amab: assigned mysterious at birth

I think this is entirely true, if pretty sad. Cisgender women I have been in online gaming communities with nearly always end up harassed at some point.

This is true for trans women too, but for different reasons.

comes down to cis women potentially not wanting to reveal that sort of information

One could create an alt account specifically for answering the survey, but that's maybe a bit botherstinky.

How dare you suggest men on the Internet would not be extremely and incredibly normal

I was going to comment on the "No"'s who went out of their way to choose [any] or [they/them] pronouns, but this would make sense as a reason to choose those.

I would have been like this but I was largely away and did not have good answers

This is the weird reality of the internet. I've met far, far more trans men in real life than trans women but online it's the complete opposite. I have no idea why.

You see that tiny dark blue sliver, i think that’s the cis woman pop on the instance

Had this been polled a year or two ago I would have probably answered no. Maybe there are more like me in the maybe-department.

This is an opt-in poll and lots of cis women probably opted not to self-identify, as someone else pointed out

yeah, theres probably somewhere around 5-15 (and maybe very optimistically, 40-50 per week) daily active cis women based on the numbers here. def an issue that needs to be fixed, along with finding some transmascs. But this is also a public poll and a good number of people are less likely to answer things publicly, so the actual rates are somewhat skewed

to be frank i wouldnt be surprised if we had almost all the cis women on lemmy here, lol. a lot of the other instances do their damndest to run them off (re: even with alleged anti-misogyny rules, they get harassed a ton). i think we need to find a posting vanguard of cis women and trans mascs that lead the charge like how we've done with transfems. over time, by focusing on pronoun tech and building trans specific areas of the site, the trans pop has skyrocketed. just gotta find good ways to flesh that out for other groups. i recall @Othello@hexbear.net i think suggesting identifier emojis for poc people, and i figure just finding some trans mascs and putting them in charge of some communities will also go a long way to building up the trans masc pop. for cis women, im not so sure how to attract more, maybe we can analyze reddit womens communities and see what theyre interested in talking about and setting up specific spots of hexbear for those interests.

I ran the math and we have 0.82 definitely-cis women in this survey

the funny part is I'm pretty sure my math is right
