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.

I feel like I figured out my fate. (midwest.social)

Being a trans woman happily married to a cis woman living in the USA I feel like I am living the timeline of a character in V for Vendetta. I watched this movie innumerable in my youth, and it's always held a special place in my heart as I've aged and watched it every year on the 5th of November. Now that I'm coming up on my 3rd year watching it as a Woman and living a life with joy I didn't know imaginable, I can't help but reflect on the plot. But every time I do I have an immense out of body influence that I am the wife of the women jailed next to V who was rounded up and taken away first.... I have no intention of allowing that to be my fate and if it is my fate I'm oddly at peace with it cause I am finally living and seeing life in full color and at peace with my existence, but I had to get it off my chest, hope you are ok fellow human. :3

It's funny because there are so many LGBTQ people but also so many Muslims and it's basically a party city, not unsafe and with a good, friendly vibe. Like, I'm quite literally a Muslim immigrant recently married and I have two super chill, stoner trans coworkers who cook some mean food. The city is cool in my recent and incomplete opinion... rent is a bitch, though. 🤣
