Foggy_the_enby Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 So as the title says, my dad found out about Ditch the Label….. and he’s fine with it!!!!! I was like, super super super anxious because he walked behind me while I was on it and I quickly turned my iPad off which made it look really suspicious. I mean the reason why I hide this website is because 1. I’m used to hiding sites where I’m able to talk to people online from them as my parents don’t like that, and 2. My pare are enbyphobic and don’t believe in the existence of other genders such as nonbinary and genderfluid, and I’m nonbinary, so I wouldn’t want them to find out I’m nonbinary at all!!! But he discussed it with me and I told him the truth that it’s safe and very well moderated and a pretty small community, but he didn’t believe just my opinion because websites can hide stuff to make it seem like it’s safe. But I know regardless that this site is safe. So he said he’d do research on the site, and I was literally dreading him finding out about that all genders are welcome or something like that and the inclusivity of genders and that being the reason I can’t go on there, but he didn’t!!!! What he did see that made it click for him that this site was safe was that it’s a registered charity, so I don’t have to hide it from him. Which is just shdhdhwwhdhsnsjwjs a huge weight off my chest because when my dad asks what site I’m on, I can say Ditch the Label, and it’s fine. Phew is all I can say. 4 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsoon Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Hey @Foggy_the_enby I'm really glad to hear that your dad is fine with you using our website :). As you can said, I can imagine that this is a huge weight lifted off your shoulders! I'm just wondering, could it be a good idea to hide this post though so he doesn't figure out that this is your account? 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just wondering, could it be a good idea to hide this post though so he doesn't figure out that this is your account? Yeah I’m happy too. I was nervous he’d ask to see my account so I’d have to quickly change my pronouns and stuff and get rid of my bio but luckily I don’t need to. I shall try hide this post from him though I doubt he’d be reading it anyway. I’m not sure. But I wouldn’t want him finding out I’m nonbinary through this site that I’m now actually allowed to be on, MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monsoon Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Hey @Foggy_the_enby Would you like us to try hiding this post for you? It might be best if we hide all your previous posts so he doesn't find out that this is your account. What do you think? MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foggy_the_enby Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 I think it’ll be fine. I don’t think he’ll be looking on my account as he knows this site is safe 1 MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
