Willy Wonka gets a lot of shit for basically employing "slave labor" with the oompa loompas. This is a reasonable, but naive and entirely incorrect conclusion.

Pause the film and read the long contract in the movie version of Willy Wonka. It starts with a red herring - an accident indemnity clause, how capitalist of him!!

After that, in much smaller print, it enrolls the children in a labor union for their natural lifespan.

Willy Wonka is a communist and criticism of how he runs his factory is capitalist nonsense.

even aside from the transphobia, socializing in a cishet space sucked ass (bad).

there's a certain misery that comes with meeting a new cis person... it happens during the few seconds while they kinda dumbly mentally process my existence into something understandable :knife_girl:

do cis people think they’re being slick with their transphobia?

yesterday i went to see some friends perform. after the show I was talking with a group of 3 of them, and this other guy i know comes over. he says hi to two mutual friends, introduces himself to the third person he didn’t know, and entirely ignored me for ~5 minutes.

also, notably, my cis ally friends said nothing while i stood there awkwardly, watching a grown man avoid making eye contact with the tranny with an almost panicked intensity

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

im worried about asking for a haircut style and my stylist sighing because it's not a real hair thing outside of anime profile pictures

even if it could frame my face cutely

uhm where do all the catbois hang out on fedi :blobpleading:

asking for a friend who basically needs to pet their furs and also scritch such as their ears :ablobpats:

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.

y'all my ex-wife got outsmarted by the pet rats. they have all escaped.

her recovery plan is "I put a ladder to make it easy to come home" and wait

I'm dying

mutual aid for lonely transfemmes (me)

cool feature of HRT is anytime I get angry I instantly become paranoid my testosterone levels have increased

The fucking impracticality of my kitchen organization is the strongest evidence yet that I'm plural.

My trans journey began with ancient knowledge - a bible, of sorts - passed on to me by a wise and benevolent possum

my life is awesome

anecdotally the site turn me into a girl has a 100% success rate :demigirl_potion:

boys are the undersized fuse that trips when you use your hair dryer and curling iron at the same time, then asks why it takes you so long to get ready
