At what point do you call yourself a trans elder? I'd like to know everyone's opinion on the matter. Trying to determine if I really am a trans elder or not. Thank you.

There is nothing wrong with not wanting to educate because of a lack of energy. Nor there is anything wrong in not wanting to interact and spend effort on new members of the community, to strip all the baggage of harmful ideas.

Many of us can barely find time to educate ourselves, let alone educate others.

Eche says that she doesn't feel safe in here as a GNC, we will respect and validate it. And we won't risk harming Eche to educate more beings. We're positive Utilitarians, we reduce suffering, then try to increase well-being.

If we tried to educate new members at the cost of 1 member, we would've created suffering for that 1 member, and stripped away well-being from them, and created well-being for the new members. That would be wrong in a positive Util perspective. We would strive to reduce suffering, and increase well-being.

Tl;dr: we want a community that is modded without risking the safety of existing members to bring in new members. And/Or to risk the safety of some members, in order to educate others.
