I noticed in a separate thread, someone suggested LGBT+ people on Bimboland elect 3-4 secretaries to speak about our issues, but the thread itself isn't an appropriate place to discuss that further. I'm posting this as a separate discussion to previous discussions about LGBT+ secretaries as those are old threads and only referred to there being one secretary at a time. 

Some points of discussion: 
What specifically will their jobs consist of? Do they speak on behalf of the general Bimboland LGBT+ community? Do they work with Forum Guardians, State Ministers, and the Prime Bimbo?What criteria must someone fit in to be a secretary for LGBT+ people in Bimboland? What traits would best represent us? Ex: views, history in Bimboland, etc. How should they be elected? Formally, informally, will they be chosen by State Ministers, etc.Etc.I'd like to note that I'd prefer this conversation be limited to members of the LGBT+ community and officials such as Forum Guardians & the Prime Bimbo, because while I appreciate insight from those who aren't LGBT+ in some way, this is a conversation with Bimboland's government and LGBT+ people.

We definitely need a trans person to elect as well as anyone else who identifies as not-straight. Most important thing to include is trans POC as well

We just need more than the token 1-2 LGBT people in a position of power on this site. Like the person above me said trans POC would be nice. After everything that's happened though I'm not even sure if anyone LGBT would want to dedicate their time to this site considering the way they get treated

I think that the homophobia on this site will not change unless known homophobes and transphobes aren't allowed positions of power in the first place (making homophobia and transphobia a bannable offense). I think that LGBT secretaries are a great idea in theory, but I'm worried about LGBT people that are appointed as secretaries just being bullied in a similar fashion as LGBT citizens are by other bimbos in power.

So yeah basically I personally think that if this is implemented, it should be implemented alongside stricter rules against homophobia and transphobia.

^ This is why I didn’t continue the conversation beyond what I said in that thread while I was discussing it with my friend Dean. Also, there are several users right now who are jailed, including Dean himself, but I know they’d love to contribute and I hope they’re able to soon. I’m worried about saying anything else because everything I’ve been saying lately is somehow either forum-bannable or jail-worthy. It’s terrifying. I feel like I can’t even have serious conversations on this site without getting shutdown because of my thoughts, which are clearly influence by my identity as someone who’s LGBT and POC.

19, she/he pronouns ONLY. Barely on the site anymore so don’t bother. Please don’t interact with me if we aren’t friends, it makes me incredibly uncomfortable and anxious.

Seriously. I don’t show it very clearly because I try to hide it but it’s genuinely terrifying for me to type anything in a serious tone anymore because I’m scared it’s going to get shutdown. I can’t even express my identity anymore without fearing that I’ll be punished for it somehow.

My honest advice is to disregard likes/dislikes as a whole. While I know users often use them as a quick way to share a vague opinion on the post without expending the energy to form a response, a lot of times people on touch screens will like/dislike something on accident, and currently have no way to undo that action. 

Back onto the topic of secretary now. I'd also recommend getting in touch with your SM's with questions and concerns regarding this position, as well as suggestions. I think that they should also be part of this discussion, LGBTQ+ or not, because they would be actively working with anyone elected.

One more thing: Please refrain from calling my role a "token" anything in the future. I didn't get my position because of my sexuality, and neither did anyone else.

CD, will all due respect, I think when people use the term “token” here, they are referring to the last secretary. Who was admittedly used as such. Quick edit because I wanted to add: it seems like this dislikes are also thoroughly consistent, not mistakes. It’s hard not to take notice of them because of what’s been happening recently, + personally I suffer from constant paranoia. It’s hard to ignore.
