What it means to be Transgender
We are but the sum of our experiences, and Trans folks share a number of experiences in kind.
• Trying to live in society as the wrong gender
• Dysphoria and the self-realization thereof
• Internal investigations that return proof of our "transness"
• Fear of transphobia that makes us question the security of even our closest bonds
Our responses to the adversity in our very identities has defined us. ![]()
The adversity that surrounds us unites us. ✊
#transdayofvisibility Fun Fact: Trans people are sometimes thought of by cis folks as isolated anomalies, but as a matter of fact, we're practically everywhere! Workplaces, social events, community activism groups, inside your house, climbing up the stairs, right BEHIND YOU LOOK OUT
Politics, Speedrunning, Shitpost
Trump speedran the new WR on National Election (US edition) any%:
* nonstandard inputs that made no sense but didn't violate game constraints.
* underflows to maximize rankings
* damage boosts off of enemy attacks
* i-frame exploitation
* state corruption through Facebook minigame
* looking at his Cabinet and backers, it's clearly tool-assisted.
* Mueller's investigation is the political verification on original hardware.
The Ongoing Saga
It's always great fun when the HR rep suggests using the employee assistance program to sue the company insurance provider.
Even better, he said America sucks, the corporate insurance provider sucks, the parent company sucks for forcing us to use them, and he'd consider it a sign of great personal courage and strength if I went and found a new job to take care of my family, which is a fucking crime because I have a positive rep and he knows the business will suffer when I leave.

hot take: Masto should not focus on acquiring new users
it should focus on providing its users a safe, stable, reliable place to form a community, and allow users to join organically
trying to emulate other systems by incorporating their flaws is a terrible idea and guess against the whole ethos behind most people who came here
