At a wildlife rehab facility I met two crows that said, "caw" in a human accent. They said it like a human reading the word "caw" aloud. The tech shook her head and said, "they're making fun of us. People say 'caw' to them all day, so they've started impersonating us." I <3 crows

When I transitioned, back in 1992, we were warned away from spending time in public with other trans people, because more than one of you together would increase the chances your stealth would be blown. And stealth was a required factor.

So I learned to stay away from trans people. So did my peers - that's part of why you don't see many of us. We all went stealth, and most of us stayed there.

Now I enjoy having other trans people around. It's nice to have a community.

"Should Great Britain physically exist? It's an important debate and we need to win it"

I'm such a British ally :)

though the best moment at the museum was scoring the 8 ball on Eight Ball (1977), with 5x bonus, while playing against my sister, just before the place closed
