Other: zero votes No diversity here. This is dry land we got here
Enby kinda covers everything, right? I don't think the genderfluid folk would be offended by an “enby” label but better to leave the option in, I guess.
I agree on Enbys covering essentially everything. My comment was supposed to be some joke, since on Fedi we actually are very diverse, which is super cool.
It's been 8 hours since the poll started, maybe somebody has already voted the "Other" option.
EDIT: Yep. I just checked and 4 people have voted "Other" so far.
I’ve always wondered why MtF seems way more common the FtM
If you're just talking about the fediverse, it's probably because a lot of us (MtF's I mean) got interested in things like tech at a young age, and that interest just persisted into adulthood. Interests like that aren't pushed as much to people raised as girls, so a lot of FtM people don't really get into it, if they even have the chance to try it at all.
If you mean society as a whole, well there are a lot of reasons. A big one imo is media representation. Every single sitcom had a trans girl character at some point, but the only one I could think of that had a trans guy before the 2000s was the Golden Girls.
ngl I've been looking into this recently and its actually kinda the opposite in most countries - considering usual misogynistic societies a women would be 'improved' as a man and the opposite vise versa.
Hence why we have like Pocahontas a while back but not really mtf equivalents (at least that I can think of, and aren't just the butt end of a joke).
But nowadays the mtf's are finally able to be themselves so I feel like were seeing a wave of relief in the community that's always been there (just repressed af)
Depends on the circles you move in. On Tumblr FtM is (or was, when I used it) far more visible.
Probably since it's a platform used mostly by dudes, who'll keep using it afterwards
That's because the FtM lads are all too busy chopping lumber and winning bread.
It's because it is. The short version is because it's socially acceptable for a woman to be somewhat masculine but it's not socially acceptable for a man to be feminine. A man wearing makeup, a dress, etc. stands out way more than a woman wearing a suit, jeans, etc. It is believed that this results in higher rates of transwomen. Obviously this is an oversimplified explanation, but it's the gist of it.

I've always wondered that as well, it's really weird because you would think it's an even split but it ends up being so extremely disproportionate.
I can't figure out how to log off my computer
Are these new genders I am unaware of?
You gotta keep up with the patch notes.
They keep nerfing cis but I guess that's ok cause it's still OP af.
nah, these were added a long time ago
Update:
This checks out. I was cismale until I joined Lemmy and got hatched by the Blåhaj Zone. Now I can write sentences like the preceding one without even flinching.
