As a little bit of context, a lot of trans people (rightfully) view HN as a (white)-male dominated place, and feel misunderstood and misheard by the people here. A common defense tactic is to become _more_ sexually overt and grotesque than they actually are in reality.

A lot of the other thirstposting is, from my experience, very much genuine and heartfelt.

The trans community is often quite open.

I'm personally transgender, monogamous and mostly lesbian, so I'm a bit of a "boring" outlier when it comes to the poly & kink communities. But I spend a LOT of time in trans spaces. Online and offline. Professionally and casually. Younger and older. Political and friendly.

Etc

I just love this, thanks. A good reminder.

Nothing wrong with NSFW content per se, but you cannot justify potentially exposing children to pornographic content as a "coping mechanism", it wouldn't be accepted by any court for sure.

[azeirah]

I completely agree.

[fennecbutt]

Idt it's defensive, at least not for my trans friends. I'm a gay dude and I think it's just that the queer community is a lot more open about that stuff in general, which contrasts greatly with straight people, especially Americans.

There’s a fine line between ‘open’ and ‘perverted’.

[jncfhnb]

Perverted is just some other person being judgmental.

[fennecbutt]

That line is shared with the one of "none of your business"

[azeirah]

Yep. That's why I'm openly talking about moderation and why I'm very much in favor of an NSFW filter.
