Chronically online programmer (full-stack / person most often flung at the weird new tech) and a historian with a PhD because that makes sense. All views my own and not my employer’s (or anyone else’s)

I swear to God if I have to see one more cis person trying to invent standards for trans women to participate in sports as if they haven’t existed since the 60s-70s…

So basically I have a PhD. I’ve had two careers in both my academic field and computer programming. I’m reasonably accomplished. And when it comes to babies and cats I apparently have one brain cell and it knows baby talk.

If you are not from Jersey or haven’t lived in Jersey you cannot comment on diner culture. Your state does not understand or experience true diner culture. You are an outsider to diners. This is not up for debate.

Skittish new cat goes missing for weird two hour block when she’s normally quite active. I get nervous and look everywhere. No dice. Decide to get some seltzer from the kitchen. Casually jump scared by cat while turning back from fridge. I paid for this.

today is trans day of visibility, and it breaks my heart to see the way the world is trying to turn these wonderful people invisible I am not trans, but the reason I have a voice on this platform is trans people, because they welcomed me and got me to stop lurking the way I did on twitter

So I had Cigna at one point back in my college years decades ago . My new employer, who has never had my deadname, uses Cigna. All good. Yay free to be quiet about being trans. Now some Cigna system is emailing me under my dead name for every claim. It’s like nails on a chalkboard.

For voice training I have tried working with: - An SLP - a musically trained trans woman known for her YouTube lessons (Zheanna) - An SLP / musically trained coach - Yet another coach This since before I started HRT (so over five years). All for no results. Any advice? I am desperate.

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

The story of this week is that millions of Americans were told in 2024 their lives would be improved if trans people's lives were made worse and I'm glad they're finally waking up to the fact that was never true to begin with--but trans people's lives are still getting worse

I have watched as so-called "compromise" positions on transgender people's rights have failed over and over--in statehouses, the Biden White House, and in liberal rhetoric. There is no middle ground acceptable to the politicians, activists, and billionaires obsessed with trans people and our lives.

Gavin Newsom is an incompetent transphobic centrist who is unfit for elected office. His repeated failures to protect the basic human rights of his own constituents is clear misconduct in office. He should be impeached immediately.

I wonder how many of my cis friends realize that the only way I can stop transitioning is if I die and ideally peacefully in my sleep of old age. Surgeries, therapy, and hormones don't end my transition but the fastest way to end my transition and kill me would be removing those as my resources.

jeff is correct but there is an even darker, underlying evil on the board. the actual goal here is to classify *our existence* as mental illness. "should trannies be allowed to have guns" is a door they want to open because it requires "trans == ill". this is a signpost on the road to genocide.

Let’s say this again. Read this carefully, line-by-line, so you don’t forget. Gender affirming care is not harmful to patients. In fact, it’s actually shown to REDUCE rates of suicide in transgender people by up to 70%.
