My post was too long so I had to post here: https://pastes.io/07p5nd9dxc

Edit: first correction to the paste, our trans community is represented far above the general population. Around 11% of our community is trans, while in the world only 1% of people are. I also only gave absolute numbers for some reason in the paste so here’s the percentage points: 10% trans women, 1% trans men, 7.7% nonbinary.

      BTW, I created a community for socialists who practice religions of Axé (Latin-American religions of African origin). The name is “Socialismo e Axé” (Socialism and Àṣẹ – a Yoruba word that represents the concept of divine energy/power). I originally made it in Portuguese because I think most people joining will be Brazilians, but feel free to join whatever language you speak. We can adapt.

      For those curious, the symbol are two axes which symbolize Xangô or Ṣàngó, the artificer, inventor of metallurgy and Orisha of Justice (which I take to be the one who would be a patron of fight for the rights of the working classes), together with the mandatory hammer and sickle. Axé for you all.
