I think it's great if users who can manage to donate or want to do.
Some of us can't or won't. Unless there's a paid subscription model I don't know how you could enforce something like that. People pay in to start ups that fail all the time and get nothing out of it. If you donate 100 bucks and the site disappears on day for any reason, then you're not getting anything back on your investment.
If I were ever to be able to donate, it'd honestly have to be pretty proven and clearly sustainable long term as far as quality content and stuff goes. I thought it'd be enough to some extent to contribute content and conversation since that's half the equation anyway.

If any of you had done any research on the guy you'd have found out that his viewpoints run against pretty much every aspect of what this site stands for. And that's despite the fact that everyone fell for his 'reasonable alt right guy' schtick.
As far as Wikipedia goes, I'd say that websites that provide the educational content they do should be kept free of any outside influence when it comes to money. An entertainment site though? I dunno.
If that's the one thing I sort of disagree with I guess that apparently makes me worse than an alt right guy masquerading something they're not. Running through that thread and thinking about the fact that I've gotten five messages attacking me over this is just kind of a head shaker.
Guess we're finding out who the attack dogs are going to be.

The number of trans girls I know who pass on site and then get misgendered once they speak but are unwilling to work on their voice is unreal. They get so upset but they aren't willing to put in the foot work. You could be super fem and very pretty but if you sound like a dude you're going to get referred to as one more often than not.
Facial hair removal is also a huge factor followed by mannerisms, style of dress, makeup skills, and how you walk. If you care about passing but don't put in the work you'll never pass.
I worked on voice and how I walked for prob 6 months prior to going full time and I've only ever been misgendered twice very early on when keeping the voice up 24 hours a day is tough because your neck muscles aren't strong enough yet, and once because I hadn't gotten my name changed on my ID and the guy who checked it switched to male pronouns on the fly.
Was lame because he was clearly interested up til that point.

My clothes were baggy (hiding ass and boobs), my hair was longer because I was growing it out and hiding a feminizing hair line transplant as it grew in.
I was already suicidal getting up and putting on men's clothes everyday, when my boss pulled me into his office and short of telling me to dress differently and get my hair cut explained that people like to buy from people who "look like them."
Came out right then and there because there was no fucking way I was cutting my hair, and I was at my breaking point after two years on hrt and not being able to live my truth. I got let go 3 months later over it but it was 100% worth it.

Way too many of these ventures fail eventually and you'll never see anything for the money you've contributed.
I feel the same way about businesses that short change their employees so the owner can making a living wage. If you can't afford your endeavor with the ability to pay your employees the wage they deserve, you don't deserve to own a business plain and simple.
If this site is successful it's not like the money you invested is going to generate a monetary return. That's all going in someone else's pocket and they're not going to share. Even in a non profit situation they can pay themselves whatever they want.
Users utilizing the website and building up content so the site is successful is the only contribution a user should ever have to make. There's the investment in the website imo.

Every single other guy I've talked to that I've...I don't know how much dating you've done online but in two years I've had one guy that just wasn't interested when he went back and read my profile.
Every single other guy I've talked to that I've liked has gone out with me at least once or twice. That one guy was out of probably 2000 I matched with, 500 I talked to at length, and 50 I went on dates with that just wasn't interested because I was trans.
If you're pretty and you pass straight cis guys will almost always go on a date with you, and they won't hide you like you're a secret either.
They always either say "well, I didn't catch that in your profile, and I had no clue from looking at your pictures, so I don't have any problem going out with you" or they say "I've never been with a trans girl but you're really pretty and I'm open minded. You just seem like a really cool girl to me." Then they ask how tall I am lol.
I've dated a few guys for little lengths of time and had a lot of like first, second and third dates. The guys who you hang out with a ton end up hitting this point, which I like to call "world's colliding" where it might be possible that you start randomly meeting their friends.
They get scared someone will know (they never would) and that they'll be considered gay, or whatever, and they just disappear or get distant and eventually fade out. Even if you were definitely becoming a thing and they were super into you.
Being desirable, passing, and not getting the benefits out of it is kind of the cruelest thing in the world if I'm being honest. You just start feeling like a sex toy or a throw away person even though the dating never starts that way. You also almost never find out what it was either.
I'm always like, aside from the pre op situation is there something else I'm doing that's bursting their bubble? Is it the stigma? Did I accidently talk out loud in my sleep in a deeper voice? Any of those things are possible and it sucks not really knowing, while feeling the pressure to be perfect because you're trans.
Dating sucks, but I feel like it especially sucks even for the most flawless trans girl. But good luck! I hope you have a better experience than mine. I wish a really masculine popular male celebrity would date a really beautiful known trans girl publicly. It'd seriously change A LOT. At least for girls that pass.

