I wish I knew you all IRL, but knowing you all exist does make things better. This place is my island of sanity too, and while it saddens me that we feel so few sometimes, I think the discussions are better here as the community grows organically and by word of mouth.

I think this place has the right balance. We have a wide variety of experiences. We’re not all from the west. We have LGB people of all ages. We don’t agree on everything but we don’t need to because we’ve basically accepted that there is no inherent ideological belief system to being gay or bisexual.

I hope a contingency plan is in progress in case saidit goes down. Whoever it was that commented that the lack of downvotes is optimal, I wholeheartedly agree. Thank you mods for all that you’ve done in creating and maintaining this community.

There is Ovarit as an option in case something does happen to Saidit in the future. Feel free to message me if you want an invite code. I have plenty to give out. It is female focused (not female only) and you don't have to be totally radical feminist to join. Just gender critical or leaning in that direction.

Same. I've become so paranoid of daring to try to make new friends offline. Granted, I never had much of a social circle to begin with but ever since I became Gender Critical and seen how much people bend over backwards, especially other gays and lesbians, I've been so scared to even try to make new friends. Because of this, this site has been a godsend because it showed me that there are other LGB people who don't buy into Trans BS.
