there was a huge gender gap in STEM and now you’re mad at trans people? I swear to god it’s like you haven’t even met an engineer, they see a problem and they fix it

some cranky old (sidenote: I partially say “old” because literally nobody under the age of 50 has ever said “PC”, the last time someone unironically used the term “politically correct” was 1998.) person on reddit complained “is trans women not the PC term nowadays?”

and I responded with the basically nonsensical “actually most trans women are on linux” and ASCENDED TO VALHALLA, MY EARTHLY JOURNEY COMPLETE

for me it’s the funny crab

whenever any marginalized group has a day of visibility I always look forward to that moment at 11:59 where they start to go transparent and tell you to look for them next year before winking out of existence before your eyes

i maintain the identity associated with the bits I was born with, and also, am very good with computers

that is to say, I’m a cis admin

if you get 8 people with clearly defined gender in a room together, you have one byte of gender binary
