@unixroot buddy,

pal,

fellow traveler on this wet ball of gas and rock,

if I were upset, I would have expanded my blocklist without saying a word.

I am merely annoyed.

please attempt to comprehend the following:

popping out of the digital undergrowth unbidden and saying, effectively, "ah but you're incorrect and here's several reasons why" to strangers comes across as - at minimum - extremely rude and thoughtless.

@silverwizard I trust my fediverse admin *way* more than I trust some rando working for Discord or Facebook. Just sayin'.

Sexy is not a size or a number.

It's a mindset.

Find your sexy. The haters can get fucked elsewhere. 🤘

You are only temporarily abled.

This is not a threat. It is a statement of fact.

@siege If this is a reference, it flew clear over my head. Nah, the host of Behind the Bastards.

@siege ...Random assed guess, but: If it's Robert Evans I will laugh *so hard.* In a great way, to clarify.

It's so *heartening* to see younger-as-in-more-recently-realized trans folks reach milestones along their journey towards a more whole and comfortable self.

Doesn't matter how minor the milestone, celebrate it for the victory of self-discovery it is. You've earned it for fighting to be yourself when there's fuckers out there who want you to follow instructions and stop resisting.

Fire the cop in your head.

Become who you're meant to be.

@vantablack fuuuuuuck, condolences

formal education is inherently biased against those without stability in their lives.

Hi. I'm disabled, autistic, trans, and nonbinary. Like many people living under capitalism right now, I'm having trouble making ends meet.

I prefer monetary donations over Paypal, to more easily keep up on my medical cannabis needs. Same username as here, minus the @ plush dot city portion. As is tradition, forget the deadname.

If you'd rather have goods delivered, I have a wishlist set up on Bastard Bezos's Bargain Basement. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/20F0QGQ0KNBOL?ref_=wl_share

@anthropy holy fucking guacamole,

transdermal osseointegrated prosthetics are advancing along the path I thought they would when I first heard of research into how the texture of deer antlers were being used to model transdermal anchor surfaces that skin could bond with

@anthropy i am replying a second time to emphasize how huge this is

this is first-generation cybernetics

@anthropy IIRC, until EXTREMELY recently the biggest hurdle was getting skin to seal around the anchors - that might explain why cybernetics in fiction are so often depicted as requiring the augmented body to rely upon medication of some form, because just think about how dangerous and painful what's effectively multiple bone-deep wounds would be to just live with.

They found the solution by, no shit, studying the texture of deer antler where it interfaces with the skin.

casual reminder: no corporation is your friend. especially if they make that thing you like.

i don't know how else to phrase this thought so lemme just toss it out into the universe:

given the variety of jurisdictions where interacting with a minor *in any way* while trans opens transgender adults to legal harassment:

actual minors, you cannot control your parent(s) or legal guardian(s).

plural systems who count the ages of individual members, *please be specific with your age notations.* the law does not care about individual existence timers, just how long your body has existed.

in so many words:

a friend of mine was *legally prohibited from using the internet* and forced to register as a sex offender because the *parents* of someone she was trying to help decided to start legal shit.

she was *extradited to another state* because there was a warrant she didn't even know about.

last I heard she was facing constant harassment by the cops. and that was years ago.

all because she didn't know that this child was an actual literal child in the eyes of the law.

I don't want to interact with minors *because I do not trust y'all's parents and/or guardians to not be shitwagons about trans people.*

@robinsyl Yup. S'why I'm just outright stating the history.

We only know of one planet in the universe capable of supporting human life at this time.

Fascists wish to take control of it and eradicate the targets of their hatred.

Therefore, there is nowhere ultimately safe for those threatened by fascism to run. Besides which, many of those under threat cannot afford to run.

If you can't run from someone threatening your life, you must be prepared to fight for your very existence.

It is only logical to be antifascist under circumstances such as these.

And, a pair of reminders:

If you are not currently a target of fascist hate, that does not mean you will not in the future become a target of fascist hate.

One of the first book burnings performed by the Nazis was of scientific research into gender and sexuality.
