RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

It should be your choice what bathroom you use. Even if you "look like a man" but are a woman, you should be able to use the women's bathroom without being attacked. Same goes for men who "look like women", in their words. Also, if a man "looks like a woman" or looks feminine but says his pronouns are he/him and that he's a man, his pronouns are he/him and he's a man.

I feel like I'm preaching to the choir here, but I can't STAND IT. I'm a cis lesbian for crying out loud but at least I'm not like Arielle Scarcella or whatever the hell her name is.

It's a problem because there are perverts in sheep's clothing that hide under identity/gender and will go to other bathrooms as an excuse to perv on the opposite gender.

Would you feel comfortable if you were a woman and some creep of a guy with feminine-like features but still ultimately a guy, came in to the women's bathroom just to try and sneak peek for nudes?

I mean, if someone does that, it says a lot about someone. So not only are they a perv, but are they also into the idea of someone shitting and pissing? Technically I say you are, if you do this.

You know what, I get your point with some of these people. I don't think someone should be beaten up, though, for wanting to use the restroom of the gender they identify as instead of the one assigned to them at birth.
