I’ve decided to make a new rule: no posting negative news articles without a call to action or way to help. Many online queer communities (and ESPECIALLY trans, considering what’s been happening globally) are full of these articles. I get staying informed, and it’s important to an extent, but it also tanks our mental health to be constantly bombarded by them without any way to make things better.
There’s a place for those articles, but it’s not gonna be here.
Is this fair?
I did the same out of concern for my mental health. It’s unfortunate because online trans spaces are an invaluable way to share resources and support each other even if isolated IRL. Hope this community can be of help.
