As you may know, I moved to using my blahaj.zone account almost exclusively, as I kinda disliked the vibe I was getting from .world. At the same time, I also want to gage the feelings people have about the migration. Will you continue to use 196 on lemmy.world? Are you happy with the change? I want to hear from you:
Welcome to femcel memes. A place where anybody can post memes that fit the vibe.
Warning: We have a tendency to post things that may at times come from a self-deprecating perspective or things that are funny coming from another queer person. This space will always be a safe place for transfems, non-binary people, people with a feminine gender expression (GNC or otherwise) or anybody else in the LGBT Community to come together and share about our experiences but we truly feel that laughing about the sometimes silly and embarrassing parts the queer experience can help bring us together. We never mean offense or harm in anything posted but rather they are satirical takes coming from queer people.
A note about 'Egging': Our community is mostly made up of transfem individuals, and as such most memes posted will be posted with the intention of having a transfem perspective. However, regardless of gender identity, all feminine presenting individuals are welcome here. Whether that means you're NB, GNC, transmasc, or any other identity, you are welcome here. It is not our intention or goal to invalidate these identities. If something makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to report the post and I will address your concerns on an individual level. For more information regarding the problems with 'Egg-culture', please see Here.
Love Y'all and thank you for following this community
I do wish it was a different instance. Having all the big communities in one instance is concerning. I guess they weren't willing to put in the effort to go anywhere else.
On top of that, lemmy.world has a bit of a reputation as less queer friendly, as it tries to accommodate for more conservative techies. I've personally run into an awful lot of respectability centrists who refuse to listen to the concerns of minorities. They think we're overreacting, and that's very upsetting because it comes off as gaslighting. Many of them are just in denial about the state of the world; unwilling to challenge their own perception of the world as a just place.
Way too many people subscribe to the idea of "if I don't hear about it then it isn't happening." No, bitch, it's happening, and it's a hell of a lot worse than you think. It's the only way I can imagine that people truly, unironically believe that LGBT people, especially trans people, are just "overreacting".
Or to put it another way, they're the kinda people who'd unironically believe that a tree doesn't make a sound when it falls in the forest, and then get pissed off when a physicist tells them that the tree makes a sound no matter what.
We believe what we see. I guess I could be described as one of those liberal techies, and I'm a white cis hetero dude from a middle class background.
We are all monkeys after all, and if you see all monkeys around you being like you and doing okay, you subconsciously apply that to the whole world. Even if you know, on a rational level, that it's wrong.
We’re apes actually.
