Beans.Simon @beanssimon.bsky.social · 29/09/2026We teach our daughter to be suspicious of any man who claims to be a "good guy" and this is why. Cis men, by and large, do not know what it takes to be a good guy. There obviously are ones who do, but until I see more doing this... I won't trust self proclaimed good guys. 000
Beans.Simon @beanssimon.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Doing things the easy way? When I can have a new name? Pshhh... Anyway.

Got creative. 000

Beans.Simon @beanssimon.bsky.social · 18/11/2025How do you define "deliberately made themselves destitute"? When I was near homeless and trying to get on my feet, my sister tried to stop my family from helping.

Beans.Simon @beanssimon.bsky.social · 14/11/2025The last time I saw my sister (in 2020), she was defending Trump and I brought this up.

Beans.Simon @beanssimon.bsky.social · 11/11/2025I know why I didn't keep good records of my transition. Up until not that long ago, my life was a dumpster fire. I could barely function. It was A LOT.
