/c/twochromosomes explains its name with the following:
The name XX was chosen just because it illustrates the essence of this subreddit and its target Redditors–girly and geeky, and subtly awesome.
Connecting girliness with a genotype and bragging about being cisgender is not my idea of what the solarpunk movement stands for. This is gender essentialism and subtle transphobia. And the beginning of the community and of SLRPNK is the perfect time to be getting rid of transphobic names.
Admins, if you are reading this, please remove this transphobic community.
Everyone else, do you know how I can get in touch with the SLRPNK admins?
Pinging the instance admin: @poVoq
I’m cismale, and only here to lurk the anarchism community, but FWIW I agree with @HardlightCereal. If you don’t want the community/instance to be welcoming to TERFs, it’s important to be consistent about that.
EDIT: Missed that the admin had already commented here. Still, please turn 2X into a signpost for something with a less TERFy name.
