I believe cele are referring to the URL of the community being mtf. This community was initially created during the third-party apps exodus from reddit. I created it to function similarly to r/mtf on reddit. Early on in the community's history I held a poll and decided to rename it Transfem. It's been called that ever since.
Transmedicalism is banned in this community, and I believe on lemmy.blahaj.zone more broadly. All transfeminine people are welcome here and anyone creating hostility towards transfeminine people will be subject to moderator action.
Edit: Ammended pronoun
That's not really what our friends had noticed, though yes it can cause some harm on noticing, or to use such language which we understand why they do but it has hurt us and our friends to see it used in many places and communities online.
Yeah, we get that, but what some consider transmedicalism may differ from what others have found to be transmedicalist, that's not a slight against any here, just explaining that it may be a different perspective.
By the way, if the "they" is referring to us, our third perspective pronoun is cele not they, just so you know.
I have edited my above comment to use cele, thanks.
Thank you!
