    You know posts like this annoy the hell out of me because people with this mindset put identity before character, and I really hate when that is somebody’s list of priorities.

    Before coming out as trans, people ditched me when I was mentally unwell. I’d done more than enough to prove the kind of character I have, but say one stupid blanket statement about women in a severe depressive episode, and people treat me as a dangerous man. This despite the fact that I’ve been open about how the women in my life to that point had either abused me, severely betrayed my trust, or both.

    Then I come out as trans and suddenly now the full context of what happened then is understood by others? It’s frustrating as hell and makes me feel extremely tokenised. Like wow guys, feels fantastic that I’m being judged by how I identify and not by the merit of my actions or the circumstances I’ve grown from.







  • I disagree with OP calling it fascism to ban it, but people here are forgetting Monero exists and the valid use cases a cryptocurrency like that can have.

    Not every cryptocurrency is a scam or a means to manipulate markets. If I’m in a country where I’m doing something objectively good, but still against the law, then cryptocurrency works if it requires finances to operate. See Sci Hub.

    Edit: Why was this top of my homepage, I’m just noticing this post is two months old lol.
