Hi, I’m Yuki I work with Arisu on a transid wiki (transid.org). I made some anti MAP comments when I was new to the community. I bought all the antiMAP propaganda I had heard growing up. I have now heard mumbling that in the 70’s MAPs were there, maybe one of them threw the first brick at Stonewall. Who the hell knows for sure. Just like how that brick throwing has been retold so many times I think the MAP story has been erased. Why did homosexual used to also mean MAP?

I don’t want there to be a fucking radradqueer movement and transid2 (transid3 if you count transx) for everyone to be accepted. Just as the gays threw away the transgender people at some point. Well now the acronym commonly is at minimum lgbT unless someone is very bigoted. I think it is time MAPS got some rights. It feels like a witch hunt. You all should be able to talk about your orientation. I’m not going to get into contact stuff other than to say I’m not going to force a contact stance on anyone. The only thing I will say is I don’t want to risk that wiki going down so stuff needs to be legal under US law. I’m not a lawyer I have no idea what Arisu was talking about Nevada law and some test. The rules on the wiki might be the same there I need to learn what the hell that means.

Also spending a lot of time with a chrono teenager and both being affectionate has been really nice lately :). We keep making maps in a game to explore, they were the one eager to show me the date spots they made in game. Talking to my friends and that teen, I admire, made me no longer afraid of the map community and less afraid of myself.

Again I’m sorry. No one should be denied rights something that is a part of them, their identity.

    It’s okay, I was also heavily controled by anti-MAP propaganda. It really doesn’t matter what you thought in the past. we should focus on helping people now

    I think a lot of us were in that boat at some point! All that matters is how you feel and what you believe now. No one can change the past just the future 😄
