On International Women's Day, a perpetual reminder that Trans Women are Women, and embracing them in your feminist space in no way limits or harms it. On the contrary: it grows and enriches it, and shows that you are women who will not allow cruelty and fascism to divide you in your quest for equal rights.
They also generate massive EM fields that can be a significant static discharge risk to anything in the vicinity.
I try not to talk about this much cause Iβm very private not cause Iβm ashamed.
After years of being ashamed & made to feel like something was wrong with me & that it was a sin or burn in hell for being attracted to women, just like Iβm attracted to men, I no longer give a flying f*ck what anyone says or thinks about me being a bisexual woman.
Thatβs your problem not mine.
Iβm living my truth & it has set me free & made me feel like I am π― me.
I'd settle for a nationwide protest of just one or two issues, as a start.
It is now and in Ukraine that the future of the UN is being decided - Volodymyr Zelenskyy following the meeting with AntΓ³nio Guterres in Kyiv
Welcoming AntΓ³nio Guterres, the Head of State emphasized that Ukraine was now at the forefront of a real war for the principles underlying international law.

Hello world! Elon Musk picking a twitter fight with Icelandic philanthropist and man of the year 2022 Haraldur Thorleifsson ended up being the final push that we needed, so now we are here on Mastodon. We don't know how any of this works, but follow us for posts on vision science, cognitive psychology, cognitive science, cognitive neuroscience, and stupid memes.
I stand with my trans brothers & sisters.
I stand with my fabulous drag queens.
I stand with my fantastic gay brothers.
I stand with my defiant lesbian sisters.
I stand with my fellow bisexual brothers & sisters.
I stand with everyone in the #lgbtqcommunity.
I see you.
Youβre validated.
Youβre strong.
Even if I donβt know you, I love you.
I can't count the number of times I've answered the phone and been asked if Mrs. [last name of hubs] is available. I usually drop my voice half an octave and say "I'm as close as it gets, how can I help you?"
One time the guy got so rattled he hung up. Most just stammer.
ughhh got misgendered on the phone by 3 people. Not their fault, my voice is on the high end, they're from another country and likely don't know that "Kevin" is almost exclusively a man's name. I didn't bother correcting them, that leads to confusion and additional identity verification and I'm never going to talk to them again.
On the other hand, animals sleep in the dirt and eat their food raw, so there are perqs to being human, and working.

Drag queens and trans men/women are not hurting children.
Gay men/women are not hurting children.
You know whatβs/whoβs hurting children?
Guns
Trusted adults
Bullies
Poverty
Hunger
Lack of access to healthcare
No one to talk to about problems
Opiate overdoses
The list goes on.
Stop trying to play with peopleβs emotions by hiding your prejudice behind the guise of protecting children.
This is exactly why I'm such a staunch advocate for #TheOxfordComma.
(It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.)

So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
