Other comrades have been leaving the site for various reasons because of the atmosphere and such lately, particularly transphobia- both from raids from outside, and latent transphobia that many among us seem afraid to confront within themselves (self-crit is good), this post is @Dirt_Owl saying that they won't be. Lately there have been many "i'm leaving" posts, so only seeing that absolutely doesn't feel good. I imagine Owl posted to help folks remember that while some are going it's not the death of everything, and that we're still here. And I think that's good, because I'll be honest the flow of users leaving was starting to take it's toll on me, and this post was nice to see
I'm glad you're staying Owl :)
And, fwiw, I'm not going anywhere either :heart-sickle:
I just hope it doesn't look like I'm shitting on people for leaving, because they have every right to not have to put up with transphobes being shitheads.

Not to me, at least. I'm glad you posted it, I've been kinda dooming a bit and needed a reminder that this site is damn sure still worth fighting for.
