God forbid that you actually openly communicate with a woman!
It's painfully obvious that the Lemmy population is primarily men.
Frustrating.
edit: to save my sanity, I choose believe that the majority of comments here are trolling. Y'all cannot genuinely be this dense.
I wanted to talk with other women about this to get more clarity and it turns into..this. Damn.

Namechange of Community?
Hey, its nice that you make it explixitly that trans woman are women and the posts also seem trans friendly. Still, the name "twoxchromosomes" makes me feel uncomfortable, because the name is kinda trans exclusionary. Also you include trans men and nonbinary people in the community with this name, which would be assome, but they are no women, and then saying "all women included" but include them with said title feels weird. I understand the reasoning that you wanted to attract people from reddit, but now that you already have a lot of subscribers, would you mind changing the name to something more inclusive/broad? (Again, "womans" spaces exclude Nonbinary People, some of whom are read as women by society and many face similar issues as women, like negativity towards feminit and/or being able to get pregnant and/or others.)

FrayBa Campaign: Women and Autonomy / Hearts of freedom and justice
In the communities of Chiapas, as well as in the rest of Mexico, structural violence leaves women in a subordinate role in practically all areas of public and private life, also violating girls' access to the full exercise of their freedom and autonomy. Indigenous women suffer from the triad of oppression and violence - gender, race and social class.
The Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas Human Rights Center (Frayba) walks alongside and hand in hand with strong women who fight and seek access to justice, autonomy and a life free of violence.
What does Frayba do?
Frayba accompanies and strengthens individuals, families, groups, organizations, communities and peoples who walk the horizon of their autonomy and self-determination.
What do we do with your donation?
When you decide to support us on a monthly basis, you contribute to us continuing to accompany women and their strengthening processes, in addition to carrying out national and international advocacy actions that make visible the violence they suffer in our country and in the communities in Chiapas.
Why do we need to join forces?
Faced with the context of generalized violence - which manifests itself in threats, torture, forced displacement, femicides, etc. - and consequently impunity, the most vulnerable continue to be women, children and adolescents.
The Executive Secretariat of the Public Security System (SESNSP) announced in its report "Violence Against Women, Criminal Incidence and 9-1-1 Emergency Calls" that from January to December 2022 it recorded 2,807 murdered women, This figure a total of 968 Mexican women were victims of feminicide.
In 2019, Mexico ranked first in feminicide out of 24 countries, reaching levels never seen before with more than ten murders of women per day; in 2022 that figure will increase to 11 women.
The women that Frayba accompanies are a fundamental basis for the articulation of cases and processes that seek peace, justice, truth and equality; They also participate in spaces for analysis, reflection and training for decision-making in their groups, organization, communities and towns. In addition to being protectors and providers for their families, they become DEFENDERS OF HUMAN RIGHTS.

Missing women on Lemmy and decentralised networks
With more people joining Lemmy and other decentralised networks there is a growing shift to the common misogyny and sexism we find on other social media networks (YouTube, Reddit, etc.).
I think it's pretty obvious that the reason is that there are even less women here than other places online. What are your ideas on how to change that? Or do you feel it is a lost cause?

www.independent.co.uk Have men just found a way to be even creepier online? | Victoria RichardsIt’s no secret that toxic men will go to extraordinary lengths to berate, bore and belittle women on the internet. But that doesn’t mean I wasn’t shocked to find one man taking things to another level
>But ladies: brace yourselves. There’s a new one in town... > >Last night, I received an unsolicited message from a man – on eBay. > >Yes, you heard right: the online shopping portal. > >What could the man who tracked me down on eBay hope to find out about me? Is it my penchant for mismatched china, all the better to pour Hendrick’s gin from, at ill-advised Sunday afternoon tea parties? Perhaps it’s my obsession with the exact shade of lipstick favoured by Sylvia Plath? > >What he was actually doing, in fact, was going out of his way to contact me to tell me how wrong and how stupid I was; how I “don’t understand capitalism”. So incensed was this stranger, by a tongue-in-cheek piece I’d written sympathising with a Gen Z TikToker who went viral for crying about her first job after graduation, that he went all out to track me down.
