@Incatoxication @awoo Totes! You get a local timeline that's nothing but friend shaped people :D

*plush*

@Newtaloo That is, by far, my favorite thing about Mastodon. :D

I've been trying to avoid becoming infected by the current trend, but I think it's just ha🍍🍍ened.

@ravenclaudia Oh no! It's got you, too?! 🍍 They seem to be spreadi-... oh crap. I🍍think I might have gotten inf🍍cted. D:

@ravenclaudia Suuuup! :D

@ravenclaudia Welcome!! ^^

@PK I've very much enjoyed my time here-- I hope you do, too! ^^

@PK Welcome! ^^

@Mycroft Gotcha, and that's totally fair. ^^

I didn't parse that subtext in your initial statement. I'd have agreed with the initial statement if it included "guaranteed confidential" between "direct" and "private messaging." ♥️

@Mycroft @gravecat Perhaps not in the same way Twitter does, but direct private messaging is a feature of Mastodon, and it does work fairly well so long as the message doesn't leave your home instance.

@gravecat I have both! Telegram is my preferred client, though. I'm "{@}Tixagon" there. ^^

@gravecat You can send something like a DM by changing the "status privacy" of a toot to "direct," though bare in mind we're on two different servers, so there's no guarantee of privacy.

@gravecat No worries!

I'm not comfortable with continuing this thread (I don't want to give the impression that I'm pushing you to talk; if it's not something you're up for, that's okay too!) so I'm gonna stop here, but if you want to chat more about it at some point, I'll be around. ^^

@gravecat How can I help? ^^

@gravecat That's cool, too! I've had the huge advantage of talking to a bunch of gender queer folks over the past few years and that's helped me construct a framework to better discuss this stuff.

If this is something you're interested in talking more about but you don't feel comfortable broadcasting, I'm happy to chat in private, too. ^^

@KawaSeadrake I haven't taken that test in a while, but I was maybe a point to the right of you on it when I did about a year or so ago. I've probably shifted left of that since then. ♥️

@gravecat We all make mistaeks and that's okay! :3

@gravecat In general, I suppose; as concepts. Or perhaps we should step back a few steps and ask "how would/do you separate the social construct of gender into differing categories?"

@gravecat Totes!!

Here's a starting point then: What are your thoughts on gender presentation vs gender identity vs gender expression?
