From a trans woman's perspective (mine), I think you'd be better off remaining and presenting as yourself. Both from a practical safety standpoint and a moral standpoint. Much of the legislation is targeted against trans women currently, so trying to present femme after going through such a long masculine transition will likely get you put in that bucket and put you in more danger. From a moral perspective, you should not have to hide who you are.

I think it's very valid to want to stop for safety right now. I've thought a lot about that too. Maybe you had the chance to be you for long enough, that you forgot just how terrible it was to hide before? I am not a passing trans woman, and although it's terrifying, even the worst days like this are better than most of my good pre- transition days.

Either way, make the choice that's best for you. We all have different degrees of support available and are facing varying degrees of threats (I'm in a blue state for example). Please be safe. If you ever need to vent or talk, consider my DMs open.

Hearing that Dan Snyder is miserable gives me life. Wallow in your own piss, you fucking creep.

If it's your rights. Fuck me if mine gets caught up in it, since it's "for the greater good". Right tankie?

Hey, we can both misrepresent why you're doing this. You're already doing a great job of it.

I feel like I'm in the waning days of whatever freedom allowed me to transition, and that I or people like me will end up as genocide statistics in a ravaged world. It's been hard to get up every day.

Unless you have neopronouns, obviously

You couldn't even stay on top of it here. You're leaving over an instance rule.

Imagine being such a pissbaby that you hold a community hostage instead of blocking someone that you struggle to engage with.

It's more that this change might allow that to stay or be non-reportable depending on the mod. It lends that form of content the air of legitimacy, even if refuted. They would likely cite this rule change if asked to stop. And it's just exhausting to have to see that. Maybe, in an ideal implementation, this won't cover that kind of lead and this form of harassment disguised as ignorance will still be removed. I'm just not that hopeful...

I appreciate that. This rule change in the face of what Meta is doing on Facebook has me wildly on edge.

Some could afford to leave, but we should encourage people to try and change things where they work. Abandoning or avoiding it isn't the only way. I read your comment to suggest that they shouldn't complain or try to get the policy changed back. It seems you were suggesting they should leave, even if they can't get an equivalent job. Does that sound right?

OP is Lt. Dan.
