April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberI'm so torn
I love gender transformation, but the whole "lose who you are mentally" aspect is... ehhhh?
At least this time there isn't just a vile person involved.

MemberNot a big fan of the lose-your-personality thing, but honestly I'll take this sort of personality loss over the "Oh I am female now and am so horny for massive dongs, shoved anywhere they fit" type of thing.

MemberI was torn the same way. I LOVE Gender TF and TF in general but when they lose who they are...it scares me. Like the old person is almost dead, or never existed. But with these cases, I'm just glad they are happy and still have SOME bits of their old self. At least they are happy you know? And that is wasn't done with any bad feelings involved.
