IMPORTANT SITE REMINDERS ARE LISTED AFTER THIS RANT (so please read all of it in order to find the rules >:3)
On this mega I shall take the opportunity to rant about one of my favorite things: the Webnovel UNJUST DEPTHS!
Do you love transgenders?
Do you love communism?
Do you love queer romance?
Do you love killing fascists in a giant fucking mech?
Would a plotline with all of these things happening in a underwater retro-futuristic gundam setting intrigue you?
Especially if its actually really well written with good characters, rich worldbuilding, and a marxist leninist transfem author?
All of the answers should be: YES I DO ~~or else I WILL BAN YOU~~
Since you obviously love all of those things then Unjust Depths is perfect for YOU yes YOU! It is DESTINY
The Imbrian Ocean is at a time of severe instability. The monarch of the vast Empire that spans its unjust depths (:3) is sick and nearing death, every territory of the ocean now vying to carve their own Destiny out of the chaos. From the Volk fascists , Zionists (they literally will not die why are they still here oh my god), The 'Anarchists' (social chauvanists) in Bosporus, and the monarchs of each vast noble domain, each vies for power and prestige no matter who they crush underfoot, but it would be a pretty depressing story without a bright light in the dark.
On the edge of the Empire sits the glorious Union! The (Soviet) Union is a socialist federation of three states (and one anarchist mountain )that were formerly slave colonies under the Imbrian Empire until they broke away in a fierce liberation war. They have spent the last 20 years since then building themselves up. Whether they be Human , Shimmi (Catgirls who usually follow a religion closely related to modern Islam), and Kattaran (a hybrid humanoid species with characteristics of sea life ranging from sharks to cuttlefish)building socialism side by side.
First lead under the revolutionary leader Dashka Kansal, then the Idealist Ahwalia who lead the country to near ruin in pursuit of building a utopia on pillars of sand, then under the scientific socialist leadership of the Grand Marshall of the Union, Bhavani Jayanskar (I love Jayanskar so much shes basically as if Stalin, Lenin, and Zhukov were rolled into the same person but was a black lesbian badass who wore the uniform REALLY WELL)(she aint the main character at all tho shes only in very few scenes i just love her so much). Under Jayanskar, the Union has been growing their economy to both eliminate hunger and give everyone a home , but also growing their military capabilities for the inevitable return of the Empire. The Union is alone, but with the people by its side nothing, not even Destiny, can snuff out true freedoms light.
As war wages between the Empire and Republic (basically underwater USA) once more over the lands between them, the facade begins to finally crack...
And a border conflict between the Empire and Union escalate, and the dreaded reconquest begins.
Amidst this turmoil, lives our main characters (yes there are multiple and all of them are lovely). Each of whom I personally love dearly, and are very well characterized. Many are soldiers of the Union, some are scientists, some are divers (mech pilots), some are lost strands finding new meaning after joining this band of Brigands
All are Communists
All serve the Union
All would gladly give their lives to defending socialism
but even they would have little inkling of the adventure set in store for them as the lands beneath the waves erupt in fire, fury, and revolt
Can these transgender badasses kick fascist ass?

It's genuinely pretty awesome to be in a trans space where I am not the eldest trans person by a country mile. (in trans-time terms but I also love our older trans conrades)
Every previous discord, youth group, whatever was the type of thing where people would bounce by year two of fulltime, every time. I don't begrudge people that because you can't force people to stick around of course, but it was kind of stupid to go ask a question or whatever and people would be like "I dunno, you've been doing it the longest", or they'd produce that fucking hilarious chart for feminising hormone therapy that says all effects stop at 36 months.
I really appreciate having a place that's not that, where people often know a lot more than I do. Thank you trans mega.
single handedly keeping me from having to go into a meatspace group and be disappointed when the people there dont want to sink terf-island and drag landlords through the streets in chains.
SAME
It was bad at points with some of those spaces especially with a lot of negativity. It's hard at times to keep positive too but I think the community needs people who have experiemce
I can understand it can be a lot for some but I do think the community needs elder trans voices and it is dissapointing to see some drift away for various reasons.
It is good to see people here that are a little older than the typical baby trans servers (where we started) and it's nice to have a safer space for a more mature community to grow (hexbear) It's also got a lot more variety of identities too which is a plus.
We love our trans elders (both in age and trans terms) don't we folks?!
Aye I'm old and crusty at this stage and I'm still not done (and probably won't be done ever)
That makes me feel bad for two reasons.
I'm old.
I've practically bounced out of this place and am maybe 10% as active as I used to be due to various reasons.
No you are baby, two years is not much to me at this point. In age terms anyway 35 is not even old.
Alright, well like I said above I don't begrudge people this
No. I mean I'm actually just old. Not in terms of HRT.
Honestly, I wouldn't mind, but hells. I don't understand what people are talking about most of the time. I'm not on my computer much anymore. I get blowback for trying to help people. Most people ignore what I"m telling them 90% of the time anyways. So, I just have no inclination to post here anymore. I just refuse to turn it into my personal twitter feed.
Ok well I am speaking in transition terms, how long has someone accepted they are trans, or been out fulltime ig. Every time I talk about this someone misunderstand it. 30s is not old either though.
Compared to the people here, I'm probably 10 years older than the average.
No idea what the average is but there are people here who are much older than you. Mid 30s, that's not even old.
Alright, cool. That's just how I feel then.
I'm older than you
Yaโll are pretty amazing and gay, ngl
