15. I don't post on DU often anymore

Mar 2022

But when I did I was a good “egg” who fought for trans rights tooth and nail.

I still fume at some of the stuff I saw back around 2016. That said, I also see stuff posted outside of DU that makes me feel ill. Which is why I chose the “DU tries” option.

It just feels like everything is backsliding and I will take any sanctuary in the storm I can get.
