I listened to some ergonomics person in the office and stood at my desk for years. Now I have a varicose vein. Which it seems might be caused by standing too much. Thanks, ergonomics person.

Love Dax, always felt a connection with the character. I’ve also been both, at least in the way it appeared.

I was a bit into my transition when a colleague started explaining the basics of VHDL to me after I had pointed out to him that the bug in his design had all the hallmarks of an off-by-one. (Thanks, buddy, I have a postgraduate degree in this). I was so baffled because that sort of stuff had never happened to me before.

Then he was going over the code and explaining how there is no off-by-one when I pointed out that his integer type was indeed one bit smaller than it needed to be.

He of course tried to take credit for fixing that bug, but guess which girl was the one with merge permissions in gitlab.

I’ve also had several men try to explain to me how the vending machine in the office works, even as I was using it. That one gives me a laugh every time.

This bill is part of Project 2025 and the aim is to make it illegal to be a trans person.

If I know my American movies right then that is where they will put Luigi

People speaking over me has indeed always been a thing, both before and after transitioning. The mansplaining otoh started after I came out and started hrt.

There is no ethical reason to start inventing even more gatekeeping measures. Might as well start using horoscopes.

Glad to share! I’ve been using this recipe for over a decade. :) Here it is: https://www.cooks.com/recipe/b35cq61x/holiday-apple-pie-1968.html

Apple pie! My favourite recipe uses lard, of all things. Really delicious and it works as long as there are no vegetarians. ☺️

Me too! Even though I was a deeply closeted and repressing trans girl in the 90s, I sooo appreciated Sally’s experience of going from living as an alien to living as a woman and discovering womanhood, living together with others who knew her background. It’s even more relatable now that I’ve done it myself.

They clearly just want us to be nowhere and they are using sports as one excuse to accomplish that.

There is no magic to being assigned female at birth. A girl I know was assigned female at birth until the doctors decided to forcibly reassign her as male two weeks later. It took about 25 years of her life for her to fix their mistake and start living as the woman she always was. And in the end she is an AFAB trans woman.

Why is she against asexual people, though? I don’t think she makes sense and that trying to make sense of her is a mistake.
