Hopefully nothing.

Some binding techniques use tape to keep things compressed.

Hopefully nothing.

Some tucking techniques use tape to keep things in place.

Top image: A woman and a man. The woman is wearing a simple dress and is entirely colored pink. The man is wearing a simple shirt and shorts and is entirely colored blue. Both arebin similar relaxed standing poses holding up the peace symbol with their hands. The woman is labeled transfems and the man is labeled transmascs.

Bottom image: The two people are now facing each other with closed eyes. Their right arms are wrapped around each other with their hands clasped. There is text that reads, "Oh my God don't use duck tape for that."

It would be. There's a grocery store near me that remodeled and changed their restrooms to individual rooms. Now there's just a bank of ~8 gender neutral restrooms. It's very nice.

License changes that will charge developers based on how many installs their game has instead of how many units sold.

It seems that locally hosted images are down. That'll be every uploaded image, thumbnails, profile image. Weird thing is that community icons and banners are still loading.

It starts with the small stuff. Find those tiny little things that bring you joy and start snowballing them.

I like that cis- and trans- mean on this side and on the other side. It captures a sense of motion I like. Homo- and hetero- meaning same or different doesn't do the same thing for me.

If you wanted to go Greek I would start with looking at dia- for across and maybe peri- for near.

Nope. But it might get old the nth time or if you didn't do something you think should of outed you.

It's kind of the paradox of being stealth. If you are successful no one notices. So you don't get feedback that you are successful.

No but there's a couple subtlies here. If you are calling someone brave, the context is important. It can come off as condescending. Also coming out isn't an all or nothing thing, see here.

Also in this comic they aren't saying they are brave for coming out. They are saying they are brave for being cis. The underlying assumption there being that being cis or trans is a choice that one can be brave for.

 

Image description: 4 panel comic titled If Trans People Said the Things Cis People Tell Them.

Panel one has an androgynous individual talking to a woman. The androgynous individual, "To me, you are 100% a girl, you know?" The woman has a look of confusion and disgust and responds with, "Wow, thanks."

Panel two has the same androgynous individual speaking with a man. The androgynous individual is saying, "It's so incredibly you look just like an actual boy!" The man is rubbing the back of his head in nervous confusion and says, "Yeah, I... am one?"

Panel three has the androgynous individual speaking with someone of ambiguous gender. The androgynous individual says, "I would never have guessed you were cis! Congratulations!" The other person is looking at them with an expression of confusion and concern.

Panel four has the androgynous individual speaking to a man. The androgynous individual says, "I think you are so brave for being who you are." The man is frowning at them.

Image description: Three stills taking from The Lord of the Rings stacked vertically to create a comic. The stills are taken from the scene where Frodo is wishing he wasn't the ring bearer. The images have closed captions with clear edits to change select words.

Frame one, close up of Frodo. Caption: I wish [my assigned gener] never came to me. I wish none of this had happened.

Frame two, close up of Gandalf . Caption: So do all who live to [transition.] But that's not up for them to decide.

Frame three, same close up of Gandalf. Caption: All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

I love this one too. I do wonder how my past-selves would react to me. There was definitely some internalized transphobia I had to deconstruct in my realization. I'm not sure how I would of reacted if I was forced to confront my trans-ness before I was ready.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This might be my favorite version of this trope. The knowing look from the future-self. The nervous confusion from the past-self.
