Can we have an honest, balanced, down to earth discussion about feminism?

Oh, God, you have no idea how nice it is to finally meet other trans people who aren't all caught up in the feminist extremism!

Don't worry, I'm sure I'll find other ways to irritate you. ^_^ I didn't know it was such a problem, isn't where I live (that isn't to say none of it is here, just it's not contagious).

I was part of a few online groups that had started out fun enough, but they started moving more and more feminist, starting out fairly moderate. I can handle moderate feminism; I can talk about it and discuss it and everything. Then it kept moving and evolving and getting more and more extreme. At this point, I'm dealing with people who will openly say they hate men just for the sake of being men and I think I've reached the point where I just want to move on with my life.

I once tried to get into several trans groups online... just couldn't get interested with them after having been here so long

Dunno why anyone would hate all men, for any reason... if I was one to brand a whole group on a few individuals, I'd probably hate men. And women. And dogs. And artists. And hookers. And lollipops.

I don't need trans support anymore and I don't want to be associated with extremists like that. As of a couple of days ago, I finally up and ditched them and here I am, trying to move on with my life.

I'm sorry to hear that... but I'm gladdened that you feel secure enough to go forth without trans-community support and resources.

Wish the interesting people wouldn't leave the community, but that's what friendship is for, silly me
