Something I've noticed...

I dont think a group of recluse anime/manga fans have any right to judge any lgbt supporter. Cmon, were pretty much in the same boat. Except there gays are our nerds and geeks.

Now that I think about it there indeed has been a surge of trans men and women on MaiOtaku. In my case, I joined the site after quietly lurking around the forums and discovering just how affable everyone was. There seems to be a lot of lovely people here. The openness of the community reeled me in. I suppose one of the main reasons I'm open about being transgender here is because at the heart, MO is a dating site. I feel as though people should know who I am before deciding to send me a message, that way I can 'weed out' the trolls from those who actually have in interest in engaging in a pleasant conversation with me. Being a furry and all, I've gotten a lot of pointless flak over the years and as such I've learned how to either ignore it or avoid it. Of course, negative comments will still hurt me deep down but I try not to let them get to me as much as they used too. I think being open about things helps with that. I don't need to make excuses or anything. This is who I want to be; This is who I am, and I want the world to see me as such. Don't hide it, flaunt it.
