RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

MODERATORS
On the most basic level it is a criticism of feelings over facts. The reason the right seems so guilty is they operate in a fact free zone that is comprised entirely of their feelings.
People struggle with who they are. This is a fact of life. It sounds like the girls you talk about are all struggling with their feelings and the feelings of their culture, friends, and probably family.
Your friends are struggling and for this reason they may not make the best Allies. You dismissing them as virtue signaling doesn't help the situation or your understanding what they are going through.
The truth here is you are the Ally that has to support them if you choose to. It is a tough and thankless job. I have spent years supporting people to have them come out and then go back. That is just life and commitment to family and society can be too much for some people.
