Cross posting this here for visibility as it’s easy to not see the edit. They are adding thoughts and resources to the post as they evolve so maybe keep an eye out for future edits.

I think the questions they have are very reasonable & they have welcomed cis people to discuss on the post (but not elsewhere on the subreddit)

I’m new to Lemmy and doing what I can. Long time member of the subreddit. Maybe some of you all are better than me at discussing these topics with them?

Thank you all for your help so far 🫶

    Thanks.

    And… like, Lemmy is not perfect. We got a small userbase, official mod tools are shitty, so goes on, the points HiddenStill raised are all valid. But the way that things are going, I genuinely feel like the community will be safer (or at least less unsafe) here than in Reddit.

      Yeah I agree. It’s progress and personally I’m very impressed by lemmy. It feels good to get connected with people who are charting paths forward in this environment.

      It sucks but historically trans people have always been a bit underground by necessity and needing to find solutions outside the mainstream (in the case of the fediverse maybe one day it will be mainstream). And a lot of us do work in tech, can help those who aren’t as savvy out. We were always active on irc and Usenet back in the day

      I think at the end of the day it’s good we’re working on this now because if things go downhill fast we can minimize our losses
