Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I still don't truly know if I'm included in the LGBTQ+ community. (hexbear.net)

[CW: Mentions of Bigotry Such as Racism, Transmisogyny, and Enbyphobia]

I am:

black
transfeminine
non-binary

The LGBTQ+ community has a large portion of people who are:

racist
transmisogynistic
enbyphobic

When I see someone say something like "I support the LGBTQ+ community," I am not able to be convinced that this person would not be a bigot to me.

It seems to me that this pride month will still have much shame for me.

Not everyone who is part of any community aggregate is a good person. But, out there (especially in the age of the internet) are still enough folks who can help support and bring out the best self that you want to live as. And it's in those people that you cherish and cherish you back that you find your chosen family and with it, the serenity that comes with belonging as your best self.