It's like "wow, I date a lot and whatever but this is what being pursued by a guy feels like to a cis girl."
It feels natural in a way online dating never really does and it makes it more exciting etc. like dating used to be. Especially if the guy's all confident and big, he's cute, and he's got game. Being pursued like your cis by real life guys who you're into is kind of the peak of my experience so far post transition. I feel like that sounds pathetic but it's true. The validation is pretty intoxicating and hard to deny myself.
I also always convince myself that there's no way they don't have some inkling and I'm always genuinely surprised when they tell me they didn't know.

Comment on Olney: Parts of baseball are disappearing before our very eyes in ~sports.baseball

There's not nearly as much underlying strategy or hidden drama to figure out, and all teams try to do is load up the bases and hit two run + home runs.
It's been like this in the AL forever, especially with my Detroit Tigers. Even when relying totally on offense to win games clearly isn't working season after season they still beat the dead horse. It worked the season they went to the world series and they've been trying to recreate it ever since.
I want to see a lot more small ball, balls hit certain ways for strategy and not power, base stealing, etc etc etc. I just like a more complex game I think. Home runs are cool, but you shouldn't bank your season on them regardless of analytics.

We were really into each other, hung out like 7 out of 14 days, made out like whoa, he's "letting everyone know" I'm with him, he clearly wants to fuck me bad... basically exactly what I want to a T.
So we ended up taking things further and I gave him a bj a couple times but wouldn't let him touch me below the waist. He finally pushed to know why and I told him. Asshole says "come over so we can talk about it I really like you but I never thought I'd be in this position."
So I go over, and he's super sweet. We do the whole sitting across from each other cross legged with the lights low sixteen candles style... I'm dying because I'm like "holy shit, maybe this will actually work unlike the other 30 guys I've dated in the past year... Maybe he's the first one who isn't a total pussy."
So I'm all warm and fuzzy, he makes a move and we sleep together for the first time. The night prior he'd been all sad puppy because I wouldn't spend the night, right? Well we're laying there naked after great sex and I go
"so, I'm sorry I wouldn't stay last nite but I'm totally down to stay tonite..."
Fucking asshole piece of garbage says
"I'm not really sure about how I feel about all of this and I need time to think."
I lost my fucking shit. I just cried and was like OMG I've never felt so taken advantage of and manipulated in my life, yada yada yada and stormed out. I'm literally more jaded from dating men for two years than I ever was dating women for the first part of my life...
Honestly I wish I was into chicks or other trans women but I'm just not at all. It seems like it'd be easier. Oh well.

My struggles are pretty gold plated and mostly involve men...
I only like to date straight guys so it's kind of tough. It sucks getting hit on and asked out only to have to eventually tell them and get dumped. It's pretty heart breaking when a guy is infatuated with you and it just ends overnight. It's a numbers game tho. Post SRS I think my luck will be a little better.
If you're stealth, and no one can "prove" you used to be male I think straight guys are just more comfortable with trans women that have vaginas. I'm also not interested in someone who's into girls that have a penis. It might be transphobic of them, but I get it. I never want to be treated as anything other than a straight female and want a guy that prefers vagina.

Ignorance is no defense when it comes to supporting things that intentionally hurt others with policies and legislation. The fact they can't even see that is literally the root of the problem when it comes to not recognizing privilege. If they were capable of that, or cared, they'd legislate differently. Which is why you have to surmise that while some may be truly ignorant, other are well aware and support those efforts regardless.
And as far as OP goes, I've found some questionable stuff that supports my idea that they're well aware of what they're doing.

For the love of God. Will Hollywood ever start taking chances on new IP's again? Same with the music industry. I feel like the lack of taking chances has forced my generation to adopt the last generations musical and movie icons, and I think it's kind of crappy.
