kind of a cute sentiment. i didn't have such terminology in mind back in the day but i would've likely related to it a lot before it finally hit me that literally almost all the disgust and revulsion i had felt throughout my entire life toward myself had actually been gender dysphoria all along ._.
i just really really didn't want to believe that it was what it was
because being trans is hard and scary and i am weak and cowardly
and it could get me murdered by state sponsored domestic terrorists
or just the usual regular stochastic lynch mob...
or even just some random person who might snap and go berserk because they believe i shouldn't exist.
well ... hey, i believed i shouldn't exist for most of my life so ... i guess i get it x.x

Don't forget to look at the bright side. There are people who want, not only that you survive, but that you actually live your life (and one of those people is yourself ;)

Time for a new flag! Let's add polka dots!
(I'm joking, I think the flag gets stupider as stuff gets added to it. I understand what it represents, but as a piece of graphic design I hate the chevron addition)

Honestly i think it's useless the cevron even if it was not a cevron; the old flag was enough IMO

I’m a fan of the ally flag.

Don't you dare talk shit about the polish.
SnerkRabbledauber 5 points 20 days ago
But you are part the flag. I think of this as the unity flag. We are all on it.

Think of me as the pole, I'm straight and want you on top.

😂 that is kinda savage.
Axolotl_cpp 2 points 20 days ago
I love this
I hate that i did not found it before i discovered to be genderfluid lmao
phdepressed 22 points 21 days ago
Straight people still aren't part of the flag. We're not supposed to be and thats ok. Getting turned on by only the opposing gender is still straight.

Being tragically cishet and privileged is just the cross some of us must bear 🤷🏻

Community Rules
You must post before you leave
Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).
Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.
Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.
Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".
Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.
Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.
Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

**Moderator Guidelines**
Moderator Guidelines
- Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
- Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
- When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
- Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
- Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
- Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
- Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
- Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren't unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
- Don't rush mod actions. If a case doesn't need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
- Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
- Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
- Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
- First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
- Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
- No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
- Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
- Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
