Same, I chose Beehaw in particular because of its stance on providing a bigotry free platform… that being said as a federated service you have many options for a “home instance” but if you still want to interact with a community on another instance you will still be subject to that communities and instances policies. As a lot of people like yourself have chosen Beehaw for its safe space nature, you may miss out on communities you would feel welcomed in if you were to completely swear off Beehaw, although you do have the freedom to choose that.

Steven universe is a gem of a show… weird to say I still tear up at the thought of some of the songs in that show.

In some areas, there aren’t even enough allies in medicine… that being said, though, you will sometimes find them where you least expect. Even had an old primary care physician, in my very conservative state, who clocked me as a somewhat closeted trans/nb and shared that unlike his colleagues in the same medical practice he was an ally. One who had previously cared for a trans patient in the past too. Just a reminder that there are tons of good ones out there too. 💟

Beehaw seems pretty dope
