Thanks for asking and being considerate, but I’m off. So there’s no real need to be more specific here, but this isn’t too different to how I’d have responded to similar exchanges well before my transition. The transphobe won in the end, they can stop reading about the most wonderful journey I’m having. I hope they find a resolution to their bitterness. I thank YOU, Bacon for all of your breakfasts and more so for reaching out earlier in the year when reddit went cold. It’s not personal, I just leave places when I stop enjoying them and I’ve stopped enjoying this place.

Also, I do understand that I’m probably in the wrong today, I’m happy to admit that emotional outbursts are not commonplace here and the mood is generally pretty light. So apologies to anyone who took offense. It’s difficult being marginalised and that didn’t begin with being trans, I’ve been teased for one reason or another most of my life. Too smart, ginger, alternative, queer, small, outspoken, activist and now trans. I’m kind of used to it, it’s made me resilient and to know when enough is enough also. I’ll miss some of the people and wish everyone the best honestly and I hope I haven’t discouraged anyone from being good to my community. I am an active member of a group who only want good outcomes for us all and my volunteer work has had tangible results today. I’m not upset or annoyed, but there are descrepencies in the way bigotry is dealt with online. It’s definitely very less of an issue on this forum.

So long, and thanks for the all the fish.
