As with anything in life, there’s a balance to be struck. I don’t like the idea of shaming people sharing their experiences with past partners just as much as I don’t like the idea of targeting someone and spreading life-ruining lies about them as an act of abuse.

The app, the whisper networks, yeah there’s a discussion there around whether they should exist or how they might exist in ways that don’t open the door to blatant abuse. But none of those users deserved to be doxxed and threatened for essentially trying to save others from potential pain.

I’m sorry you experienced that kind of abuse. I understand why you’re uncomfortable with these networks. I hope things are better now <3

    Society associates femininity with vulnerability. So, a woman who performs femininity better, who's gender conforming, is believed easier. I'm nonbinary and arguably butch. I'm big and strong. And she was soft and small... When you're a transfemme, being big and strong makes you vulnerable. Femininity is social power.

    Not feeling very good rn...

    hugs It’s a double-edged sword and I’m sorry it’s cut you. Everyone deserves to be respected regardless of how we present. Including and especially you because you matter.

    Be kind to yourself. We like you a lot around here.
