robots in gender disguises
@001zlnv ... dammit you are tempting me. XD
TERF vs. trans weirdness
@polyplacophora from what I've seen, there's a fair contingent of TERFers who are--frustrated/repressed trans folks, and they even *talk about it* sometimes, like "I was wrong about my gender and THEREFORE SO IS EVERYBODY ELSE." and I've seen several trans folks who came over out of the TERF trenches. it's almost like the virulently homophobic preachers that have lots of gay sex, you know? denial is a thing, and it can cause a lot of collateral damage. :|
robots in gender disguises
@001zlnv hahahah, no, that's kind of awesome. XD I've been thinking about the whole Transformers gender thing (since, basically, grade school) and it'd be kind of awesome if their "genders" were "land" and "air" and "assigned helicopter at assembly" was a thing.... that's one of the very few spins that could get me interested in the Transformers universe, tbqh. XD
@hvee tbqh claiming my gender as "dragon" comes pretty damn close, imo. :D
food, disordered eating(?), substance abuse (-)
@senemura@occult.camp I don't have anything to really help here, just that I was thinking the other day that it'd be nice if we could swap the "ooh this tastes good" responses to sweets, salts, and fats (which worked *really really* well for our ancestors) to, I don't know, vegetables and nuts. :/

WE ARE HERE. WE ARE VALID. some of us have been here all along. some of us only just now got here. some of us will stay here all our lives, some will drift away. some are Extremely Out, others are Extremely In, but WE ARE ALL VALID.
and if somebody wants to say their gender is "assault helicopter," then GRATS YOUR GENDER IS ASSAULT HELICOPTER I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT. if they're willing to commit, I'm more than willing to let them have it.
that said: as an enby person myself, ENBY PEOPLE ARE VALID AND REAL. AMAB? AFAB? ATAB? (Assigned Toaster At Birth) ACAB? (wait I don't think that's) it doesn't matter where you come from, it doesn't matter where you go. GENDER IS A SPECTRUM, and there's a *big* chunk in the middle of that which is EnbyLand, not some tiny sliver that's just exactly the right shade as allowed by Some Internet Asshole.
about the latest kerfluffle, I just gotta say--it's *serious* bullshit that "it happened" (e.g. "a person decided to spout it") THE DAY AFTER Day of Trans Day Visibility Day. it's entirely possible it was prompted by something the author saw on DTDVD (yes that's the official name now shut up), which is rather like taking the opportunity of MLK Day to be a horrible racist, which YES I KNOW PEOPLE DO THAT ALSO because PEOPLE.
Some people on Mastodon discovered my horror movie poster generator and it makes me so happy they’re enjoying my odd humor bot. http://purviance.com/horrorinator/

@Austin_Dern @mawr @porsupah I dreamed that I was having a lucid dream, but I didn't actually get lucid. I wonder how that counts? :P
