Transphobic language,

Yes I alerted, and it stood.

That happens every time. It would be nice if minority issues we not subject to community standards, because we have a way to go before our own community sees our Trans sisters and brothers as equal.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.

Tell me more...
