  • The more I think about it, the less I care about changing all my documents and shit. The name I use for paperwork basically never comes up in normal interactions, and when it does I genuinely just find it funny. Like, a security guard one time who said "huh, thats a weird name to give to a girl, what was your mom thinking!!" or an old ass man who looked at me like Im an alien when i-voted and he looked up my registration. Maybe I'm stupid cuz it might put me in danger or something, but after 4 ish years of being stealth, I don't even care about being outed anymore. Actually, I kinda wish I was more visually trans sometimes, because I know for a fact some of the people I work with and see every day don't know any trans people (or at least don't know that they know) and only hear about them on fox news and shit. Anyways... Ramble over, thanks for reading it :D













  • I don't post in this mega often, but I know from lurking around that you're the coolest people here 😎 The crackers are at it again, and I share a lot of the pessimism I see in this thread rn, but I also wanna say that having been here with this community since its inception, I've seen many, many, many struggle sessions (and instigated a few of them myself... im-vegan ) and this community genuinely has improved and grown incrementally each time in a positive direction. Obviously it sucks that we have to have these learning moments in the first place, and the pace at each change occurs is slower than any of us hope, but I have seen this community continually move in the right direction in a way I haven't seen any other online community this large do. Maybe it's cope, but just thought I'd inject some optimism into here... Idk.
