Bio

trans girl living in seattle. single parent. self-unemployed after 20 years in big tech.

my main account is @gintoxicating where I post tech inanity, memes and shitpost (open to ~all followers)

this is my smaller alt mostly limited to gender people and other varietals of queer. sometimes a cool cishet slips by, and they should be proud both now and in a few months when they realize they're a girl :hatched_trans_egg:

I’ve been very subdued and dulled lately as a survival mechanism/trauma response (iykyk and my trans girlies at least probably do 😊), and I’ve started to carefully push back against that tendency.

It’s hard navigating the world as a trans woman, and if I don’t stay selfaware enough I slip into old patterns that served me well in the past or, more frequently now, serve others at my own expense.

When I get this way, I get quiet. I hide from everyone - even the friends and community I know I need. They don’t seem stable and safe; too present in my mind is that one small misstep and everything falls down once again.

Anyway that was kinda heavy so I’m gonna go get some pancakes with my daughter now, hope u enjoyed your dose of ginny lore :cat_is_blob_and_trans:

im staunchly against the death penalty but trans women should be able to descend en masse upon a man who says ‘men/transsexual women’ five times in their 500 character bio and enact whatever their favorite type of murder is. or just whatever murder vibes they are feeling that day, sort of play it by ear for the more improvisational types

everyone on Queer Fedi deserves to learn what a context-collapse attack is, how it works, and why it's so prevalent across social media.

I've personally received all sorts of wild accusations - from queerphobia, to gender essentialism, to participating in harassment campaigns, to outright being called crypto-fash - from people who read a handful of keywords in one of my posts and decided to react negatively based upon those words, with no regard for the context in which I used them.

given an excess of information, and especially when we're abuse or trauma survivors, our brains are geared toward skimming what's available to us and rushing to judgment based upon our knee-jerk interpretation of bits of information that may not be the whole picture. this tendency has been the avenue for all sorts of lateral violence in queer social media spaces.

I tried eyeliner and from what I can tell this product is an elaborate punk because no fucking way anyone can put this around their eyes without looking like a raccoon with a neurological disorder (no you cannot see)

I kinda miss seeing the meta dramas because they reminded me of old shows before cell phones, where the central problem could be solved with a 30 second conversation if people would just use their words at each other.

Sort of getting mentally prepared for my thanksgiving trip to visit my family…

  • estranged dad, fortunately he’s out of it most of the time. He’s a Trump boy and from stories I’ve heard is probably an egg that rotted because it never cracked

  • troll conservative brother, who is generally not badly intentioned but see the first part of this sentence

  • (possibly) my estranged brother who I hear recently bought a tesla 🙄. When I came out he asked me if I was sure given how dangerous it is (iirc something along the lines of the only type of people more hated than trans women are Black trans women), and then never checked in on his little sister the past 3 years.

  • going to NC, even in RTP, is kinda spooky

  • general anxiety for my first time flying/traveling anywhere in over 2 years

  • one time I saw a really big spider there, like problematically large

  • “supportive cis people” (iykyk)
