It’s still up, with like 7 or so downvotes and one response from a “gay transman” (so a straight woman) that said something to the effect of she’s glad I don’t consider myself punk anymore and that I should feel bad about “repeatedly breaking rule 5,” which bans transphobia. She also asked why I was even posting on the thread. I would have responded but she appears to have blocked me.

Anyway, I’m a little disappointed overall with the response. If I was banned or even mass downvoted, that I could understand, but at least if I was going to be mildly ignored, I was hoping I’d at least get some DMs in support of me, as I know there are a lot of people in punk who have to have experienced what I have. Feel like I’m the crazy one even though I know the punk community is burying its head in the sand over this particular issue.
