Aw thank you. I'm so sorry you've been going through hardships as well, it's just not fun at all but I think the main thing that really makes this so much worse is that the places that people like us used to be accepted in are no longer like that anymore because they've swallowed trans dogma hard time and they'll oust and ostracize anyone who doesn't follow the cult-like mentality. It's just terrible... But yeah it's great that this is one of the very few places where people like us can feel safe in so I'm grateful for that. It's just that online can only do so much and you're gonna eventually want to speak with people in real life you know?

Yes, I totally understand you, believe me. I'm dying to have some irl gay friends, but in my degree it's basically 90% mostly straight men and the other 10% it's women, majority straight as well. It's not an "easy environment" to meet lgb people such as with an arts degree for example.

Hang in there <3

I'm assuming you're also in STEM and in my experience there are actually a lot of LB women, we are just largely somewhat closeted in the work environment as many professors don't even truely accept women in that environment.

Yes, I am lol. That's great to know! I have thought about that before, but it's just so few of us that I don't meet that much women to know... And yes, at least I don't feel very comfortable to be out due to the environment. I know that in another environment, namely with more women, it would be much easier.

I can imagine lol But I mean at least you don't have to deal with gender extremists because those people tend to be all over the art world... lol And I'll try :)
