Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Damn it feels like every other rant on here is like this.
Such a shame, my own parents were super transphobic as well and threatened to disown me too when I was a kid and would spend all summer saying shit like "transvestites dont live to 30" and calling all LGBT folks "non-people" to my face.
All that after they outed me when finding one estrofem in my bag. LOL!
I'm 10 years out from all that now. Independent, healthy, working, got surgery - I'm happy. Now they wonder why I don't write much. But I was able to forgive them over time, as well.
Stay strong ๐ช
