Just because I left the hate behind, doesn't mean that I won't stay susceptible to making mistakes or stepping on people's toes on accident. They will cry in pain, they will lash out, and they would be justified in doing so.
I have to remember that, apologize, learn from mistakes, take responsibility and do better.
This is the best way I have found to start mending the problems of this broken society.
Judge not a person for how they act in the best of times, but for how they act during the hard times, when they're presented with the possibility of having done wrong.
You'll find that you have less true friends than you actually do, but those that remain, they will be there to catch you when you fall.
trans health care 'reminiscence' (one swear, but it shows up thrice)
Just filled out https://yiff.life/@yeenbean/103449625873518196 talking about my experience getting HRT from my HMO.
...from everything in the survey, I had a relatively easy time of it.
I'm still fucking angry.
I got sent to a specialty therapist who jerked me around for three fucking appointments when they said /in the first one/ that they sign off most people. No feedback, no clear questions, no clear "this is what they want from you", just sitting in a fucking room pouring carefully metered amounts of my heart out while they're all pleasantly uncommunicative and unhelpful.
I only got delayed about a month in getting care and the office was a Metro ride and a walk to get to and no-one was cruel or misgendering but I am still furious when I think about it. That was not okay.
Politics meta, shitpost
Broke : "The left is making me move further right."
Woke : "The left has a lot of problems it needs to work on, primarily thanks to the liberal mind trap of being raised in an oppressive imperialist society."
Bespoke : "White leftism is not that much different to the systems of abuse that conservatives take part in. To fight this, I need to move further left, and free myself from western imperialism, in mind, body and spirit."
My friend is a med student about to graduate doing research on barriers to gender-affirming healthcare access for trans folks in the US.

people were talking about the millennium bug recently, well it turns out a lot of the fixes just delayed the problem to 2020
"Programmers wanting to avoid the Y2K bug had two broad options: entirely rewrite their code, or adopt a quick fix called “windowing”, which would treat all dates from 00 to 20, as from the 2000s, rather than the 1900s. An estimated 80 per cent of computers fixed in 1999 used the quicker, cheaper option."
"Those systems that used the quick fix have now reached the end of that window, and have rolled back to 1920. Utility company bills have reportedly been produced with the erroneous date 1920, while tens of thousands of parking meters in New York City have declined credit card transactions because of the date glitch."
Allistics meta and oppression of neurodivergents
Western white bread imperialism's most sinister and evil tool in their box of tricks is their ability to gaslight minorities into hiding our traits that make us a minority, in order for us to fit in.
And then, they demonize those who are open about themselves, feeding us propaganda after propaganda to keep us asleep and turn us against our own.
I was lead to believe that autistic people are monsters...
I am autistic.
I was lead to believe that otherkin folks are all crazy delusional folk taking advantage of the trans community to validate themselves...
I am otherkin.
I was lead to believe that the trans community has gone insane with gender non-binary identites and inviting "trenders" in to join their ranks...
I am enby.
Thankfully, I never believed the lies and neurotypical chauvinist propaganda about plural folk, which is good because...
I am plural.
This rebuttal of all the points in Google's privacy gaslighting post yesterday is a really excellent read.
