My first online username, back in the BBS days, was Cowman.

I am convinced this was a sign that went unrecognized.

got called a "great mom" by a dude as he walked farther back in the plane

joke's on him I'm into that shit

A tip to recent birdsite evacuees: it's safe and encouraged to ignore the explore page!

It's like news articles and cis white dudes being performative and boring. The ratio of trans posts to weirdo (cis) posts is way below the recommended 95%.

Not one femboy. No catgirls. No horny alts.

Just follow a few hundred trans folks and baby you got a stew going

really glad everyone else went to lunch because I audibly gasped, squee'd, and said "oh my god so pretty"

I was sure nobody would notice my pretty lavender socks but a coworker complimented me on coordinating my shirt, socks, shoes, and belt !

I WAS kinda proud tbh

Chatting with coworkers and complaining about dating: "I don't want to date a weirdo with mommy issues. I want to date a weirdo with, like, Linux device driver issues."

i didn't bring a blahaj with me on this trip to the bay area, and it was a mistake

emojis will have to suffice :blobhaj_trans_heart: :blobhaj_heartslove: :blobhaj_thedoctor: :blobhaj_heartrainbow: :Blobhaj_Ghostie_Alive:

I'm probably going to default to using the name Maive / Mae (my middle name). Since it's not legally changed yet, I could still switch the order around but

"Ginny Mae" sounds like a girl you want to know
"Mae Ginny" sounds like the beginning of a hex

idk maybe it is better to describe people as "not trans" instead of "cis".

it centers the description on what's normal (being trans)

tbh my ex-wife is far too comfortable making herself at home, at my home. I used to let it happen because I had no self worth, but now I do it because it's funny

Like right now, she was taking a nap on my couch but perked up when our 8 yo told her I would make them both breakfasts.

gnutella, an open source hazelnut spread

TIL if you are sad you can buy shoes to fix it !

well I'm still sad, but they haven't shipped yet or anything :transuwu:

My 8 year old read this post over my shoulder, and it has become the defining fact to her about being transgender.

(to avoid confusing her I don't bring up that she's named after a character from a John Green novel)

picking out an outfit is an np-hard problem

the ad targeting isn't wrong per se, I do indeed have low testosterone

... but I'm not gonna buy your overpriced vitamins with a picture of a bull on the bottle

my house is a cluttered mess from moving but I think it's been too long for me to blame moving still

*sigh* better get started on that nap

My ex keeps giving me "helpful" advice on things to change or hide about myself to get dates

and it's like... last time I did that I ended up married to someone who hated everything about me... so no thanks I'd much rather be alone

and anyway my type of people don't immediately dismiss awesome art "because it has a dragon"

they'd think it's rad and then we'd make out under smaug's penetrating gaze

I'm gonna name my six blahaj after my favorite queer people that live inside my phone (if they don't mind)

Worried and excited this path leads me to owning 250 blahaj~~~

:blobhaj_hug_full:

it's time for my annual "inclusive workspace" training at work~

this same week they added "men ONLY"/"women ONLY" signs outside the single occupancy (and previously gender-neutral) bathrooms

but make ME take the class, sure

i think there is another recently cracked egg on my team and if that fucker steals my thunder i'm gonna be so pissed off
