DailyDi Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Trans-women are real women Trans-men are real men Transgender is a real thing. Trans-people are welcome here Anyone who disagrees with that is required to keep it to themselves while on this board.

I just woke up, so I haven't seen the drama. (Though I assumed this was a response to something) I'm happy you edited your post to include trans-men. 4 Link to comment

It may be true that the law cannot change the heart, but it can restrain the heartless." There's a quote that doesn't get used enough, and this echoes that sentiment. Well done. 7 Link to comment

Rachael-Little Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 This should be a safe place for all, far to many other sites just are not. We should all do our best to care and love each other and we will all be better for it 3 Link to comment

Which is probably a GOOD thing. Riley is this person @Protection? she was also featured on my strange addiction, which is a TV show that came on 10 years ago.

I find it INCREDIBLY interesting that ONE of the admins themselves is VERY transphobic. Well, at least according to Riley, to hear her tell it. I would have never suspected that an admin, of ALL people would have that sort of problem. Usually it would be one of the users on here, but I guess not.??????? Link to comment

What you are advocating for is literal thought crime, and is thankfully impossible to enforce with current day technology. Like Mikey mentioned above, it is impossible for someone to make trans-individuals or other LGBTQ+ people uncomfortable if they keep it to themselves. Since you'd literally never know they had such views. 4 Link to comment

Pampertimmy Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 I think this is a great statement. Everyone should feel welcome here. It’s hard enough trying to accept being ourselves without anyone telling us who we should or shouldn’t be. For the most part, this has been a good, safe place to come to share and enjoy being someone who isn’t really understood in the world. Acceptance and the willingness to to be open to who we are is key keeping this a safe community. That’s enough adult talk for me. Going to play with my blocks now. 4 Link to comment

To say keep your thoughts to yourself from now on, is not enough. If those who spoke, do not amplify the message that this site wants to represent, then they need to be banned. Banning people for inappropriate behaviour is NOT the same thing as being the thought police. 3 1 Link to comment
