t4t - trans for trans = two trans people dating

polycule = polyamory, but not every person is dating each other. For example, in a 4 person polycule, maybe person a, c, and d are romantically together, but person a doesn't date b. Person b ONLY dates person c. Etc.

Some people make memes/jokes about polycules, like "The weakest one of the polycule gets kicked off the island" and stuff like that, or this fascinating Tumblr heritage post (links to RedLib instance) about a polycule commune cult in Portland.

So in this case the OP feels that using NixOS is like being in a polycule with a bunch of trans people, or that it will encourage you to transition and join a polycule.

    Polycule doesn't necessarily mean everyone is dating everyone else.
    If you look at a molecule, typically you'll have clusters where each node is connected to each other node, and a branch or two reaching out, maybe with other clusters here and there.

    Yeah, that's why I said:

    Funny though, your comment made me finally realize why it's called polyCULE. I had no idea it came from molecule.
