Hate? I think that term is too easilly thrown around. I've seen opinionated discussions but I've not seen any hate on the forums. Maybe I've missed it.
For me, this is the only place I can speak openly about the current events. I spend all day hearing coworkers, friends, politicians/elected officials, political parties running us in the ground, or using us as the target of jokes. I've seen anti-Crossdresser memes on some family member's Facebook feeds.
Maybe I do get a bit edgy when even this place has people defending those that want to bring us harm.
Recently, stuff in the outside world has gotten quite real. It's beyond just coming here to talk about a panty sale at Kohl's. I wish I could go back to those days but with the current situation, I can't ignore the real hatred that is being channeled at our community from outside.
