Hey LGBTQ+ fam. Thanks for being here. All of you. Today is Transgender Visibility Day, so I just wanted post something about myself. I'm not really one for showcasing but seeing everyone else out there and hearing your stories and getting to some of you has been liberating and encouraging.
I maintain a fleet of medical helicopters in California. Particularly, I pay special attention to the helicopter for UCSF children's hospital. I've been working on these machines for 10yrs. I'm a lead mechanic, I'm respected here, and I get paid well for my skills.
I own a home; a fixer upper and I love the endless project list.
I'm the mother of an autistic child. He's growing up so quickly.
I fix, tune, and ride motorcycles. They make me feel so free and light!
Allergy season is gamer season.
I have too many hobbies. I'm never bored.
I'm 40yo. I wasn't able to start exploring my gender identity until I was 32. I started HRT at 37. And I'll continue transitioning at my own pace. I'm 75% fem, 15% masc, and 10% who gives a crap! I know who and what I am. I like who and what I am. I know who and what I want to be in the future and I'm working towards that.
"We Stand As One" In reaction to the recent elections here, in France.

I made a cover of the song that inspired this comic

Literally sobbing. A judge, a US judge defended us. A judge brought up intersex people, using the term intersex, to *defend* us by not allowing our erasure. I'm having a lot of feelings right now
a long time ago, my roommates had an argument over whether or not hamburgers are sandwiches. this actually got heated to the point of one of the guys having to get upset and walk away because he was convinced that hamburgers are not sandwich, but instead their own classification of food.
people will pick any hill to die on- we as a species cannot 100% all agree on the definition of anything. that's why we can't agree on the definition of gay, queer, lesbian, trans, bi, pan, aromantic, asexual, etc. because we as a species just can't do that. we all have a unique perspective on what concepts are and what they mean.
if we can't agree on whether or not a hamburger is a sandwich or not, i think it's best if we learn to agree to disagree on what the "true" meaning of gay, lesbian, trans, queer, etc. are and just let people live their version of that identity in peace. at the end of the day it literally doesn't matter if you don't know if a hamburger is a sandwich or just a hamburger- you're still going to eat it and gain nutrients from it.
a trans person having a different definition of trans than you, or a lesbian defining lesbianism differently than what they've been told, or any other type of queer person defining their identity in their own way isn't a threat to you- at the end of the day, it doesn't stop them from being trans, a lesbian, queer, or whatever. disagreeing on the definition won't stop it from happening; it's just petty. not every hill is meant for someone to die on. let go
Happy anniversary, Stonewall riots! Stay revolutionary!
