@[email protected] Yeah, I bet :( It's definitely something I'll keep in mind in case any of my trans girl friends start having symptoms of it!

@Gargron My home server is named Hex for that reason <3
@[email protected] Huh, interesting :) Would be fascinating to have someone study that, or to know what the link is (if any)! And yeah, I'm still suspecting that there's a weird networking issue between gravitas.cafe and switter.at :(
@[email protected] Hey so I still can't follow you on my main instance :( But this morning I came across a second person on OkCupid who both is trans/nb/GNC *and* has EDS, so that's 3 ppl with that combo including you. In fact I've never come across someone with EDS who's cis! And a friend says they know a trans girl with EDS as well. So is that one massive coincidence, or do we think there's some kind of link there? Cos that's kinda spooky :o
Hope you're doing well <3
@[email protected] Ah good! <3 I was worried you'd had to stop it for some reason, which'd hugely suck :( My local pharmacy had a missed delivery last month so I couldn't collect it, but they phoned me at 10am the next day when they got it in, so I was just 3 hours late taking it in the end :)
@[email protected] Sorry I guess I missed this - why are you off it? :( That sucks, sorry :(
I started Xaggitin XL (methylphenidate, sustained release, aka Ritalin) 2 months ago and it's been amazing, especially when I went from 18mg/day to 36mg a month ago. Not only am I getting at least twice as much done at work but I've even lost 8kg (~16lb) in 4 weeks because it's killed my appetite. I still struggle to get house work and hobbies done at the weekend though :(

Right, from now on I'll be using my account over on gravitas.cafe: @aziraphale
Follow me over there! :)
Somehow I'd missed that Wheton was a transphobic douchebagel, but this instance's protection of him over trans people will be accelerating my migration to another instance. Good riddance.
I'm already @aziraphale - I just need to move over there on this client.
SelfsameSynonymSo weird that everyone wants to take the time to make sure that a cis definitely did something bad for malicious reasons and call for restraint when outrage builds but can’t dispose of trans women fast enough when any random anon makes a claim about her.
Can you imagine what things would look like if trans women got even half of the benefit of the doubt that cis people get?
Sean M Puckett"if you don't like where you are, go make your own instance" is uncomfortably like "if you don't like your neighbourhood, build a house somewhere else" -- it presumes a whole shitload of privilege and resources.
Instead, it's much better to point people to the list of instances, e.g. the list of essentially free housing they can trivially move to. Just think before you say "just do [enormously difficult technical thing] lmao" like it's eating ice cream.
