I remember being kinda terrified by TC69 in the beginning, partly because I was a lib and also because I was worried the new pronoun thing would mean I'd be forced to use male pronouns on the site, which... uhhh... bothered me, for some reason. lol. Now, however, I am fully indoctrinated into the TRANS AGENDA and clearly see the benefit that upholding TC69 thought brings to the site.
Also, I remember feeling a sense of happiness and hope whenever I'd log into the site and I'd see BrookeBaybee's latest I LOVE MY TRANS COMRADES post. When the rest of the world and humanity seemed so horribly shitty, it was heartening to see one person who dedicated time every day to making sure strangers on the internet feel loved. 
I still think about this pretty often, to be honest.
Earlier this year, when my egg shell was still yet unbroken, there was screenshot someone posted of the Onion headline about a trans ally coming out as trans. Seeing it... Gave me some thoughts, and I posted a comment hinting that maybe the headline was something I identified with. Cromalin responded with some kind and helpful advice about possible next steps and reading it made me feel a little more comfortable with what was going on in my head, and a giant crack appeared down the middle of my egg shell. Months later I fully came out as trans.
I'm very grateful to these people for their positive influence on the site and I hope they're all doing well right now.
