I don't want people to assume that I'm a man or that I'm a woman when they first see me. When they see me, I want people to fear for their life

One of the assignments that my sociology professor repeatedly gave (despite no one doing them) was to map the different counties of the world based on the natural resources they had in abundance. He wanted us to recollect and relate those names whenever the USA went to war.

The CIA is literally a worldwide enemy of democracy.

After a few conversations, here's my conclusion:
1. There's no AI/ algo here controlling the flow of what people view.
2. Birdsite's AI/ algo (perhaps intentionally?) favors content with high emotion/ confrontation/ anger because it elicits reality-TV reactions
3. My content (like me) is very non-edgy, non-confrontational. I'm happy to be sweet, analytical, funny and soothing.
4. Therefore, I'm invisible on birdsite, and the absence of an algo actually favors #chill #pleasant content here.

The witches in #Discworld are awesome. 😀 It's a lot of how I aspire to live (calling it a "philosophy" is wrong since Granny Weatherwax'd be the first to say "what are you like").

Making robot noises while you walk is #transhumanist praxis

Every trans person experiences gender differently

You might find being trans painful, or something compulsive you couldn’t help but be

But other people may have found being trans more benevolently, by just experimenting and finding what made them the most comfortable

These experiences are not the same, but both are valid. And one is not better than the other, and one does not invalidate the other or say anything about what the other experiences

Land speed records are laughably false. Anyone can tell that land doesn’t move very much at all

hey so we're gonna be taking a flight in a bit under a month. it'll be like, our third time ever flying, and our first since being on estrogen or being an adult, so we know we should probably expect that they will sexually assault us for having a suspiciously not-binary-gender-matching body (if the process isn't wildly different when we use a wheelchair)

so, uh. can we get info on what to expect going through security on this front? ways to keep calm and if not avoid being triggered, at least ride it out and try not to be in too awful of shape?

additional note: we have a passport card with us as "female" and we think we're gonna only show that as our ID everywhere. we think this is a decent idea and should at least be slightly less awful misgenderings?

we were also gonna ask if ppl have experience traveling with a wheelchair but we think we've met like 1 other chair user here so w/e.

please, folks, i am begging you. please look at the replies of a post before you reply and say the same thing 17 other people have said before you
