Thanks. I'm sure that is just oversight on the admin here's part. I've seen no indication from either that they are tankie friendly. I'll let them know. I'll also add beehaw.org to the list.
You are right not to want answers along the lines of 'you are trans' or 'you are not trans'. You are right that you are the only person that can answer that. As a non-binary trans woman, I can tell you that 'being trans' isn't a uniform experience that can be easilly put in neatly defined boxes with easy to recognise checkboxes to tick off.
Even if it turns out you are cisgendered, it is good that you are questioning gender. Some of what we think about as 'gender' is social expectations that are entirely toxic. And more cisgendered men should question those gender norms.
Then you have femboys, and other cisgendered men that have a gender non conforming expression in terms of presentation, clothing, hairstyles and makeup. Expression is not identity. Of course some femboys are nonbinary, genderfluid, trans men, trans masc or demi boys. But most nonbinary, genderfluid, trans men, trans masc or demi boys are not femboys. Again, identity is not expression.
Ultimately all you can do is work out what makes you happy. Does the thought of being a woman spark joy? Does the thought of being neither man or woman (agender) spark joy? Does the thought of being both man and woman spark joy? Or man and agender? Or woman and agender? Or being masc but not quite a man (demiboy)? Or the thought of being almost a woman but not quite (transfem)?
Answering those questions won't give you a definitive answer, just a starting point for exploration. As you explore you may find your answers to those questions change as you pilot yourself and your life towards where you want to be.
Yeah there is a lot of learning in how these forums work. I have also set up a test account and a test forum on a Friendica instance, just to see how that works. I've also joined some existing forums using my friendica account. The problem seems to be that friendica doesn't pull in old forum threads, not even the pinned posts (unless I accidentally joined a forum that has no pinned post, I'll double check).
Thanks for making this. I enjoyed eating it!
At this point we are probably ready for a small influx of early adopter users, perhaps those that showed interest in the thread a week back. I still need to create a pinned post, but with the detailed group description it is perhaps not a necessity. I also think it would be good to start posting some actual content. I know @dana@blahaj.zone and I have discussed creating a petition for a strong NATO deterent to Russia blowing up the Zaporizhzhia (or any other) nuclear power plant, or the use of any nuclear weapons, including tactical.
Maybe you need a more interesting life?
Okay weird. It actually posted successfully in this thread. Further research shows that the issue is, non-Lemmy users (from mastodon or calckey) can reply to a topic, but then a Lemmy user can't reply to those replies.
Not sure if this comment will post, because when I try to post on the community I mod, it just spins indefinitely and never actually posts. Currently using my Calckey account to post replies...
Ha ha ha! Yes! Although admittedly I chose this one because I was already @toni@blahaj.zone for my microblogging fediverse account...

Thanks, that is interesting. However since it remains unfederated, I won't confuse people by putting it in the fediverse guide. I am glad you have included it as a reply though.
