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.

I keep my personally-identifiable social media completely distinct from my openly trans social media. I'm not out IRL and I'm in a part of America where it would be ~~dangerous~~ too dangerous for my comfort level to come out / present as trans so for the moment I'm just doing the most good I can with my cis-persona, and I'll come out when it feels safe to do so.

EDIT: not to imply that there is anywhere in America where it's not dangerous.

Lemmy is neither private nor secure. Assume anything here can be seen by anyone in the world.

Which isn't some dire thing, it's just part of the decision making process
