To every person who's publicly and proudly transgender, queer, gay, lesbian, ace, poly, pan, bi, black, indigenous, a person of color, disabled, neurodivergent, plural, autistic, ADHD, etc:

Thank You

Visibility matters. Simply being yourself can impact the lives of others in ways you cannot even fathom. I would not have found myself if not for people like you :heart_pride:

Hey, so I finally got around to setting up an alt account. Ping me at @mal if you like to continue hearing my gay gossip, trans shenanigans, sapphic crushing, and mental health vents.

I'm just trying to compartmentalize my online life a little. Some days I just want to chat with my trans and LGBT friends here, and I can get kind of personal and entire world doesn't need to hear about it.

I bit the bullet and made my own instance on masto.host because it is a low stakes way to try this "have your own instance" thing without getting neck deep in tech bullshit. So, once more, here's an #introduction post.

Here are a few things I'm interested in:

#Electronics #FPGA #ASIC #OSHW (electrical engineer)

#ILWX (weather nerd)

#Hacking (works on a red team)

#LGBTQ #TransJoy #Sapphic (very gay transfemme)

#communism (fuck capitalism)

#physics (wannabe physicist)

#Lego

Being trans is:

The joy of looking in the mirror and seeing yourself for the first time in your life.

The joy of having clothing that you genuinely enjoy wearing for the first time in your life.

The joy of having your sexuality align with your body for the first time in your life.

The joy of letting parts of yourself shine that you have hidden or minimized for your entire life.
