That's awful. I'm sorry you've gotten so little support, both from the groups themselves and from others when you've tried to seek support outside said groups! I think there's a lot of that sentiment; "well, what did YOU do to deserve it? Didn't you see their sign that says they're open and accepting of everyone?" When like... you're trying to explain that there's a big unspoken asterisk on the sign. [That metaphor might be a gigantic mess, lol.] Oof. I can completely see how having the wrong people in a leadership role would cause a LOT of problems if they decide to push their own biases or exclusionary beliefs and things like that, even if they do it "subtly."
Nah, it's not dumping, just commiserating!
Ugh, yeah. I kept hearing how there was going to be this fantastic boom of in person friendships and interactions and things after Covid. Yeah, there were people excited to do stuff for a while... most of them were anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers and for way too long, every single event caused a wave of Covid infections in everyone I knew who'd gone to them. By the time things reached a point where it seems kind of okay to go do things, everyone is uninterested, just like they were pre-Covid.
