In the 90s, we connected our computers. In the early 2000s, social media promised to connect us. Now we live in a world filled with misunderstanding, hatred, and trauma. We can't undo what came before, but we can bring our better selves to try again to bond — not just connect.
In today's world, misinformation and misunderstanding surrounding gender identity, sexual orientation, and other critical social issues can lead to division and harm. There's a need for reliable, accessible educational resources and supportive communities that foster empathy and respect. The WLMN aims to address this challenge by providing a platform for learning, connection, and positive change.
We're creating all sorts of ways for you to explore and grow – from easy-to-read articles and shareable graphics that spark thought, to podcasts where we dive into deeper conversations. We strive to offer something for everyone, simplifying your search for reliable information about identity, acceptance, and how we can all connect better.
Start LearningWe believe true community thrives on more than just surface-level interactions. That's why, on various social platforms, we actively cultivate vibrant spaces where genuine dialogue, mutual support, and shared learning truly flourish. In these nurtured environments, we explore our common goals together, fostering deeper connections and encouraging personal growth far beyond the everyday scroll.
Find Your SpaceSometimes, a personal conversation is what's needed to work through your challenges. Whether it's for you as an individual, for your family, or your workplace, our team is here to offer that direct support. We listen to understand what's happening and help you and others involved find clear, kind solutions to create spaces where everyone feels more understood and included.
Find Solutions TogetherI am nonbinary--specifically genderfluid and agender. It can be refreshing seeing posts that express experiences that are similar to mine. It can help me feel less alone. I very much remember growing up in the 80s and 90s, when there wasn't as much information, and how isolating that was. I made the mistake of telling a parent that I wanted to be a boy when I was 12, and they reacted poorly. I thought clearly something was wrong with me. I was very keenly aware that I wasn't the daughter my parents wanted. I never told another person about my identity until I was in my 20s. That's when I had the epiphany that there was probably a name for what I was, and sure enough that's how I found out that genderfluidity has a name. If resources like this one had existed when I was a kid, my childhood would have been less lonely. I wouldn't have thought something was very wrong, and maybe I wouldn't have cried myself to sleep every night wishing I was something else. There's a lot of groups on Facebook that aren't LGBTQIA+ friendly, and with all the pushback that's been happening the last few years with trans and nonbinary folks, it's nice to have a place I know I'm safe. I don't have to hide who I am here, and in a world that still sees us as wrong, it's nice to have a place that reassures us that's not true.
