@HeckTheCistem @laura

I pretty much agree with everything Laura said. I like when it's a space for people to queer gender and make fun of oppressive gender conventions. I dislike when it's used to mock or invalidate trans women, which sadly feels frequent to me. I've also had the experience of cis male drag queens treating trans identity like a costume or kink

@HeckTheCistem well there's a can of worms is my first impression. I generally don't like drag shows cause I've experienced a lot of transmisogyny in connection to that, but then it can also be really cool and for some trans women especially a space to discover themselves. So it's kinda hard. I stay away from it but also really appreciate how queer it can be when not pandering to hetero- or cissexism.

Mastodon public service announcement...

YOU CAN DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT!
(if your instance runs 1.4.3)

1) Go to *Settings*.
2) Click *Credentials*.
3) Look under the *Delete account* section, and click the "proceed here" link.
4) Confirm account deletion when asked.

This is better than creating an account on a capped instance, making 2 sad toots, then leaving never to return.

Clean up and free up so others can tee up.

i think people conflate identity politics with identity--politics reductionism. folks should be clearer that identity politics is good and central to materialist analysis but identity-politics reductionism (idpol that ignores class) is bad

This organisation does incredible things for trans people in Malaysia (all run by trans people) and they're raising money to set up a home for elderly trans folk: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/seed-t-hub-home-for-elderly-trans-people-transgender/x/11287#/

Hey, some folks have figured out how to spin text in toots. That's fine, but if the portion you're spinning leaves the display region then it starts taking on a strobe effect and might be an epilepsy trigger.

Therefore, please hide your spinning text behind content warnings.

can we stop discouraging young comrades? can we stop treating them like they aren't allowed to learn about leftist politics? can we allow them to utilize this space to learn about the things they aren't conventionally offered? can we do that pls?

I keep seeing MLM and thinking it's "men loving men" and not "marxist-leninist-maoist"

But really, it's awfully sweet of Twitter to drive more users in Mastodon's direction. Real neighbourly like.

For the record there are no co-founders of Mastodon. Not in a startup way (it's not a startup) nor in a development way (I started the project on my own)

PSA: antisemitism is never cool. Miss me with that shit. Bye for now.
