look, having boobs would be nice and all, but sometimes a girl just wants to be an endlessly mutable roiling mass of eyes and teeth. why can't endocrinologists get to work on HRT for that?

Americans explaining why socialism doesn't work:

question for all the techies out there: where do i buy #linux ?

when will they make HRT but for growing fangs?

some intern is having a big mood lmfao

- Some people put pronouns in their profiles.

- Some people get misgendered a lot when they don't put pronouns in their profile, and put pronouns in their profile so they get misgendered less.

- Some of those aforementioned people are trans people.

- Bigots like to pick out things that the subjects of their bigotry do as "weird" to justify their harassment and abuse.

- When cis members of a community put pronouns in their profiles, harassment for listing pronouns becomes less. Anti-trans bigots are more hesitant to do it because doing so feels less socially acceptable; pro-trans people are emboldened to speak out against any such harassment that does occur. Further, trans people feel safer putting pronouns in their profiles.

- Not every cis person is comfortable or safe putting pronouns in their profile. (Not every 'cis' person is cis.) For that matter, not every /trans/ person is comfortable or safe putting pronouns in their profile. For some people, it's a no-brainer to include them or not; for other people, it's a hard choice, and they're the only ones who can make that choice.

- We talk about putting pronouns in profiles because we want people who've never thought about it to realize that it's possible. We can't make a choice for them, but they can't make the choice if they don't know there's one to be made, or what they're choosing between ... so we talk about it.
