Why do you think is it that seemingly we as a community all get basically the
same starter pack when trying out feminine clothing for the first time? Like I
feel everyone gets a black and/or pink skater skirt, black-and-white thigh
highs, an oversized shirt with print, a black crop top, a cropped hoodie and
either black arm sleeves or mesh sleeves. How did that start and why do so many
start out like that? Edit: Not that I think it’s bad or anything. It’s fine to
have a go-to and I even think these starter pack items look really cute. I still
like wearing them. It’s just kind of odd to me.
What is your response to people saying "data privacy doesn't matter because it's all out there anyway"?

I have neither time, resources nor know-how to like go all out on data privacy.
But I try doing things like using Proton for Mail, browsing with DuckDuckGo or
Ecosia, messaging on Signal instead of WhatsApp, etc. But I’m having a hard time
responding to people who say “why do you do that, it’s completely pointless
since companies like Google have all of our data anyways unless we go all out,
and nobody has time for all the effort that takes”.
What are commonly used idioms/metaphors that make no sense to anyone who knows about the topic they come from?

What I mean is like for example, a person having “gravitational pull” or someone
making a “quantum leap” makes no sense to anyone who knows about physics.
Gravity is extremely weak and quantum leaps are tiny. Or “David versus Goliath”
to describe a huge underdoge makes no sense to anyone who knows about history,
because nobody bringing a gun to a sword fight is going to be the underdog but
that’s essentially what David did. I’m looking for more examples like that.

There’s a lot of musicians who are huge in Europe, but not in the US. Robbie
Williams, Anastacia, most of Eurodance,… What musicians are the other way round?

How would you put into words what gender means to you apart from societal gender roles and expectations?

I know that it has significant meaning to me but I struggle putting it into
words to explain it to other people (especially other dya cis people). So like a
few years ago I was thinking about if I may be trans femme. I have since
realised that no, actually I was just struggling with it for a while because I
don’t relate to the gender roles and expectations society puts on men. I now
identify more strongly with being a man than ever before, and I love being a man
in a gender-way. I just absolutely hate being a man in a “what role men have in
society”-way.
