Big and small

Over the last few years, I’ve lost touch with a handful of folks I considered internet friends. This sort of thing happens all the time, of course. But more recently, I had two folks who I used to chat with almost every day block me on Discord. Normally, I don’t find getting blocked to be all that big of a deal. But when it’s people you thing you’re good friends with, and you’re not sure why it’s happened, it hits different.

Note to cis people:

If you watch and support Harry Potter series, you are funding the anti-trans crusade that is killing people like me and stripping away our rights. Experts have warned that in the US and UK the steps toward genocide against trans people are accelerating.

I ask:

Do you care more about nostalgia of fictional people?

or

Do you care about actual people like myself and our right to exist in society like you?

This isn't a trick question. Do the right thing please. #trans

Valve: “We need a credit card on file to prove you’re 18”

Me: “My account is 23 years old”

Valve: “That just proves your account is old”

Me: “A credit card just proves you know someone with a credit card”

I have a calculator that is correct 80% of the time. But don't worry, every time I use it, I check the results myself.

Cis people sometimes demand #trans people rigourously define what "gender" means and explain what drives us to embody a gender other than the one assigned to us at birth. If we can't do that, they say, how can they believe us?

But trans people shouldn't have to be philosophers and psychologists all wrapped up into one to have our experiences believed. 1/

Following on from yesterday's blog post about the new design for profiles coming in Mastodon 4.6... here is the video of @imanijoy recent talk at @fossdesign where they discuss the challenges and detailed thought that goes into the design of new features (and the redesign of existing ones). 🖌️
