If you are looking for a more secure and safe trans space, we suggest you visit https://hexbear.net/c/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns. While we will try our best, lemmy.ml/c/transgender is far more open to the fediverse, and also to trolls. One of the site admins of lemmy.ml, nutomic, is also a transphobe, while hexbear is ran mostly by trans people and has a very active trans community.

MODERATORS
 

If you have no preferred pronouns, just say (none) or something

This will help make people feel more comfortable in this comm and has a side effect of showing you support trans people when making comments in other communities. It will also make reactionaries seethe and make it easier for mods to purge them, and make trans people feel safer all over the fediverse.

you can change your username? but i like my username the way it is. so if i did this, i'd be like, juliebean_she_her_her_hers_herself@lemm.ee? bit of a mouthful, innit?

The displayed username is different from the internal one. Im mathemachristian@lemm.ee but once i figure out how to do this it will display me as mathemachristian (he/him)@lemm.ee but internally refer to me still as mathemachristian@lemm.ee

edit: got my accounts mixed up but the point is the same

Display names can, by default at least (on hexbear its 80 I think), be at most 24 chars long

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, there's your username and the thing that's displayed above your posts. My username is apotheotic, my display name is apotheotic (she/her)

[–] juliebean@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

huh, okay, today i learned. now that you've mentioned it i do see your display name if i click through to your user page, but not on your posts/comments, and idk how to change mine, but if other folks can see that, i'll look into it if i see a way.

this would be a good case for lemmy to start supporting flairs like reddit does. No shame in copying legitimately useful features.
