Why male in quotation marks. Just why.

I read it as emphasis (since the text is also all caps)

[-] oftheair 3 points 1 month ago

Agreed, that seems wrong and misgendery.

[-] Soulg@ani.social 15 points 1 month ago

No it's referring to the "male loneliness epidemic"

[-] oftheair 3 points 1 month ago

Then why is only male in quotes?

[-] apotheotic@beehaw.org 11 points 1 month ago

Because there is a loneliness epidemic, but its not centred on males

Thanks for explaining!

The poster is a trans man and I think it's them feeling validated as male, that's how I read it

Do you mean the OP in this thread because if so we're pretty sure that's not the case.

If you mean within the context of the pictures, sure.
