Sorry for being ignorant but what is that place?

It's a moniker for the 4chan board /lgbt/. The name comes from "To tell the truth," namely due to the reputation of trans 4chan users to be very harsh to one another.

For those watching at home: being harsh is not the same thing as being truthful.

For casual readers: Blanchard's theories are widely discredited and "Autogynephile" is considered an impolite term among trans people.

That has not been the case in the three cities and health systems (edit: in the US) in which I've had transgender care over the past decade.

Don't trans people usually date/meet with non-trans people!?

In 2024 I went on a bit of a dating spree and I had first dates with 6 other trans women. 1 cis woman ghosted me.

I think most cis women-who-love-women do like trans women, but they just have more options.

Beware if you have UK users, you should read the new law in the UK called the online safety act. Your site has young trans people, sexual content, and would also be a target for grooming from chasers. The risks, for you, are very high.

> The risks, for you, are very high. Is the creator in the UK? Or do they visit regularly? It wasn't mentioned in the original post.

The law has ridiculous overreach, that's true. And we haven't seen what international enforcement of it looks like yet. But to deal with the facts as they are now, the law states that it applies if you have UK users, and that the personal liability for officers of the company can be up to £18M... The overreach continues because it also covers "harmful but not illegal" content.

The app publishing didn't exclude the UK, it probably should.

No, trans people dating other trans people is actually extremely common (both homo- and heterosexual). Often because both (or more) people often understand each others struggles and wants way better than cis people do, and simply because if you like spending time primarily in trans-heavy communities, you will likely fall for someone who's also trans.

The HSTS / AGP dichotomy is not taken seriously among trans people or care providers, don't listen to this person.

I am taking security very seriously. All sensitive rows are protected by RLS, and I have gone even further by adding random noise to all location data. Locations are locked down, but in the unfortunate event of a hack what would be leaked is location within a 5 or so mile range, not exact location. If it is possible on Supabase I would like to eventually obscure emails and oauth info.

this is the most insane thread I have ever seen on hn.

"no good deed goes unpunished" comes to mind
