This community is housed on an instance run by two trans women, focused on the needs of the queer and gender diverse community.

We allowed 196 here because we were promised the community is queer and trans inclusive.

If you're here it's because you're aggressively supportive of trans folk. Not middle of the ground, not "just asking questions".

If your response to that is, "yes, but..." then this isn't the instance for you, and by extension, this isn't the community for you.

tl;dr - Unambiguous support and inclusion, or fuck off somewhere else.

Edit - I changed the phrase "aggressive support to "unambiguous support", as there was some confusion over the intent behind my previous phrasing.

It's good to be weird. Weird means not normal, not mainstream. I find not weird to be boring. So bring on the weird!

So with you on this, as a weird person I would not change anything even tho it sometimes presents challenges. Found a weird bf too and I'm in heaven

Right on. It's good to be in the minority, to be different!! It would be boring and if everyone were the same.

I have ADHD so there are always more people not like me than like me (unless I'm in a ADHD club or something lol). I could say I'm weird. But also I'm a different kind of normal. Who decides what is or isn't normal anyway right?

Anyway... The problem isn't being unlike some majority group. The problem is the fear and hatred and ignorance.

When it comes down to it we are all human.
