    This is the third time I’ve seen a meme like this and I’ve been really tempted to slap a link to my facebook profile here and link to my lemmy profile on my facebook page. To feel cool for spiting random people on the internet. Most of my recent facebooks posts don’t get seen by anyone as far as I can tell, even though I put everything to public. So I think it wouldn’t even get noticed.

    But I don’t feel like having to explain being a trans woman to my friends and family even though they probably wouldn’t see the post or read anything in my profile. I think they would even be supportive. I’ve told two people and it’s been fine. I haven’t come out to my D&D groups either even though there is an openly trans man in one of them and both are queer friendly spaces. It feels weird to out myself, or even bring up the topic naturally in conversation. And it’s not like anyone in the D&D groups asked me about my pronouns.

    I guess self preservation is another reason I’m not being openly trans. It seems like a bad idea given the fascists in the Republican party. It feels like I might end up in a death camp. =(
