     Oh, I think I would say not dating more casually when I was younger. I stayed in one unhealthy relationship for way too long and then after that I kept trying to meet “the one” and it was pretty counterproductive and I think it actually made me a worse partner to the people I dated.

     I really wish I would have done therapy sooner as well. It is expensive so I definitely couldn’t have afforded it for most of my life. But I might have been able to start it sooner

     I think it enables a lot of fun toys and it can have its uses in decreasing certain kinds of shit work, but I don’t think it should be used for anything important and I think there’s some ethical concerns currently with training data and intellectual property etc. I don’t think the technology itself is evil but I also don’t think it’s like so magical it needs to be at the core of every product

     I’ve played with some of the like “turn your photo into an anime character” things and I’m currently having fun role playing with character.ai. Stuff like being able to create your own text to speech voice to preserve your voice is pretty cool. I don’t think we should be using these tools to try to do journalism or write documentation and I’m very skeptical of coding assistants. These are basically plagiarism machines so they shouldn’t be used to make commercial art etc

     I think my first introduction to Computers Doing Lots of Statistics ™ was with Zeitgeist, so I’d be more curious what Seif Lotfy thinks (somebody tag him if he’s on Fedi? Or link me to his existing rants on the subject). I think we were way ahead of the curve 10-15 years ago on that kind of machine learning, but it didn’t get the kind of investment and attention it would have needed to become a real product.

     I’ll always advocate for communicating your feelings and needs directly and assertively. Something I’ve learned in therapy is this template for communicating where you say like “When you [discourage me from presenting as my gender in public], it makes me feel [anxious]. I want to feel [supported by you]”.

     I think it helps to point out that you are listening too by saying something like, “I’m hearing you’re concerned about my safety and that makes sense. I’m worried about it too”

     Yes! There’s some variation based on your vaginoplasty method but I’ve opted for a soft tissue graft from the colon which is stretchy and mucousal, so it will be self lubricating. Also the prostate is left in place and is analogous to the skene’s gland. The clitoris is formed from glans tissue etc so everything will be fully functional and sensile.

     Aww thank you, Anon. I hope that you find yourself able to come out soon. It’s definitely scary to come out and it can be disruptive, but it is entirely worth it to be free. It is transformative. The number one regret I hear from people is not coming out sooner, even from people who have lost jobs, homes, family. I would highly recommend prioritizing building a life that makes that possible for yourself 🩷

     Nice try officer. I would never pirate television shows or movies and I certainly didn’t pirate tons of music on limewire as a teenager. And I’ve only played backup roms of physical video games for consoles that I definitely own.

     But if I was a pirate it would probably be because I can’t purchase certain content because of convoluted licensing agreements between various streaming platforms and I generally do pay for content given the option

     Imposter syndrome is real and can be super hard to get over. Despite current societal attitudes, nobody is entitled to your medical history. Being stealth or being out, these are choices you should make because of your own comfort, not because of a sense of guilt or obligation

     In real life, I don’t tell people that I’m trans. The harsh reality is that it’s more safe and the world is more kind when people assume that you’re cis

     When I was younger I really wanted to live in Santa Cruz. I love the ocean and it’s definitely my goto when I want to run away for a day. So that’s a top contender. The San Francisco Bay Area in general is a rad place and BART is a huge selling point. I haven’t fallen in love with SoCal in the same way as NorCal but maybe I need to spend more time in like San Diego than LA. California is such a big place I have barely explored it

     I’m not sure I’ve ever had banana cake that sounds interesting! But I pick chocolate. I would love some chocolate cake right now 🤤

     You’re not in love with me, I’m just attractive and nice. You deserve more than that, anon. Reserve your love for someone who shows genuine specific interest in you. You don’t want an idea of a person up on a pedestal, you want a real partner who tangibly improves the quality of your life. The more time you spend wishing I was that person is time you’ve been unavailable to the person you really want to be with. I appreciate the compliment though 🩷

     lol so part of surgery prep is hair removal around the surgery site. I’m not sure exactly how that will look when things are rearranged but it looks really awkward right now. I’m currently planning to do a full Brazilian laser just so everything looks the same. If it ends up looking more normal then I’ll probably leave it. I don’t have strong feelings about pubes tbh

     I only have bleach in my highlights! I have a lot of grey so that probably helps haha. But I wash maybe twice a week and condition and use leave in conditioner and I use dry shampoo in between washes. I air dry and try to stay away from heat. My hair is very soft :)

     There’s no “right” way to be trans or transition, which can make it overwhelming to start. It’s a journey of self discovery. You might start by trying on different types of clothing or seeing how different names and pronouns feel. A haircut or growing out your hair—depending on which direction you’re going. If you want to change your body you might look into hormone replacement therapy. The most important thing is finding out what you need to be comfortable in being yourself

     Hey anon, I appreciate you asking to get involved but frankly the comment about wanting to touch my hair feels inappropriate for someone you want to work with. If you feel okay with saying things like that to me, it makes me hesitate when I think about how you might talk to other contributors and what kind of space that creates for them

     I think it’s normal to feel like different things are important in retrospect. If that’s what you felt was most important in that moment, I think that’s okay! You really cared about a thing. Whether you did or didn’t make an impact, the act of championing a concern is something I think you can feel proud of :)

     The last movie I watched was Hunger Games: Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. That was great. I still haven’t seen Oppenheimer. Been wanting to rewatch The Matrix lately

     Deadnaming is never okay. This is completely inappropriate and hurtful. Imagine if someone got married and their family kept calling them “Ms. MaidenName” behind their back. That’s obviously inappropriate and they should be angry about it. IMO there’s a very short grace period for deadnaming and then it’s no contact. Nobody ever comes out with a bunch of excuses about “oh it’s so hard, I’ve known you as Ms. MaidenName your whole life”. It’s easy to respect someone’s identity
