In my experience, if you don't bait the SJWs, they don't come at you. If you don't tell anyone you're straight or cis, they won't know.
Yeah, like you shouldn't say you're a woman on gaming forums, so you won't get harassed! If you tell people on the internet you're a woman, you were asking for trouble!

... um, what?

That's not at all the same.

If you want fandom to be your escape, why not keep yourself as anonymous as possible? Why do people need to know anything about you in order for you to discuss the ins and outs of Doctor Who?

THIS

Seriously...no one should be told 'just don't tell anyone' like it's shameful or something. Also...if it's a personal blog I figure it's going to come out at some point.


If fandom is a safe space it should be a safe space for all race gender sexuality groups not just the ones who 'deserve it more' If there spreading hateful bigoted things about others they should be called on it. If a person of one gender/race /sexuality should be allowed to vent every now and then about things like grades and annoying customers at work or being regularly told to die for something that's beyond their control , someone else of another shouldn't be called a stupid whiner, etc for doing the same. That's hypocrisy.

It's not about it being shameful, it's about other people being creeps and being on guard about what you say and do.

Let's be honest, fandom is not a safe space. Maybe if you are talking about a small locked livejournal community where you know all the members- yeah you could consider that a safe space.

But public venues like tumblr? That is not a safe space. Everyone is on sites like that, including people who you should really stay away from for your own personal safety.

When you say things and post to sites that EVERYONE can see, you have to be prepared for people to say things back. Even if you thought it was something relatively innocent, you really never know.

I just look at it this way- I can't change the nature of the internet, I can't change other people. So I'm better off protecting myself then having the illusion of a "safe space" that doesn't exist.

That is not the same fucking thing at all.

One is being harassed because of your gender the other is being called out for doing or saying something bigoted.

Very fucking different.

OP did not mention being called out for bigoted actions or words. You added that. In light of what OP DID say, being harassed over your gender is equivalent to being harassed for your sexuality or cisness.
