This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I bet everyone has pretended to be the opposite sex online. Maybe just for the giggles. But anyone who does that all the time, straight to hell.

or straight to therapy and hopefully a trans supportive community haha (not that it would excuse catfishing)

I try to not reveal my gender when speaking online. I don't fell it pertinent and it is nice to be able to act which ever role you chose to at the moment.

Bingo, bango! Whenever gender comes up, I flip a coin for what I'll answer. With rare exception, gender is meaningless in most places and is only being used by the other side as a red herring at best.
