SO I found out today at lunch, on my own time and personal laptop that our school filter has this web site blocked, and the reason was simply it think this site is "R-rated"  >:( SERIOUSLY ! MY ART, HISTORY, AND SCIENCES classes have more "R-rated" content. Hell has anyone ever really read the stuff we read in english.  Or is it ok for us watch a movie that dipicts people being killed in the middle of the schoolday or read graphic novels about a dude about a girls dad who sleeps with teenage boys (Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic ) for a class is ok ? Im sorry but I figured since my supper LGBT friendly school wouldn't really have this site blocked, I mean we even have a GSA a rather large one too. ( I am not Apart of it yet  :-\ ) SO this is my rant, Im just sad because it was my own time during lunch and I feel like This site shouldn't be blocked and I don't really feel like asking them to unblock it because im not really "out" to many if anyone really and I dont want them asking " well why are you going on transgender forums anyway" or something like that because people make some stupid sny comment.

Quite a lot of web filtering software will block Susan's. Because of the meta tags it uses in its web pages. Some of them contain the word "sex". And that's an automatic red flag in a lot of places. The software doesn't really have discretion.

Use a VPN, i use one to get on this site while at school cause it's blocked there too, even though they allow way, way, way worse stuff to be shown, including STD infected gender bits, i almost threw up looking at it.
