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.

Yeahhh they know about it, I think most of them have just moved on as well.

I feel like I'd be more motivated if it was actually in my face more, but it never really shows up in my life unless I seek it out, so...for my life personally, it's really easy to make it an "out of sight, out of mind" sort of thing

But I do miss some of the peopleee and the discussionsss, from back in the dayyyy

I bet it would have become hella active during Covid if it hadn't been shut down, too
