green except too damn hot @green@awoo.space

@reibeatall@octodon.social I can't promise that I'll be able to sign up right away--we're having a period of economic wobbliness for Reasons that's probably going to last until June. :/ but I'll send an email and follow!

@reibeatall@octodon.social I am interested! I have zero interest in cooking, but given ingredients in proper amounts and packaging I can usually manage to stick them in the oven or whatever and make them edible. I was ok with living out of boxed food for the rest of my life until gluten intolerance happened! Spouse likes to cook, but he can't cook every night. so, yeah! definitely interested! (and in Shoreline)

@001zlnv ... dammit you are tempting me. XD

@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. :|

@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

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.

hey y'all, if you follow me from witches.town and want to make sure I continue following you let me know just in case the list export thing doesn't work, I guess? also I'm sorry you're being put in an icky situation, I sincerely hope you can find a good place to be soon. <3
