hey fedi, asking for a friend (genuinely): can I get some affirmation that masc presenting enbies are valid and enby and that this whole perception of enbies as basically women lite sucks for everyone?

#Nonbinary folks don't owe you a particular presentation of self.

1. Androgyny is cool but not for everyone.
2. Nonbinary is not code for "weak, like woman".
3. It's okay--perhaps even good!--if you can't divine someone's gender presentation from their appearance. We have language for that.

Happy nonbinary day!

“HRT let me be present in my body and present at school. I started to make friends. I learned to play D&D!” (cheers and laughter from the crowd)

“People in power want us to feel helpless but we are so much stronger than they are and so much braver than they ever could be”

“This is what the TERFs and the Tories are afraid of. Testosterone gel. Smells like hand sanitiser and it dries clear”

@lazerwalker
I adore your idea. When i made my ergo keyboard(s) i just put them on a board on my lap but this is way better.

mildly self-deprecating 

@phseiff
I think you are a very awesome being, online and in irl physical space.

"To create something as a trans woman is to extend oneself beyond the carnal. As our ideas of gender shift, the creativity of trans women is making this change known and felt. As cis people at large begin to feel this shift, they are already reacting to us. We are being kept out of bathrooms, shelters, and history. A trans woman defending herself through creativity is a way to ensure the cisgender gaze no longer controls us."

ableist trauma 

Ableist trauma is having learned to reflexively make up excuses why you didn't do something, because nobody ever believed you when you told them the truth.

joke about impostor syndrome, not serious 

@phseiff
ah i see.. do you benefit from affirmations/deconstructing premises?
if you do:
there is no right or wrong way to be any gender. you don't have to perform gender at all time. nobody knows you better than you.
its normal to feel these things. i hope you can find the self security you are looking for.

(my agender perspective on gender makes it look like a skill sometimes)

personally my fingers lock up and "jump" less since i built myself an ergodox. so i would say there are effects.
my problem is EDS tho, not carpal tunnel shenanigans.

ableism, the first rule of thumb we want everyone to learn 

don't use medical language as an insult

that's names of personality disorders, developmental disorders, widely-documented neurodivergences, classes of injury, none of it

go ahead and get rid of references to drugs, too, while you're at it

talk about what people do and are doing and keep doing, not about what medicalized group you assume is sufficiently inferior to 'normal' people to do what they do
