Don't get me wrong: You're a free (wo)man and able to do what you want. But IIRC you came out as transgender(?), and OPA doesn't seem like the place that would go over well. I dunno why anyone would post there with that sort of "hate." Then again, same for the subreddit thing.
I'd always had a certain assumption about who they (OPA) were and how they act, but given that I'm now asking people to give me a chance based on who I am, not what their first impression or expectations or assumptions might be, I figured it's only fair for me to do that in return. I'm only a casual visitor over there, but in the small amount of interactions I've had, there's actually been a lot of people who have been willing to give me a chance and give me some level of respect. Sure, there are people over there who seems to really dislike me (either because of me me, or what I am), and it's certainly not a place I'd say is friendly to everyone, but they aren't the evil, horrible trolls I probably assumed they were at some point.
And, really, I myself wouldn't lump them together with the folks in that particular subreddit. I think that's a whole different beast.
Hi shidoshi! (Check your PM's)
I guess, maybe, I'm not allowed to use PMs? I have one from back in 2010, but that's it, and I tried to send one and now it doesn't show up in my Sent folder.
Edit: Okay, WEIRD, as soon as I post that, I'm getting PMs showing up in my box.
