re: Trans Stuff (-)
@MadestMadness Anyone who hasn't had to go through the Long, Hard look at Identity that Transness requires doesn't Know that much about themselves, or doesn't Wanna know.
Our Society has made empathy, Real empathy, painful for most people. To understand Who you really Are now that you've examined yourself and shed a redundant paradigm of Self is almost impossible for most folks, because they can't imagine what they think of as the life they're Currently living being a sort of social performance.
Take a moment and consider that to anyone who's been affirmed all their lives that their paradigm of life is the Correct one, Social Agency is a novel and disturbing concept.
The cognitive dissonance that results from accepting the fact that people Do have agency over what makes up who they are is the result of Identity for so many people being tied up in Consumer Products.
You don't have a Place neatly outlined for you in the consumer ecosystem, therefore you must not be engaging in a Real Thing.
It's sneaky and subliminal but Pervasive.

re: Leftist fantasy question
@frostotron@tenforward.social Basically what I'm doing now. Making things, fixing things, acting as a councilor.
I'm a bit further right of most of my friends, I want to own land, have a farm and homestead, and run a chartered community with pooled resources and talent.
Because so many queer kids get abandoned by their parents and could use a place to crash in a treehouse or earthship for a year or two to learn some skills and get the kinds of support they need.
Incremental moves. Just remember that one of those Boomer big box houses can comfortably house ten furries.
@perfectblue@snouts.online I have known a great many dragons.
Our housemate, Duke, is a Titanium Dragon. Not very many of them at All.
He's 6'8", red blonde, blue eyes, and has a majestic sexy multicolored dragon form to match.
And he's Big and masculine and likes first person shooters and tech toys and guns and RC trucks and all that stuff that usually comes with being Horribly Toxic.
...Titanium remember? All the Male, none of the Toxic. And he's Dedicated Gay with a Silicon Dragon.
Dragon gender studies are always fun.
Dragons are always minmaxed. So they'll have a Strong Theme, with a Twist.
The big strong masc dragon who's actually a total bottom.
The big busty dragoness with curves and hips and smolder, as well as a bad dragon toy between her legs.
The smol round cute Kobolds that like coloring books and dancing and pretty jewelry but go naked 24/7 and have a society based on casual sex.
The Majestic, powerful dragons who are actually socially awkward and shy.
I think she just hates Pants and Jeans in particular.
Leggings are So much better overall. We had an argument in the thrift store the other day when I was salty they didn't have Men's skirts.
And that lead to three minutes of being Mocked internally, with the upthrust that Men's clothing is the 'Boring' section.
The stackup of Plurality and Seasonal Affective Disorder means that Gender for me is De-Facto like a Winter Coat.
I just go Male in the winter because Keri gets all avoidant and moody, and our favorite leather jacket means we're an eyepatch away from being Bishounen Big Boss.
This would cause Dysphoria, if Keri wasn't a Faerie. Usually looking in the mirror comes back with a 'Good goddess, we're Hot' from her. And she's a Lesbian.

I'm less concerned with my gender overall now, but more interested in HRT medication now, since I discovered that due to some manner of Cheatcode I have, it just Adds sexyness.
Like, no need to Pass as anything. I'll never be a convincing woman to cisfolks, but that's more or less meaningless at this point.
I wear skirts and kilts and leggings and girl stuff out all the time and get complimented. I live in a Pirate Art city that abbreviates to NB.
It's privileged, sure. Didn't know that a decade ago when I moved here, back then it was a Heroin and Crime capital
Southern Mass's local machine healer and part time witchdoctor.
Tiny motorcycles, magic potions, machine tools, progressive rock, trance states, and hand sharpened drill bits. Oh, and I read Tarot. Probably 18+ just to be sure.
