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.

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.
