Picrew avatars are good and nice and a fantastic option for people that want something custom made to express themselves but can't/don't want to commission art for whatever reason

And you shouldn't be mean to people who use them

my primary coding language is modern JavaScript and Node, but my Python isn't too bad either

Anyone else feel like SEO saturation -- and especially saturation by products, product shills, and content farms -- has made web searches way less useful than they were 5-10 years ago?

On transition 

โ€œBeing a transgender woman in the world can be challenging at best and deadly at its worst, so you know itโ€™s not a life change that you go into for any other reason but absolute necessity.โ€ -Amy Ray on Laura Jane Grace

I really find this take annoying, perhaps because it is such a widely held belief. While transition has proven to be one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life, I donโ€™t relate to this characterization. I know itโ€™s true for some people, and I am glad they find it works for them, but this kind of universal narrative is the type of thing that delays transition for people.

I didnโ€™t wait until the pain was unbearable to do it, all I waited for was understanding what I was experiencing.

Thereโ€™s something really dark though that says one can only transition as a last resort, and I just never saw it that way. When I realized I was trans I saw the opportunity for happiness and I chose it, I actively chose it. It was and is not something I backed into.
