Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
it also shouldnt be such a pain in the ass to legally change ur name. like, im not gonna do that bc im entering a "professional" career (im a PMC karen, ik) and i dont want something as banal as a name change to complicate that. also, i really dont get dysphoria from my name, especially since its very easy to have fem nicknames for it. but yeah, it should be commonplace to pick ur own name if you want. personally, i just like not having to make that decision
