I’ve noticed there’s been a lot more toxic postings in the trad community and it needs to be addressed. There’s a lot of trolls and troublemakers who are specifically attempting to make a trad relationship look wrong and vile. Or attempt to insert various things that are innately mutually exclusive of a trad relationship, such as poly or trans, and subvert the community by forcing inclusion. And there’s many who are bringing up the classics: How trad is racist, abusive, etc.

Ignore them. Ideally block them. Many are from Twitter, which is well known to be pointlessly hateful. You don’t have to deal with them and there’s nothing wrong with wanting and having a trad relationship. You can expect this sort of hate from liberals a lot, but don’t be surprised as you see conservatives who also consider family to be less than important.

Also you’re not alone. Several people I talk to regularly on here have seen the same. Don’t feel like you’re an isolated case. That’s part of the tactic, to make you feel like you’re by yourself, but you’re not. So don’t let them get you down.
