"trans girls don't get into computers because they think they're cool they do it to run away from their dysphoria. if you think computers are cool you haven't used them for very long" oh wow what an enriching little world-weary observation. why don't you start a fuckin substack about it

this is my experience. i'm better than you because i {lived longer/had more jobs/earned more money/insert lame excuse here}. therefore i know this to be everyone's experience. don't just validate my trauma, take it on as your own, or you're a bad ally. - the mastodon mantra

some people speak like online isn't "IRL" and i feel sorry for them but we live here and don't really need their attitude in the community

@aquinton

you can now tag @iconolog with a simple term query and get a best-match result for it

it very likely won't be a great match, but now you can get icons whenever you want

Mystery

PSA for my cis followers:

"Transwoman" and "Biological woman" are transphobe dog whistles. They're meant to try to indicate that trans women are not women.

Just remember: you don't say someone is a tallwoman or a blondewoman, she's a tall woman or a blonde woman.

And unless you're talking about a fembot, all women are biological women.
