Hi! I decided to come back over here. I miss Snarky too along with MrFahrenheit. It still makes me mad that the subbreddit was banned when we had so many interesting people. I hope Snarky is ok because that situation was really scary.

Hey, good to see you!

Snarky still posts on Reddit. I just looked up his profile, and his last post was 11 hours ago.

u/MrFahrenheit46 is on Saidit and I believe on Ovarit too under a different name.

At least some of the regulars are still around! I remember when someone posted a genderdifficult board, but sadly I don't think it ever took off!

r/genderdifficult and r/gendertroubles are still around, but not super active.

HI WORRIED!

Barbie! It's awesome to see you. I didn't think you were on Saidit.

Welcome to the new sub. It's a little quieter than the old sub, but we're still going along.

I literally just made this account to say hi to you tbh :P

Looks like there's so few regulars here...it really didn't survive the transition (ba dum tss), did it?

[–]worried19 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

I hope you'll stick around!

We do still have a fair number of our regulars, although some of them are going by different names:

I mostly hang out on Ovarit now, but I still come by here on a regular basis. We have more of the GC crowd, but a lot of our old trans and QT posters are missing. Masks/Circling was here for a while, theoryofthis, tailcalled, PorcelainQuetzal (I forget her Reddit name), peakingatthemoment, and Elly are here.

Awww, I probably won't really start engaging the actual topics, tbh...I'm active on Discord, and occasionally chat in some debate-related servers, but only to socialize. I don't even know what I'd argue, looking at these topics...I was never very QT, but these days it's even more true. I'm even dating a straight woman, which I think is probably breaking a trans rule somewhere? Not full GC either though, so ¯\(ツ)/¯

Took a quick glance at Ovarit after seeing it mentioned here, but I'd assume that's not a debate space so much as a venting space?

[–]worried19 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Well, don't be a stranger. We do still have threads just to chat about random stuff sometimes.

I'm even dating a straight woman, which I think is probably breaking a trans rule somewhere?

Ha, now you're a major dissident. I'm glad you're doing well. How's your dog? I think you showed me a picture once. Do you hang out on Reddit much? I'm still there, but mostly on r/antikink.

Ovarit is way more political. There's a lot of venting, but it's also a good place to share news stories and have discussions. I try to be a voice of moderation there, but most of the posters are very hardcore GC. I mean, I'm GC, too. After the banwave, I guess I got more "radical" if you can call it that, but I haven't lost hope for compromise. I really still wish both sides could get along. I tend to see the TRA movement as toxic, but not all trans people are part of it. Some of the most toxic people are actually not even trans themselves. It's a fight against ideology, not individuals. At least that's how I see it.

I can try to pop in occasionally =] I miss folks like you and a few others. I do still see Elly though! We hang out at least every Saturday night, pretty much, since they ended up in one of my social groups. MossWolf is also a close friend of mine that I talk to every day, anddddd oh god what was her name...there was one GC woman that I can't even remember her Reddit name anymore, but I'm still in the friend group IRL that she brought me into. And there's a handful of others I still talk to on Discord!

Ha, now you're a major dissident

Man, when she first met me she was just like, YAY A WOMAN WITH SIMILAR INTERESTS, LET'S BE FRIENDS! But then I started catchin feels and she started describing her dream guy during a conversation one day and I was like HMM SOUNDS KINDA LIKE ME ACTUALLY, and then things spiraled wildly out of control from there. It's a whole story.

My dog Carson is good =] He's just a sleepy boi. I don't really post on Reddit anymore, I just browse and lurk on the more mainstream subreddits.

Re: Ovarit

Hmmm gotcha gotcha. I've more or less just backed out of the scene entirely, and other than my recent dating experience I haven't usually given much thought to trans/GC stuff anymore.

Oh, I remember MossWolf. Don't forget to invite people here if any of them are interested. We can always use more posters.

Glad things are good with you. To be honest, it's probably a lot healthier to back away from the whole political fight. It's like a constant up and down. One minute there's progress, and it feels awesome. And then the next, there's some horrible news that makes me feel sick for the rest of the day. It's like a roller coaster. I'm not sure it's healthy to be so involved in it. At the same time, it's hard to look away. I feel like it's important, but it's also stressful.
