Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

Why joking? That did actually happen: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lori_and_George_Schappell

CW: Deadnaming, transphobia

George, formerly known as Dori and Reba, came out as a transgender man in 2007. Guinness World Records declared Lori and George to be the first set of conjoined twins to have different gender identities. Their family did not accept George's identity, as evidenced by his obituary and his mother's obituary; he was deadnamed and referred to as a daughter in both.

That family fucking sucks. So sorry for them.
