yes, yes it is. but 70-30 is very dude heavy but not quite enough to assume everyone you’re talking to is a dude. the assumption has the consequence that women, femmes, and enbies, don’t feel comfortable speaking up unless they’re comfortable with people assuming they’re men. even a lot of cis women aren’t comfortable with that. remember when reddit used to whine that women would disclose their gender in posts “for attention”?
it’s actually done a lot to affect how people relate to each other here. there’s a lot less masculinity being flung around here than on the old sub. it’s still not great but it’s better than it used to be.
it’s good for all of us, not purely for us transes.
stupidpol chud came all the way here to tell me he didn’t like my name. I’m so touched.
