Ex. For this sub, if we can focus on LGB topics/issues. Maybe talk about the topics brought up in this thread(Sex ed., community, domestic violence, history, representation, etc.)

And similar for GC, I was kinda looking for a women-centric thread talking about women issues(without bastardizing ALL men as these evil tyrants because wow lol) and without talking about trans all the time. Maybe something that we as women can do to be more educated on certain matters and make a change or just simply talk about cool female representation?

Not a bad idea.

Tbh, I'm mostly a lurker as well. Not a "power poster". And can't really be as I second guess my own comments way too much, so my visible activity stays low. But I'm gonna do my best in getting some balance in here. Maybe posting LGB topics which counterbalance all the 'TQ bad' content. I mean, I'm pretty GC, so this'll be going against the grain, but it does get a bit tired when there's little break from it. And I've been on the receiving end what happens when people get too fixated on TQ stuff. They start attacking even those on their side. Not a pretty sight, but eye-opening.

Thanks. If you do posts some LGB threads, I'll be there to support it! I heard that they have a separate subsaidit called s/LGB. I'm currentky waiting for it to open up. I'd love to take a gander over there when I've had my TQ fill.

I was also thinking maybe this place might be able to help LGB people who are thinking of transitioning...because I have detransitioned, and have sympathy for (some) of them(depending on reasoning for transition). I grew up in conservative, religious, and sexist household and it was way of escape. Then I peaked when I left household pretty much. Realized I did not need to change myself in such ways. Never went through with surgery nor hormone. I have indepth comments about it elsewhere...I like some posts where they reach out to redditors too to let them know being LG or B is OK and they do not need to accept TQ theory.

But anyways, dealing with TQ is quite exhausting and it sucks that you had to deal with people who were to fixated with it. Similarly, I deal with TQ in my real life on the daily: my terrible, condenscending boss happens to be MtF, my co-worker friend buys into TQ theory, my previous jobs my coworkers bought into TQ and I felt indifferent.

I mostly post topics in GC tbh. Particularly looking for...advice. I agree with most of their views, but don't agree with some OR how they go about it. But that might just be the loud minority saying the awful things and not really GC itself. I'm still a bit new with GC and LGB. Never really followed communities/groups or considered myself part of anything. Found myself to mostly be an outsider observer, listening and learning.
