans people that clouds itself in nice sounding language of “live and let live”.
Like when people used to say, “Oh, I don’t mind gay people, they can do whatever they want! …I just don’t want to see that kind of behavior in public”.
Sorry, but if you’re reading "“Live and let live, and absolutely respect everyone’s right to be whatever they want” as some sort of thinly disguised transphobia then I’m not sure what to say. Other than this is exactly the reason I prefer to avoid these conversations.
Its not the words themselves that give me pause in your initial comment. Its the dismissive seeming tone.
If you don’t wanna get into arguments about trans people, that’s fine, there lots of ways to curate your experience here.
But if you’re finding yourself constantly having these kinds of discussions, maybe your dismissive tone isn’t exactly helping matters. Again, i point to the “I support gay people! As long as they don’t do it in public!” Example
Believe what you want. Be well.
I don’t complain about having to see other people doing their own thing. Weird how that upsets you so much that you have to write comments about how that impacts your personal experience of a platform for people to discuss their interests.
It doesn’t upset me. It just doesn’t interest me. Neither do you, for that matter.
It’s a moral prop. Sort of like pedophilia is for the right, for the left trans issues lets them concern troll and beat everyone over the head with how noble they are for supporting it and how evil anyone is who doesn’t agree 110%.
Nobody believes what you claim they do, many trans folk are heterosexual. Supporting trans rights is a good thing, and opposing it is bigoted. “Left MAGA” doesn’t exist.
It’s better to remain silent than proclaim your bigotry if you don’t want to participate in the marketplace of ideas.
How is it concern trolling when there are actual concerns about trans people’s continued ability to exist in public life?
LMAO No one believes this, but I might start spouting it as a joke, if it’ll make you feel better.
What would “the removal of heterosexuality” even look like? Please, go on! We’re all sooo curious.
