Let's do a re-introduction since I have been going through quite a bit of growth since the last one, and there are a lot of new people now.
Hi I'm Nix. I came out as trans earlier this year, but I've been on the fediverse for about five years now. I'm a software engineer and mom to five kids. I help run weirder.earth. I consider myself an anarchist but who knows what that even means.
What a beautiful, optimistic piece of speculative fiction.
I don’t hate dark SF, but sometimes it’s nice to read about the hopes and dreams that we still have for the tech we build.
Thanks for this, @naomikritzer. It was just what I needed today.
Just as you don’t go to the witch at the edge of town without already having decided to hex someone, you don’t come to the only trans person you know for advice without having already decided in the back of your mind that you’re going to make some big change. It’s a beautiful thing, to be the midwife of a million tiny transformations.
She really is just so pretty y’all. Like quite possibly the prettiest girl in the world.

It was her pride of work, she was working on a sequel and together we had another written project that was 90% finished for a first chapter in a series.
The money goes to the bellwether family as we figure out things like funeral arrangements, medical bills and all the extras.
Trans women should not be excluded from any women's spaces, even if it's just some of them. Even if it's sports. Saying a trans woman isn't woman enough to be in a women's space just plays into the genocidal rhetoric and playbook that the conservatives are using. If we acknowledge that this is a space for compromise, then the rest of our genocide is all about negotiation. I'd rather tear down all competitive sports before ceding a single inch to that agenda.
