There's been a couple of transmascs on the genderverse matrix server, but I've never seen them active at the same time :(

the transfem blahaj community has about 3,600 users, this one has about 600.
Its a pattern I've noticed on online platforms. The trans population's gender balance tends to be the opposite of the site's cis population. The fediverse seems disproportionally male generally, so it tracks.
When I discovered I was a trans woman my instinct was to look up the trans communities on the sites I already used. I didn't reevaluate my entire internet habits holistically, and switch to female dominated platforms to match my new identity. I get the impression that's what most people do.
I'm not surprised to read that bluesky has more transmasc content. Whatever platform has more cis girls will probably have more transmascs as well, at a guess.
Its probably not for the best for trans people to be on platforms dominated by opposite gendered cis people, but it seems like an inevitability of the internet.
@hildegarde that's an interesting theory. Might explain why I saw equally both transmascs and transfems on Tumblr, for example, though many transfems are leaving due to Tumblr staff being hostile to them. I also guess disproportion may be caused by transmascs tending to be silent about themselves for various reasons
That's something I've noticed as well. We tend to blend in. I don't say I'm a trans guy unless I'm somewhere like this.
Yes it’s strange. Irl I know mostly transmasc people but every online space I’ve visited is ‘dominated’ by transfem people. I’m happy they’re here but I do wish there were more transmasc people as well. I have similar aversions to tech but I like politics which is why I like lemmy.
I'm not a trans guy, I'm a trans gal. But I can say I'm not in IT!
No kidding. I don't mind it since the ladies over here on blåhaj are overall very nice and funny, but lonely does describe it pretty well. I'm relatively lucky to enjoy the tech stuff, which is one of the main reasons I'm here. Guess I oughta try to be more active myself to add a little chatter around here, but I don't usually have much to say ^^;
Welcome here! I’m not trans, but I want to say your visibility matters, and you being here makes a difference. If people see you, they’ll know that they’re not alone. So thank you.
