Ok, I’m sure this isn’t going to be popular but it’s just my opinion since the door was opened …
I’m gay but I mention it only when it’s relevant to the conversation. I’m not a transphobe or any kind of ‘phobe, being a member of a group against which there is still a lot of prejudice and I dare say hatred.
However, though having said I’m gay it’s not my primary attribute. It doesn’t define me. If someone is gay or trans or asexual or whatever orientation or attributes it seems to me that they put that first and foremost.
To be blunt, it’s always an announcement and almost spoiling for an argument. If someone begins a conversation I’m interested in I respond. I really don’t care which letter of LGBTQAP+ they happen to be.
If people don’t respond it’s possibly and probably because they’re not interested in the subject. I think it’s a disservice and insult to people to assume they don’t engage because the original poster is LGBTQAP+ or whatever.
I’m sorry if that’s harsh it’s not my intent but too many people in the LGBTQAP+ group look fir ‘phobes under every rock.
It is the common factor of every piece of abuse I get-I almost wish they’d choose another attribute to take up arms against, for some variety.

What I don’t get is why things are going backwards so fast.
I have never known anyone like myself, we didn’t even have gays where I came from.
Evidently, either I am wrong or all of society. The majority is law.

I find the issue to be the same, regardless of who or where or how far. It is the same thing that gets me beaten in the streets and abused by NHS.
Some people are worthy of a life and others are judged to be not worthy.
The majority is law.

I have tried to connect many times with a great many and been bitten for my troubles.
I’ve been around here for more than a decade and seen things get worse.
Mirroring the general state I have seen far too close up IRL.
No offence, but I didn’t expect a response from anyone-going by experience.
Thanks to all of you who.

Or is it just that you don’t accept trans? After more than a decade where not a single one of you saw fit to talk to me, I wonder.

Blocking needs serious revision, it is the main reason I stopped using this site for a period-it certainly doesn’t make me feel that putting new content up would be safe here.

Looking for someone I can connect with about the issues of being trans and gay as well as to be able to appreciate that thin is not my preference.

Does anyone else just feel that they don’t belong here?
I’ve been here a long time, only really spoken to a handful of people in that time.
The last couple of years have seen a lot of health problems and in that time I needed friends, which I don’t have in the physical world, but have only found that I am nothing more than a belly to most.
It is a part of me, not the other way round.
I wonder what I’m doing wrong.

So how do we make this happen? Someone mentioned Discord, how about we start by actually talking to each other?
