You know... it's funny how seeing this topic gave me a moment of pause. I had a preconception coming in, despite the fact that I have no reason for such. I'd like to say I have faith this won't be taken the wrong way, but Tumblr and SoFurry have given me reason for pause with the topic at hand. It's odd when I caught myself thinking that way, since I support the equality of all humanity, why should this integral part of myself make me worry about the civility of matters when it comes to a discussion? Especially here, a place with a general understanding of fairness. And yet here I am half-expecting someone to come from the woodwork and say 'this thread has no reason to exist,' and equally so believing that's just the past experiences speaking up.
I guess my past experience with how people react to the simplest of things in any regard tends to give me a pause anyway. I greatly dislike conflict, even though I have more than learned how to cope when I find it. But that's enough of that, quite frankly I trust everyone here far more than I could say for the other two sites, even if there have been hiccups here and there. I just didn't like how a topic set to my own orientation gave me the kind of pause it did...
But well, here I am. I'm certainly proud of who I am in a lot of ways, and I most certainly find value in everyone and everything. I know there are a few other straight furs still roaming around as well, but I can say I certainly don't see very many on the forums lately.
