how slow electrolysis progress happens and having to not shave frequently is waaaay more painful than the repeated electrocutions /gen

electrolysis week 6 out of neverending torment

Muting words knowing full well I’ll just view the posts anyway

me: "even if i'm not biologically trans I still want to look like a girl and dress like a girl and have boobs and be named ginny and stuff. but I'm not actually trans so I was worried that ..."

my transfem therapist's facial expression: "girl, what the fuck are you even talking about right now"

(later I clarified these rules of course only apply to me; it would be transphobic to not accept anyone who sincerely believes they are trans as being trans. the facial expression became bewildered in addition to the frustrated confusion)

your girl gets honest and messy in her github commits

I remember cross dressing literally* in the closet, looking at myself in the mirror and thinking “I wish I could look that pretty”

being an egg is a hell of a ride

• • “literally” here is meant both literally and gen z literally (ie, metaphorically)

the sharkey web app works surprisingly well, even notifications!

the only thing I miss from using a native app coming for mastodon is the ability to AI-generate alt text (as a starting point), which is one of the very few AI functionalities I think is a good thing

met an old work mentee for coffee and he surprised me by showing up with long hair and a genderqueer vibe

and i thought my fetishes were weird, cis ppl are kinky

yeah this completely tracks with my experience

ok hi ginny is over here now again :)

thinking about creating a discord server to find queer furries to play webfishing with

For a while I was mentally drafting my work goodbye letter and the most polite draft was this:

“I’ll be back when the billionaire class realizes they can’t replace us with AI no matter how much they juice their internal metrics. It will be more expensive because y’all’s shit will be burning to the ground and I deserve hazard pay for dealing with the toxic garbage you are deluding yourself as progress 😂”

I have now been stared at through an entire meal by a weird man from across the restaurant

our waitress said I looked like I would enjoy the pink mug (correct)

what the the social norms for when it is appropriate to remove an ex’s account from your media server

So many pretty custom emoji again eeeeeee

i forgot how overwhelmed i get with the sharky ui :spinnycat_trans:

also hi!!

Confession: sometimes I read “acab” and struggle against my desire to alphabetically arrange the letters

all are bastards, cops

I shit you not, since transition the hardest part of my job is convincing men to make good choices and the most important skill set is parenting strategies.
