I finally did it, removed my access to channels I will never be on again and here I tell it to everyone and why I left the channels.

And short stories about what these channels are: * ##not-a-honeypot and #limnoria are detailed in my two other blogposts, basically they have issues with either women or trans people and one had my ex. * https://mikaela.info/english/2015/03/25/leaving-bots-life.html * https://mikaela.info/english/2015/05/18/life-bot-background.html * #ircassholes is dead and I haven’t been in speaking terms with the founder in a long time. * #suicidewatch and #sw-defocus I was on a long time and stayed there after coming out in hope I could help other trans/autism spectrum people, but being there was too much for me and I ended up leaving at some point. I also have issue of feeling like I don’t deserve to be there. * ##matrixiumn, I think we are still in speaking terms, but that channel had discussions I didn’t like so much. * ##asexuality, here I was co-founder until someone who believes they can decide identities of other people for them and know them better than the people by themselves came and after that my flags were decreased to those of regular user without any kind of explanation no matter how much I asked. I decided that I won’t be bullied there and I have substituted this with IRL peer support, HeSeta’s Asexual evenings (in Finnish). There is also still ##abgilpqt+ * *add related link here if it gets out of _drafts*
