    So like I said in my previous comment, no one is driven by such strong compulsion that they must sexually assault someone. Being a pedophile is not a sexual orientation it is literally a desire to commit sexual violence. If someone told me “I am so driven to commit acts of sexual violence against rhe vulnerable that I am voluntarily putting myself into a mental health facility” my first thought would be that I hope they are being involuntarily held.

    Pedophilia is not a disability. No i am not being ableist by directly correlating pedophilia with rapists. They are literally obsessed with rape. They see children as a means to an end for their personal sexual gratification. I would react to someone saying they are a pedophile the same way as if someone told me they desperately want to sexually assault someone.

    Being a pedophile is not a sexual orientation. It is not a sexuality.

    I strongly, strongly dislike the way you are framing pedophilia. All CSA is based around the vulnerability of the victim. Child sexual abusers are aware of what they are doing. No one is driven by such strong compulsion that they must sexually assault someone. It’s exactly as evil and wrong no matter the age of their victim. All CSA is wrong. All sexual abuse is wrong.



  • Did you actually read the African human rights commission link? It specifically says that there legitimate LGBT people in the area who need help. It is calling out scammers because their scams will be used to dismiss actual queer refugees who actually need help.

    If you want to demand further verification you can ask moderators of this community or others to do that. You can also ask gofundme to do that. People have already done both of those things in the past and she has been verified to be a real person. To do this bizarre public condemnation ritual cause she once went to a refugee camp that has had scammers there is just wrong. It’s an extreme overgeneralization and the way youre applying your “evidence” basically works to dismiss the entire country as a scam. Which obviously isn’t true.


  • She isnt in Kakuma, she was in the past. Your other comment also seems to be just listing random cases of people suspected of scamming and not actual evidence about Cyara herself. Her gofundme posts the actual wire transfers themselves. She routinely posts pictures of herself and has been verified several times by other moderators. I have communicated with her over text several times about possible routes out of South Sudan to a country where her rights would be respected.

    I understand the need to vet these kinds of posts. But no not every person who has been to a particular refugee camp is automatically a scammer? Like saying “This specific refugee camp has been scamming the queer community for literally years at this point” is wild. Are you trying to say its not a real place? Or that no actual queer people can possibly have gone there? Merely ever having been there once means you’re a scammer? Like that’s not proof of anything.



  • I commented this on a previous post about pregnancy dysphoria. Still holds true to how i feel,

    I’ve mostly made peace with the fact that it will never happen. It hurts very badly sometimes but it is what it is. I really want to be a mom one day, and when I am able to I will love my children with all my heart. For me, being a mom is my life’s dream. I wish I could conceive my own children but, I can’t. Someday it will be a reality for women like us but it’s not there yet and I’m really not holding out any hope that it will be within my life time. Even if it does happen in my lifetime I don’t want to spend my life waiting for something that is unlikely to ever happen for me. Focusing on how ultimately being a mom itself is my dream has helped me cope. Because that is something I can work towards today.

    I really strongly empathize with this pain though. I’ve cried myself to sleep over it many times. I hope you’re able to find what helps make it easier for you.





  • I generally dont ask if anyone wants to come with. If anyone has to go I feel like they usually will be like oh I have to go too and then come along. Sometimes I will ask close friends if they have to go too. Especially if the bathrooms are far from where we’re sitting / dancing.

    If you also have to go at the same time yeah for sure you can be like oh ill come with i have to go too.

    I do wait if we’re both going to the bathroom at the same time. Usually just stand by the door after I wash my hands. But it depends how well I know the person ig and if we had been talking. Some women are super chatty and will talk to you the whole time haha but I feel like most of us aren’t. It’s just nice to group up.
