   I went online a lot as a preteen and teenager because there was no age verification and I'm only kind of messed up. :neofox_woozy:

     @zonk @tk agreed. The internet was so much less harmful to me than the outside world, particularly as it related to my experiences with drugs

     @purple @tk idk I turned out okay. remarkably well adjusted given my context, I think

     @izzy@social.shadowkat.net @tk@bbs.kawa-kun.com it doesn't help that the first server i joined was alt.com (later kink.com) because it was for folks with an "alternative" lifestyle and i was a badass hacker so how much more alt does it get 🤣

     @purple @tk actually remarked to a friend yesterday that the thing about IRC is that boys will be girls, girls will be boys, and uncategorisable entities will come out of the woodwork.
     
     or, in plainer language, I was in a channel full of trans women for at least ten years without working it out.
