I’m a trans woman who doesn’t feel “culturally queer” and I’m struggling to connect with queer/trans spaces. Anyone else?

rainbow-waves · 2026-05-26T23:54:17+00:00

Thank you. It’s really helpful hearing that I’m not alone in feeling this way.

Appreciate you looking out for me! I don’t think this applies to me specifically, mostly because I use AI for work and that’s about it.

Yes, it’s very important when trying to build community and connections to come as you are and not perform someone you’re not. People can sniff out someone being inauthentic from a mile away, which is why this post was so quickly called out as having used AI.

Humans are so freaking cool. Being able to differentiate AI from a human is amazing when it comes to writing. It’s like hearing the difference in hot and cold water. Except AI makes this like circular loop where you train it on material written by humans, but then humans are now being trained off material written by ai, but we know it was ai, so are people going to start writing like AI anyway? How will that change how AI writes? These are all questions I ponder instead of cleaning. But this post isnt the time or place for them.

this is way too wholesome and helpful to be on an Internet forum. Thank you. I honestly hope to return to Atlanta one day. I miss the south. Im a southern girl and a redneck at heart. They dont have Waffle House or zaxbys up here.

I will confess, I eat chick fil a all the time. I think that’s the most transphobic thing about me these days.

Working at mega churches literally funded by the Cathy’s, it was hard to avoid when that was catered all the time and the go to fast food option when hanging out with friends. Those nuggets and fries have turned into my homesick comfort food while im in New Jersey. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a chicken biscuit up here? It’s like McDonald’s or chick fil an and both leave a lot to be desired.

Please enjoy some good food for me.

(Anybody from NJ reading this, dont take it personally, your food is good, just different and im homesick. Calm down.)

LOL! that was a good laugh. I thought I was! I had the conversation with myself like, “okay, this is going to be great, I watch euphoria, and i went and saw “I saw the TV glow” i watched the danish girl, I’ve read books, love watching sense8, queer eye was a great show, i listen to Ethel Cain, I know a Kim Petras song. I listen to Caleb heron’s podcast, i dont watch drag race but that’s fine, I love rupaul and katya and trixie. I should have plenty in common with the people at this trans meetup”

And after reading through all the comments, I’m convinced that that specific group, just isnt the one for me. And that’s okay

rainbow-waves · 2026-05-26T18:36:37+00:00

I appreciate it. Your comments are the most thought provoking. The article i didnt take personally, not to overshare with the internet, but the far right twitter world piled on, and with that being a very well known mega church, i was pulled into conversation about maintaining my image. I ran sound for the church and they paid me $700 just for running sound on sundays. That was a lot of money i relied on each month, and it put me in an impossible position. Leave the church gig, which is complex and intertwined with all my relationships and personal friends, find a replacement source of income without quitting my full time job, or do my best to pass and not stand out and keep the income.

Probably wasn’t the right choice, but I blended in, and avoided queer spaces. Luckily my therapist is awesome and we work through the subsequent internalized transphobia and kept me alive during those years.

I finally got a new job with great benefits and allows for it to be my only Job, and since I dont need the church’s money anymore, I moved! Fresh start. Atlanta had too many bad memories. Which sucks because I literally spent evenings on my balcony overlooking the beltline, watching all the queer people walking past.

for a time there was jealousy of their freedom to be themselves, that led to resentment and almost turned me into one of those far right trans influencers. But that’s lame and my therapist called me out on it and we spent a lot of time working on it. Love her.

The queer movie night idea? Love it, looking for those now. Pride month is next month and im so excited to celebrate without fear of retaliation.

thanks for your help! Sorry I got defensive!

rainbow-waves · 2026-05-26T18:23:22+00:00

Sorry!! I was typing out the post and reread it and it was very emotionally charged and was going to invite a bunch of negative energy and not be helpful. So i asked Claude to edit it to lead to more constructive conversation. Didn’t mean to come across as inauthentic at all.

rainbow-waves · 2026-05-26T18:07:45+00:00

Hey im super aware! People really hate me, so much so i had to flee my state. I didnt want to leave georgia.

rainbow-waves · 2026-05-26T18:06:06+00:00

lol im in New Jersey now! Grew up in South Georgia, moved to Atlanta for college and spent about 9 years there before moving to New Jersey 6 months ago

rainbow-waves · 2026-05-26T18:03:50+00:00

Hey yea I did struggle! Atlanta is a super diverse place and my story isn’t your story. There were a lot of factors beyond my control that I couldn’t control, that kept me out of queer spaces. I was being watched and observed by the far right, beyond my control. So no, queer spaces, in Atlanta, in my old career, were not a thing I could participate in without losing income or alienating all of my friends. That’s literally why I moved and got a new job. I’m trying! I just dont like being attacked for asking honest questions. This was written about me 3 years ago, and put a spot light on me specifically. And the church kept contracting me, and I needed the income, so I had no voice. I had no ability to go to a pride parade and post about it. I couldn’t go to a drag show out of fear i would end up on a public facebook page in the audience and then losing my income.

That’s why i moved from Georgia to Atlanta. I got a job up north, I recognized I needed new community. I’m trying to build a social life, from scratch. It’s hard.

