what if, deep down inside, buried and repressed by a society that doesn't understand or appreciate "those" people... what if I'm... a frontend developer?

this is a bigger crisis of identity than that whole trans thing, css is way more confusing than gender

thank u fellow scientists and welcome to my dissertation on the uncertainty principle. it's impossible to know both the location of the television remote and your phone at the same time. any reduction in uncertainty of one must naturally increase the lostness of the other, and vice versa

we as scientists are still at a loss to explain the mechanics of this operation, but remain subject to the whims of a confusing god

Gotta think of an idea for a Mastodon tool so I can name it Darn Tootin'.

Feeling incredibly grateful to the women who have already been down this path. Everyone's footsteps made a path for me and I don't ever want to forget it.

So many doubts that come and some days come hard, it brought me to tears to search about something bothering me and just get page after page of "nah girl that's just transphobic nonsense"

Years ago in a now obvious misstep, I went to a testosterone clinic and the main reason I kept going back is the doctor looked exactly like Jeff Goldblum and I wanted to trick him into saying "life, uh, finds a way"

(I'm about 75% sure I'm only attracted to women but, well, I mean that percentage used to be a lot higher)

I just want an app that lets me see all the tootsies from the cuties I follow.

Fedilab fucking gaslights you by keeping your position but I still somehow am missing toots from people (I'll see the second half of conversations)

Tusky just doesn't even pretend, which is a bit more honest

(Tootsies are toots, I don't have a foot fetish or anything. Well, funny story, back in the day I thought to myself, "why do people like feet so much" so I opened up a private tab and

Maintaining my car is like my being trans. Ignore it until you forget the blinking red light is even on, then act surprised when the whole thing breaks down and stops functioning

(I have solved this by having an electric car and being a girl, respectively)

"i never said she stole the money"
will always be my favorite sentence because it can convey 6 different messages, just by emphasizing a different word

(I feel a little bad for NTs who probably don't even have a favorite sentence at all, or maybe it's a really basic one. idk never gonna understand how their brains "work")

ah, excellent, my desktop has decided to do that thing where it boots into dell recovery despite being perfectly fine

yes yes i know i shouldn't have trusted you once you called me "dude"

also I shouldn't have looked up how old that reference was

My best #bigtech memory is probably always going to be girlsplaining an admittedly obscure feature of python. To Guido van Rossum

DON'T WORRY I DUMBED IT DOWN FOR HIM

(btw? super fucking nice, said he had considered that and explained why it wouldn't work - all while literally every other person in the meeting was 👀)

In an attempt to be more forthright and honest, I told my manager I mostly went into the office because I needed to swipe some batteries.

not my fault she thought I was joking

First day back at work, found my razor and decided to shave for the first time since cracking and it's way more dysphoric then the unkempt beard.

related tangent: do most cis men own a pink epilator

I was working on a work presentation before christmas (and before cracking). Today I open it back up and the slide I was working on is just the title

"Transition strategy"

there is no reason I didn't use the word "migration" except my subconscious is an asshole and also kinda clever?

Scrolling through my feed and saw a non-trans person's post, I panicked for a second thinking I had gotten drunk and reinstalled Twitter

it's been so long since I've blocked someone I might be kinda horny for it? still not going back to bird tho

Feeling frustrated I didn't discover myself sooner, maybe the gmail username I want would have been available

just helping my ex-wife edit a blog about the "season of grief" she is in after her most recent ex-girlfriend in case you were wondering how weird my life is going :QueerCat_Trans:

Heard there was a great sale going on at the Lego Store.

People are lined up for blocks!
