If you're #young, #trans, in the US (in the Winston-Salem area would be amazing!) and willing to help us with a bit of acting, please drop a line to [email protected]

We've made a video explaining how countries make immigration decisions and how you can work within that system to get yourself out of the USA.

Took me a bit and I am a little drunk but here are the totals. We had a good showing.

Note: some comments got cut out because the server doesn't like displaying more than 300 from what I can tell. I did my best with what it would show, I just sorted them by new. This should be fairly representative of the currently active userbase. As an aside, I believe we did a similar survey a looong time ago, and we had only 33% of the active userbase as trans.

Random thoughts:

A lot of people were very very cute and confused and essentially asked me to decide their gender for them. Eggs? Probably. This isn't Harry Potter and I'm not a hat so I just went with what they were sounding more convinced of.

A lot of people are even cuter and don't understand how to follow instructions, though some of this is my fault. Made this a little harder to organize.

Some people were not cis and did not identify with the words 'transgender' or 'gender diverse'. If I ever do a trans/adjacent survey again, I think I will ask 'Are you cis?'

I may do a survey for queer people overall eventually, and the question will be 'Are you cishet?'

I would love to do more scientific, inclusive polling and have better and more questions and options, but we need some good secure polling tech for that, which we don't have. So I just have to ask simple questions and get a handful of answers.

Next time I will look into how feasible it is to post a couple of comments and get responders to upvote certain ones. This might fix the issue of the display of comments being limited.

Since some people have two sets of pronouns, both of their pronouns are included separately.

Since the poll was public, some marginalized groups probably shied away from answering. If we ever get a secure way to poll people, we would get more realistic estimates of the trans and cis women userbase.

Yes: 121 
No: 137
Maybe: 37 
Total: 295

If you think something is fucked, you can do it yourself, the thread is public. Hope you like pie!

My family's country but based

Had to deal with a shitty coworkers microaggressions and I called her out on it. She immediately got defensive so I dropped it, but my non-binary coworker just walked by and said "cis people" and it completely flipped my mood around and made me laugh really hard.

honestly i don't even know i think i'm just going to chug all 3

Hey, we haven't been able to find a secure way to poll everyone yet, and I've really been itching to ask everyone this question so we can get updated numbers on our trans population here. This isn't going to be scientific or anything, but just a quick guess.

Please respond to this post with a 'yes', 'no', or 'maybe'. If you have anything to add, please use a spoiler tag below your answer like so:

Remember to respond even if you are cis.

I am still in shock about this. I've always talked to myself. Don't know why, just do, and I was doing it as I always was. While I was just talking to myself at work, I had to stop myself after a while. My voice was suddenly really light and pitched about 2-3 octaves up, and I have zero fucking idea where on earth it even came from. Does it pass? Does it even sound femme or just really high? I have zero fucking idea and I don't even care about that right now. My egg cracked like a fucking month ago and the closest thing to voice training I've ever done is watch 8 minutes of a basic ass tutorial that I didn't even follow the exercises for but now I have a distinctly femme voice I can suddenly switch to. I've been doing it for maybe an hour now and my throat hurts but holy shit what on earth is going on

it's late o fuck right now i got to sleep on this

Obviously I rescheduled the later but now I am approaching the cusp of the 'low on meds' survival horror game. Have been on the fence with how dysphoric I'm feeling and all of the 'am I trans enough' thoughts. NGL realizing how quickly I decided to keep my laser appointment is perversely affirming.

Anyways I might have to book it up to Canada sometime this week.

I hope everyone had a great week! Hang out. Chat. Talk about what's going on. Have fun :3

gimp + sketching + stable diffusion

now with more bisexual lighting

I love you all and if anyone needs some affirmation in the comments, let me know. And if anyone could explicitly refer to me as a woman I would love that.
