    Have you expressed that you are of the female persuasion? They need to know you are before they feel the need to correct you. Otherwise youre just a guy to them and will be ignored beyond a stupid comment.

    Not all men but most men, and I say this as a NB AMAB.

      That’s the real clincher there. When someone even sees my clearly female name, I get mass downvotes on all my comments and posts.

        Yep! I’ve noticed women are more likely to get that. It’s really obvious. I’ve had incels follow me round lemmy making passive aggressive remarks… I honestly feel sorry for them, all that hate and anger can’t feel good for them. But they don’t do the work on themselves that they need to do, so they’re trapped with that anger eating them alive.

          Same, same.
