Question here for the LGBTQ community and SW

Would it make sense to anyone esle to create a topic withint this category purely for trans issues/questions/chat?

Everyone's welcome, obviously, but it seems to me that the trans discussion has grown large enough and is important enough to merit its own area. That might allow a bit more room for other LGBTQ topics and chat. Or maybe it wouldn't make a difference at all one way or the other. I'm just curious at what others think.

Well, it sounds plausible, but I think the pervs would just take it over to share pics and do thier sex talking.

@calicuz I don't care what anyone does, but LGBTQ+ is an enormous umbrella. It's like grouping all males together, or saying all Native Americans are the same despite thousands of different tribes.

Fact is, even though I'm an ally, I have no need to be on trans boards much, hook-up boards or any channels specific to a particular group and culture. Mixing oceans is great, but it seems the topic of all things trans is popular enough to occupy its own place.

@Graylight

You're right. Go ahead and make the new group and see if it takes off.

@calicuz Don't believe I have the authority and power. But I was curious to see if anyone feels slightly (not badly) overwhelmed by the section being comprised of 65-70% trans issues. If not, then there's my answer.

I doubt it would take off, tbh. SW inherited some trans related topics from EP and they died off, in part, I think, because both the userbase and the format are less inviting/supportive then EP was.

As an ally I wish there was better ways to moderate conversations. There are some fuckheads here that would be ready to just torment people.

It’s always a pleasure to speak with like minded people.

There are several in the Associated Groups section.

@Jessmari Well, there you go. No idea what that section even is, but I'll check it out. Thanks!

Jessmari · 41-45

@Graylight I know it's easy to miss and it should be in a more prominent place. It's under the the group picture.

Graylight · 51-55, F

@Jessmari Excellent. I love finding new stuff.

I think it needs more moderation to keep it safer first.
but yeh I don't see why not at all.

Graylight · 51-55, F

@Gangstress True, that should be a priority always.

And just a general call-out to the men who do it: Please stop pretending to be lesbians or young women. It's obvious, it's really gross and it's never going to work without a criminal penalty hanging over your head. Please stop.

Gangstress · 41-45, F

@Graylight yeh its starting to get to me a little these men pretending to be lesbians, its really obvious too
