i wonder if it seems that way because more nonconforming persons join or if it is because it's not heavily stigmatized to come out on here and so a lot of people who'd never talk about it are able to to. my job has me meeting a LOT of 'straight' and/or 'cis' people who are most certainly neither of those things and are more than ok talking about it to me once they figure out i am an ally and respectful of their personal agency(and yes, expressing yourself is a type of agency). assuredly on most of the sites i am on i am just some bloke who may (or in some situations may not) have a husband. the fact that i am ace and gender-queer and a semi-active part of the trans community(to the point where kids keep finding me for advice, haha) is almost never brought up and even then it's brushed off quickly


there is something to be said about a population of people who were raised to be quiet being quiet when they feel it is important to do so
