I dunno if this is the right place for this, but I was curious. I joined Beehaw during the Great Reddit API migration, a few years ago at this point. I couldn't put a finger on why but I wanted to join a queer-friendly space. It just seemed like a good place to be, somewhere that seemed to have goals of inclusivity and being kind to one another that I thought sounded good. I wanted to belong somewhere like this place seems to want to be.

Then, years later, in Nov of 2024 my egg absolutely shattered and I came out to myself as trans. Then I just realized this morning that the timeline is kinda funny to me. Thought I'd ask and see how common that pattern was.

Hold up, I'm not gay. I just got sick of reddit assholes and I don't particularly care what you all do with your plumbing in your free time.

I only ever wanted a space where I can freely post humorously (and apparently inappropriate) pictures of Helen Kellers' beloved cat 'Mittens'. The search continues it would seem.

Beehaw isn't just for queer folks, nobody's gonna force you to be a lesbian or trans your gender, it's just that Beehaw is a space that is explicitly pro-queer folks.

I am confused as to how cat photos could be inappropriate but ok. Hope you find somewhere to call home in the fediverse :-)
