So, with recent info about the crashing within the transfem YouTuber’s community given to me privately, I just need to know that the purpose of a trans community is to make everything happy and socialize, not to start a fight with somebody.

There was fighting behind the scenes and I know something will crash her and her management team down. I might stop subscribing to channel membership later on.

My advice for those who want to enter a trans community, check their background.

    The more i live the more i see that there is no “trans community”. Theres just overlapping social groups. Some are organized around communal friendship, some around praxis, and some around a single person. If a social group is not meeting the needs of its members it will disintegrate. And this is a good, if often painful, thing. Even within “a trans community” as you put it here there often grow informal structures and flows of power once it gets big enough (i.e. more than a handful of people). If its hurting you leave it behind. If you hold a position of informal power, find a way to democratize or disperse this power. Find other people around you in person to do things with, even if its just playing board games once a month.

      I participated in a D&D Discord Server and the owner removed me and one person to abide with the rules of another Discord Server.
