Hey...Nice to see you too. Does the community on Discord know about our new debate sub on Saidit? We've been trying to rebuild the old group on here but it's currently so small. So many people I miss talking to. Would be nice if we could get more of the old crowd to migrate (I know here are some problematic things about this site but I haven't seen many right-wingers wandering into the debate sub).

I probably should try to come into Discord more often as well, it doesn't run very well on my computer so I get annoyed with it.

Awww. I'm pretty sure they know it's up, but maybe you should head over there and try to drum up some cross platform discussion :-) discord really is not the best for dialogue and discussion

Out of curiosity, does saidit as a whole have much of a trans presence?

Yeah Discord reminds me of when I used to chat on IRC years ago which is fine I guess but not really the same as our discussion/debate group.

I don't know about the trans presence on Saidit as I only read GC and GCdebates. There are a couple of transmed typed in the debate group but it's even more heavily tilted GC than the old one. I don't think anyone in the group will actually defend queer theory positions which is an obvious problem. I don't know how we attract them (or truthfully if I even would want to as I'm kind of done going back and forth with actual TRAs). A few more moderates/transmeds would be good though.)

Awww apparently you're on one of the GCdQT discords, and have been pinged! But u/Mr_dork (how do you tag people here?) also misses you and wanted me to play telephone :p He had some really nice things to say about you, you should hop on and see them but basically that you're like, his life goals male. <3

Yeah I suspect this sub on saidit.it will be an interesting discussion place, but a lot slower, with less TRAs to inspire good responses to. C'est la vie. Are you joining ovarit? I signed up the other day.

Aw, that's really nice of him to say. I feel much the same about him. He expresses himself really well. Much better than I often do I think. Please pass on my best wishes if you are talking to him. I'll try to go into the DC in the next couple of days and say hi to people at least.

Yeah I joined Ovarit yesterday but have only glanced at it. It seems like a nice site though. It seems like TRAs have gone totally scorched earth against GC which makes it hard to have real debate groups.. I feel bad for the more reasonable trans people who actually want to talk to us in good faith. Hopefully, our group here or some other space can be a place for that, assuming we can let them know about it somehow.

Do ping me when you finally get onto the discord! And yeah omg did you see this on twitter - https://twitter.com/lacroicsz/status/1288947357393059840 ?

It's... awful - epic - etc.

That really upset me to read. How could they read that and still say all those things about her? Some of these people are legitimately straight-up evil. As bad as it was for all of us to lose our subs I really still feel worst for the lesbians and detransitioners. they really need those spaces sigh. Can only hope this shit runs its course soon...
