So this is why people are talking about Adobe. Get off that ecosystem and start using Serif's Affinity programs, now. No subscription bullshit. https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/7/20904030/adobe-venezuela-photoshop-behance-us-sanctions

From the article (published before the ads were rolled out): "Even if someone flinches because they think I am a man buying tampons, the idea that people assume all women bleed and men do not adds to the stigma transgender people face all the time."
I feel sorry for the trans writer they decided to parade around to show off how ~inclusive~ they are. I hope they got paid.
Ok, but one of the founding members of The Cure really did come out as trans later in life, which really explains everything
Robert Smith personally came into my house and told me to fuck gendered rules about makeup, hairspray, and liking kitty cats.
It was issued in the States with the title, "Boys Don't Cry", to really drive the point home.

Sadly, @privacyint found 76% of mental health sites studied had "had trackers for marketing purposes."
"Block 3rd party cookies, use... anti-tracking extensions, & do due diligence before filling out online mental health tests," says @MelanieHannah. https://gizmodo.com/online-depression-tests-are-collecting-and-sharing-your-1837876776

Cis people are running an ad campaign positing the shocking/funny world where men get periods.
Omg wouldn't that change everything. I bet tampons and pads would be free and easily accessible.
For these wacky men who have periods.
Who aren't humiliated and shamed for having periods.
If men had periods, society would bend over backwards for them and they'd talk about it. All. The. Time.
Like, I don't want a wife and kids and a house in the suburbs or anything, I think it's all obvious garbage (because of them), but the people who have that love to have a scapegoat, don't they? Somebody to project their little fantasies of deviancy on. Meanwhile, I just want what every Millenial wants: stable housing, decent enough money, and all the older people in my life to fuck off.
Sometimes I wonder if cis people look at me, a boring trans person with some mental health problems and issues with housing and are like, "That's a messy life, I bet he's a bad boy, I bet he loves drama" and just, like, project all this shit on to me when I just want to be left alone.
Just blaming me for all the dumb shit I've been through and deciding I'm the best person to throw more shit on, while they can front like they live ordinary lives because they're cis.
Trans, guy of center, well over 18.
I'm in tech and it feels weird.
