    I used to clean women’s restrooms when I was pre-transition / living as a boy / man, and I think that really helped reduce my stigma and fear of being in women’s restrooms.

    When I was visibly trans, I just made sure to use the restroom with other, supportive women - going in groups created a sense of protection.

    Where do you find these comics? I tried xcancel and tumblr but brooke2valley seemed to have stopped uploading last december.

    Is she still doing new comics and I missed them or are they from the archives?

          does she know about piefed or lemmy?

          I feel like the main online trans communities are still on reddit - not really sure why they haven’t moved off reddit, tbh

            i know she was on raddle, for a bit, after the reddit api stuff, so she certainly knows of reddit alternatives, and I think she was on mastodon for a time too, but she hasn’t posted there for well over a year now :(

              oh, I remember raddle - there was a big controversy because it turned out a single person was orchestrating complex drama and fights between different users that ended up just being a single person, which led to a betrayal of trust for some of the people who were helping host the servers, and there was a big question of whether that space could continue …

              I sorta walked away from raddle for a bit after that. It also felt smaller than lemmy (at the time anyway, I think this was before Lemmy was a thing), so I guess they’re not really comparable.

              It seems like a lot of people went to Mastodon and then didn’t stick around :-(
