April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberNow hang on a sec: How can you be transgender AND non-binary?
You cant transition into another gender if you don't identify as a binary gender. It would be like trying to go nowhere, its an oxymoron.

MemberThe 'trans' in transgender isn't trans as in transition, it's trans as in transverse- 'crossing over', 'across from', etc. (That's also where you get 'cis'- 'on the same side' as one's assigned/birth gender, as opposed to on another side.)
In any case, transitioning doesn't have to just be going from Point A to Point B or Point B to Point A. Even many binary trans people don't go 'all the way' for a variety of reasons, and some aren't in circumstances where they can afford to/be safe even leaving the point where they started. They're still just as trans as fully transitioned people. Same for nonbinary folk.
Point C might not be as popular a metaphorical destination as Point A or B, but that doesn't mean it's 'nowhere' or that you can't go there.
Neko Ed
MemberExcellent explanation, thank you so much!
(As an aside, the white stripe on the trans flag represents nonbinary, genderqueer and genderfluid identities!)
