Honestly, I think part of the appeal of the community to me is the fact that so few give a shit about treading on eggshells about trans shit. Sure, I like people using the right pronouns, and I prefer not being called slurs, but here there's no false pretenses. People who don't believe in my identity aren't going to pretend to do so because polite society says they need to do so, they're only going to if they genuinely see me as a girl. There's no impetus for them to keep up appearances.
And I mostly just want to have fun at events and meet new people, and I can handle people going "nice name, you a tranny?". It inspires confidence. Because I can be like, "hah, yeah." and realize that shit doesn't define me. I honestly wish I was more resilient to slurs and misgendering, because I'm going to get plenty of it in the real world. I can do that here. And like other anons said, it's probably barely a problem. People have less balls without the mask of complete anonymity.
Sorry to derail the thread everyone.
