    This tracks with my experience, but quite a few years earlier. Not a soul in our class identified as anything other than 100% straight. Decades later, a bunch of them have had egg cracking moments in their 30's and 40's.

    Remind me some day to talk about our "self-removed music teacher", who was probably one of the kindest men I've had the honour of studying under.

        It's a word that rhymes with "maggot".

        It wasn't removed by any bot or mod, I did it voluntarily because I'm not a weenie, and I know that sort of language can make people hurt.

          Ooooooooh self-removed, I thought that only the part after the hyphen was removed lmao. Made it really confusing trying to think of what slur could possibly fit there.

          My bad

            All good, sister. :penguin-love:

            I'm in a constant struggle between CHUD Thordros who existed in the past, and Decent Human Thordros who's trying to be at least okay in the present.

            I'm pretty sure the good guy is comin' out on top, though. :Care-Comrade:
