A struggle session, a power poster, a 2020 Democrat debate, or anything that tickled your fancy… remind us all about it in this thread!

My favourite memory by far has got to be the ~week or so we spent speculating about the Silver Legion.

    Very sorry you had to put up with such abuse, and I’m glad you found your way here.

    There was a whole heap of transphobia and ableism directed my way when I joined

    This is referring to Blahaj, right?

    Instead of getting banned for being a minority and wanting rights, I changed minds.

      No, bears thought my gender was too silly and that it must be a conservative joke, and they said my mental disorder isn’t a disability and is okay to use as a pejorative on neurotypicals. This came from both users and mods. But I convinced the users to have a big long think about my mental disorder, and the mods believe in my gender now.

      I’m used to being treated this way. To me, a safe space is somewhere I can fight for my rights and have some impact over time without being called political or argumentative. I was called a wrecker at first, but it’s gone down since then.
