#GEM #TransGEM

At the risk of making everything about my gender:

I'm on a bus home from derby practice. Monday practice takes place in Bumfuck, Nowhere, so there's only one person on the bus other than me, a young woman.

She smiled at me when I got on the bus, in a way a woman does not smile at a strange man, much less at someone who seems off or threatening.

And a little later she asked if I had a phone charger.

It's a very normal interaction without any deeper levels. Which is precisely why it made my heart jump for joy. Despite being very obviously non passing, I was read as a woman, and not a suspicious one (y'know, not "woman with an asterisk", as trans women sometimes are). And it was subtly reinforced by interaction. Intentionally, I think.

That's seriously all I need from the cises! Be friendly, show me I'm not hated, and if you can't muster that, leave me alone.

I don't want "special treatment", as TERFs claim. I want treatment as unspecial as imaginable. That's. The. Point.

This seriously made my evening :3

Coming up against a limitation of PureData/GEM which I think I encountered also 15 years ago.

I want to capture a scene filled with cubes to a texture so that I can apply effects like blur, contrast etc. The object to render a scene to a texture is [gemframebuffer]. To use this texture on another shape you send it to the second inlet of [pix_texture], which, I think, replaces the current texture with the new one (second inlet isn't documented).

The issue arises because you can't apply effects _after_ [pix_texture], only before. However, any effects I place before are overridden by the output of [gemframebuffer] being sent to the second inlet of [pix_texture].

So yeah, I dunno how to get around this.

One of the most unexpected and favorite things about transitioning for me...

Being a girl's girl.

Second favorite thing... being on the receiving end because nothing hits quite like a genuine compliment from another woman.
