I don't believe for a second that over 60% are actual lesbians there.

"Cisgender women" does not mean lesbians specifically. And it is just survey. Accounts posting in different subs overlap is showing that transgender people there much more than anyone else: https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps/actuallesbians

As I am understanding from the description, this means that 55 times more users from /r/actualelsbians are posting in /r/mtf, 43 more times in /r/asktransgender, 40 more times in /r/egg_irl and 39 more times in /r/traaans than in most other subreddits and third or quarter of those numbers posting more there than in /r/askwomen. For every user of /r/actuallesbians who posted in /r/askwomen there will be at least 14 users posted in /r/mtf, 11 users posted in /r/asktransgender, 10 users posted in /r/egg_irl and 9-10 users posted in /r/traaans.

So "cisgender" women there should be a huge minority (at least judging by activity), and even among them majority seems to be just bisexual women.

Yeah this is the correct statistic to look at when trying to guess what percentage is trans. The answer is an overwhelming majority. More people in actuallesbians (55 times) are also posting in mtf than there's people from /lgbt posting in /trans (46). Seeing that /lgbt is already overwhelmingly trans... God. This is so upsetting.

Situation is sad: https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps/lgbt

At least AskGayBros are holding their ground: https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps/askgaybros - all top overlapping subreddits are about gay men or about men. Similar was with /r/truelesbians, who were overlapping with women or lesbian subreddits, unlike /r/actuallesbians, which is overlaps almost predominantly with trans.

Actually looks like all gay subreddits are still mainly filled with gay men: https://subredditstats.com/subreddit-user-overlaps/gay

While none of (not banned) lesbian subs is with lesbians. Ones that were filled with lesbians were banned.

Lesbian erasure started many ears ago, while grown up gay men (as gay boys are "transed the gay away") started being focused by trans activists only recently. So yeah~

We are fighting but /r/askgaybros is heavily under attack from women larping as gay men and they are incredibly aggressive.
