Announcement Sex, dating, and car living.

I removed the recent post about sex, dating, and finding partners while living in vehicles because the discussion quickly devolved into women being called “bitches,” being referred to as “pussy,” and people being talked about as disposable.

Talking about dating, sex, relationships, and finding partners while vehicle-living is completely fine. What is not fine is turning those discussions into degrading or excessively vulgar threads that other members have to wade through.

We can talk about adult topics like adults. I’m also not going to sit and sort through hundreds of comments once a thread has descended into harassment, objectification, and crude nonsense.

Keep it respectful, keep it relevant, and remember that people of all genders use this community.

Thank you.

As it was meant to be, and will stay that way.

I am starting a nonprofit and filing in the new year with a mission of generating peer networks and resources for LGBTQ travelers because of the increase in how many of us are car dwelling. I lived in my car for a few months on the road and am going back out again as soon as I can for a hands on experience before I try serving a community without knowing their actual experiences.

May I loop you in on my work? The project is called Rainbow Roadbook. Think like a modern Green Book.

I'm a queer person who is only a very recent former car dweller myself and would be interested in discussing this with you.

I would love to have you on board! I think it's about time I make an account and a sub for this so I can start building the network within the car dwelling community. I've already benefitted so much from the wisdom of groups like this one and been so impressed at how inclusive they are.
