Hi! Just thought I’d introduce myself. I’m an Australian anthropologist, author and performer whose also Aspie and queer. I’m a little tired of the religiousity starting to drive Australian social policy again - feel like we are spiralling back to the 1950’s or earlier (thus the picture of me that depicts my feelings on that!). During our ridiculous plebiscite for same-sex marriage rights I was heavily discriminated against in a workplace that was supposed to be neutral. It was insane. I don’t want to live in a scene out of the handmaids tale! I think diversity is a strength but I’m really OVER the delusion of some people operating under religious sensibility. So I’m glad to have found this site - to find new friends who think the same. Jacqui
Unfortunately trumpski’s nationalism, racism, sexism is rubbing off on other countries.
Welcome to the site
Hi, Greeneyednerd, and welcome to the website!
Yeah..things haven't been great for the LGBTQ community, women, or for other minorities in the US either, lately.
By the way, this website has a bit of a learning curve, so here's some info, in case you need it.
For members who are open to dating, certain thumbnails and profiles have a heart symbol on them with a percentage. This identifies which members are open to dating, and the percent shows approximately how compatible others are with them.
You gain website points by answering all the profile questions and writing a bio, which also earns website points, and helps other members get to know you.
Commenting on posts and writing your own posts earns more points. At level two you can private message people, and at level eight you get an agnostic T-shirt.
If you want to date, the website uses profile algorithms to find member matches, so the more details one includes, the better the match.
Many people prefer to see a written profile talking about interests, hobbies, and backgrounds that can be quickly perused to find others with similar interests..
In case you didn't know yet, to find members near you, click on the "Browse" button at the top of the page, then on "Members," and enter your preferred search parameters.
Click on the "Discuss" button, then "Nearby" to find members near you also.
Or click on the "About" button at the top left of the page to find links to FAQ or the website tutorial.
Points are now being given to level 3+ members who chat. You can see chat rooms on the group main page.
