Has anyone else noticed how communists, it seems are mostly men, and then there is also a disproportionately high amount of trans-fems? Does anyone have any theories why? How many of you are cis-women and I haven’t noticed?

    You know I thought that too. I think it stems from mainly from the context of the online format. To be able to have found a website as small as Lemmygrad means you had to have lots of hours active online. Now people being raised female have a standard pushed on them from day one, cleanliness, beauty, and well, socializing. People who are raised male don’t have that immediate standard pushed on, so those who fell into these online spaces are disproportionately raised male. Now that compounded with that socially distant and toxic men have fostered treacherous online spaces for two decades , vast majority of cis women wouldn’t go near it. Now the chances these cis women would be able to stomach reddit enough to find r/GenZedong and then be there to sign up on Lemmygrad pre quarantine is incredibly slim.

    Now interestingly enough most communists sympathizers in real life tend to be female–at least from my observations–so its really the form of media that filters into this demographic. Also take note, many Lemmygraduates (thats what we should call those who unlearned their liberalism lol) also have interests or careers in STEM, another heavily raised as male demographic.
