Bio

i post for attention and affection (it's a youngest child thing): memes, tech rambles, newly acquired domain names, and short irreverent nonsense i think is funny. ymmv.

seattle based. single parent. self-unemployed after >20 years in big tech

created 1st mastodon account: 2022-12-22
found out i was a girl: 2022-12-22
(former was causal to the latter)

i don’t use ai in my writing because it capitalizes words, and also because writing is the fun part for me (you do you!)

Hi I’m Ginny and a new server means new #introduction post!

I spent the first decades of my life as a generic white boy in tech. A few months ago I signed up for my first fedi account and quickly discovered I was a girl! What!!

If you like quirky, confused girl memes and posts about the inscrutable behavior of cis folks ~ you should probably follow me.

I also post about all the stereotypical girl stuff: videogames, linux distros (fedora ofc), transgender stuff, programming, reading, writing, being actually autistic, and shoes. I like shoes a lot.

While I haven’t done anything shareable recently, I write fiction and also the occasional trans101 post for cis folks. “You seem to be running your own custom build of crazy, maybe you should write about that” ~ a former writing instructor

I’ve made a lot of friends on fedi and want to keep making more! If you ever want to chat, need shoe advice/pictures, or just need some one to listen <3. My contact stuff is on my profile :). I’m kinda shy and don’t always know what to say but I continue to try :P

I’m a single trans parent of an 8 year old girl (the source of my most popular post ever), and continue to work as a software engineer in the Seattle area. More deets on my pronouns.cc page or personal website: fr.wtf

secret: i like head pats and being flirted with

Fedi is basically a forum except you can only read the posts in chronological order, then sometimes when you click into a thread you only see a third of the posts.

People making the design decisions cannot be using this like normal (ie, trans) people do.

Today in awkward transphobia: guy inside restaurant notices me walking toward entrance, he leaves through the entrance door to hold it open for me (already awkward), clocks me as trans, stands confused holding and blocking the door for a good 20 seconds, goes back in while closing the door.

I wait for all that then enter like a normal person
