On a kinder, more positive note, a lot of these Discord servers with ID checks are focused on connecting members of minorities, basically functioning as support + social groups. And that already exists! Usually for free! In person or online! Run by people with the tools and/or training to actually help you as well as keep you safe from both members and infiltrators who don't have your or the group's best interests at heart. Join a support group

#please feel free to ignore this #I was a member of a trans masc support(-like) group for a while and it was great #It helped me understand what I wanted from my transition process + how to handle it/what to do + b/c it was in person I got actionable info #on local trans-friendly organizations + medical professionals + specific locations of certain government offices #Like any organization they are not utopias nor does one size fit all #But they're vetted and held to way higher standards than a Discord server #Okay I promise I won't take about this anymore #People who weren't trans masc sometimes showed up and they were told that they could stay if the group allowed it #but they weren't allowed to interject/record/etc.#Depending on the day and the mix of people present some of them were absolutely kicked out
