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.

    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 that I’m not interested in is frequently posted surely you can see how that impacts the experience from my perspective. I’ve neither the time nor inclination to curate a feed. Did that on Reddit when I had to, but we’re not there yet. I’m simply answering the question.

        Where are you getting that?

        I mean, FFS my comment literally said “Live and let live, and absolutely respect everyone’s right to be whatever they want”. And now I don’t want other people to exist? How do you even get through a day?

          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”.

            Honestly, 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. 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

          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.