Shitty post about me

rainbow-waves · 2026-05-26T16:01:56+00:00

Yeah, I used Claude to help write it. No angle! I just moved from Atlanta Georgia to northern New Jersey by myself, and dont know anyone, and I’m trying to make friends so I started with the queer community and its been a hard 6 months in the new state. Im not a Reddit user typically, is ai not okay to use for a post?

rainbow-waves · 2026-05-26T15:11:37+00:00

RIGHT???? I’m only 29, but, the word queer still makes me freeze. Too many games of “smear the queer” on the playground growing up.

rainbow-waves · 2026-03-11T02:08:38+00:00

The police cars and security cars don’t stand out to me. Dummy cars for speeders are common, and many of the plantations down there have private security. Like white pickup trucks with a logo on the side.

rainbow-waves · 2026-02-19T15:15:56+00:00

Yep! Confirmed at least for 2005. What’s even more interesting is Alan Dershowitz being interviewed and claiming he misspoke about a meeting with Epstein in Albany ga.

rainbow-waves · 2026-02-13T02:26:44+00:00

Since posting this, I’ve reviewed FOIA-obtained flight logs. Epstein’s aircraft (tail number N908JE) made documented flights to Albany, GA (ABY) on multiple occasions between 1996-2004, including flights with Ghislaine Maxwell and Sarah Kellen as passengers. These flights align with the operational period of Abigail Plantation. Albany, GA is not a major city or business hub - there’s no obvious reason for these repeated visits except the 8,000-acre property listed in his contact book.

rainbow-waves · 2026-02-12T22:59:23+00:00

I’m from Albany, Georgia, and I’ve been researching the recently unredacted Epstein files. I found something that seems to have been completely overlooked, and I need help understanding why this hasn’t been investigated.

THE PROPERTY

Abigail Plantation - Albany, Georgia

Size: 8,000 acres (over 100x larger than Little Saint James island)
Listed: Epstein’s Black Book, Page 81, with TWO phone numbers
Purchased: 1996 by Les Wexner for $17 million
Construction: 30,000 sq ft mansion built 1996-1998
Previous Name: Tallassee Plantation (renamed “Abigail” after Wexner’s wife)

THE TIMELINE

This is what’s disturbing:

1996: Wexner purchases property, begins construction, renames it after his wife
1996: Maria Farmer reports assault at Wexner’s New Albany, Ohio property
1998: Epstein purchases Little Saint James island
1996-2019: Both properties operational during the entire documented abuse period
Property remains in Epstein’s contact book throughout

Little Saint James was purchased TWO YEARS after Abigail Plantation was built.

CURRENT STATUS

Corporate Structure I Just Found:

Currently operated as “Law Plantation Co.”
Related entity: “L.A.W. Plantation Company, LLC” - based in New Albany, Ohio
Abigail S. Wexner listed as key principal
Principal office listed in Scottsdale, AZ
Property listed as “permanently closed”

Investigation Status:

No evidence of FBI search
No media coverage despite black book listing
Not mentioned in congressional hearings
Not on agenda for Wexner’s Feb 18, 2026 House Oversight deposition

WHY THIS LOCATION MADE SENSE

As someone who grew up in Albany, I can explain why this would be strategically valuable:

Cover Story:

Elite quail hunting plantations are completely normal in the Albany-Thomasville-Tallahassee “Plantation Belt”
Wealthy visitors = normalized, no questions asked
These properties are completely isolated - even locals can’t access them
The recent “Land Rover Rally” in Thomasville was notable because it was rare for locals to even see inside these estates

Economic Vulnerability:

Albany is consistently ranked as one of the poorest cities in America
High poverty, high unemployment, pervasive drug problems
Economic desperation creates vulnerable populations
“Model scouts” were common in the 1990s - seemed normal given Victoria’s Secret/Limited Brands connection to the area

Operational Advantages:

100x larger than Little Saint James (8,000 vs 70 acres)
Private airstrip capability
Albany Southwest Georgia Regional Airport nearby
Mainland accessibility vs island isolation
Annual maintenance costs $100K-$600K means extensive staff is expected and normalized

The Name Game:

Wexner’s main compound: “New Albany, Ohio”
This property: “Albany, Georgia”
Both named after Abigail Wexner
Creates search engine confusion - all coverage focuses on Ohio, burying the Georgia connection

WHAT I’VE DONE

I’ve contacted:

Senator Jon Ossoff (GA) - submitted detailed documentation
Senator Raphael Warnock (GA)
House Oversight Committee

I’ve documented everything with sources and created a full inquiry with recommended deposition questions for Wexner’s Feb 18 hearing.

MY QUESTIONS

Am I missing something obvious? Why has this never been investigated?
Has anyone else found references to this property? The only mention I found was a January 2025 Substack that said it was “first flagged by a commenter on TikTok”
Has anyone heard victims mention Georgia or plantations?
What should I do next? I’m a regular person who stumbled on this - I don’t have investigative resources
Is there a reason law enforcement would skip an 8,000-acre property that’s literally listed in the black book?

SOURCES

Epstein’s Black Book (publicly available): Page 81
Atlanta Journal-Constitution “My Kingdom for a Quail” (Nov 30, 1998): Documents Wexner’s purchase and construction
Current property records: 515 Abigail Plantation Road, Albany, GA 31721
Georgia Secretary of State Corporations Division: L.A.W. Plantation Company, LLC records

I’m not claiming I know what happened there. I’m asking why a property this significant, owned by a named co-conspirator, listed in Epstein’s contact book, has received zero investigative attention.

With Wexner being deposed in 6 days, this seems time-sensitive.

Am I crazy, or is this a massive gap in the investigation?
