Comparison of challeged lives

[Irenes]

Hi! It is our first post here. This thread is really thoughtful and expresses a lot of truth, and kinda made us want to participate.

We feel like it should be possible to advertise plural spaces in the outside world. There's a certain trick that we're not entirely sure how to reproduce, but seem to have managed over on Twitter, of kinda projecting "this is real, we don't care what you think, we're crazy so you aren't going to get anywhere by arguing with us" while actually talking about building safe spaces, understanding intersectional issues, and other stuff that most of our mutuals get a lot of hate mail for, which we've managed to avoid so far.

Or maybe we just haven't been visible enough to attract negative attention. That's a depressing thought. We agree with several of you up-thread that community-building is the only way we're ever going to have a political voice, and are personally determined to make it happen, because ... nobody else is going to.
