Oh fuck off nutjobs! Ohio’s already got enough interference from the far right in its education system as it is

Electrical engineers hate OrCAD, seriously. I keep a spare file on all of my work computers collecting when I see someone on line saying OrCAD sucks. Brings me comfort when the program crashes for the 5th time that day

The avenues for trans kids is conversion therapy, or the dog-whistle “faith based counseling”; seen with the recent federal insurance ban on covering HRT but explicitly calling out conversion therapy coverage. A practice which is banned in several states but has been challenged by conservatives claiming that banning the torture of kids infringes on their “free speech”

He did such a wonderful job as Bernadette in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. For a 90s movie featuring a trans woman played by a cis man I was worried about it coming off badly when I first watched it, but it was anything but. He played Bernadette elegantly, with class & sass, & a real dimension of empathy.

Model replacement, voice acting update (uses line stitching for existing npc voices - I didn’t notice anything that drew me out of it), and a fully voiced protagonist. She does a great job! Voice Showcase

Played through Deus Ex earlier this year with the Lay D Denton (female protag) mod. It’s amazingly integrated & gave such a fun spin on the existing game

100%. Feel like my dad was only suited for raising kids until they were 10, then absolutely refused to engage with us as teenagers or even adults

Used to tell my partner I wish I was gay to teach my parents a lesson in empathy… Wow did that backfire being trans & gay

Trans gal here! For a time I identified similarly to your last paragraph. I wasn’t sure what I was was, but I didn’t feel particularly male or female. I told people I was nonbinary because I wasn’t sure where I was in that mix for a more specific label.

Eventually I realized that I aligned as more of a tomboy in fashion, but my identity felt firmly female despite my shifts in expression. That was my journey, wishing you luck on finding yourself!

Definitely haha, the book uses footnotes at times to try and distinguish between the cyberpunk fiction & real-world incarceration practices since the two overlap so much

Chain-Gang All-Stars is really good! It’s closer to modern day reality than far future cyberpunk, but still interesting dystopian sci-fi.

The premise centers around televised nation-wide gladiator battles where incarcerated people fight to the death for their freedom. The book has some razor sharp commentary on the US prison system as well as reality TV and profiting off of vulnerable groups.

When I called my doctor to get an appointment for HRT they said their next available was in 2 days, insanely quick.

Yeah it’s sad realizing my parent’s love really was conditional

I came out to him over christmas 2 years ago and that’s the last time he’s spoken to me. His last words to me before he read my letter were “Love you always”

The art style reminds me of Roadwarden, looks amazing!

Yeah, feels like a form of gish galloping

Colorado’s been on a streak of trans wins woo! I’d love to see them pass a bill similar to HB 1971 that got passed in the Washington state legislature. Guaranteeing a years supply of hormones with a prescription would help a lot of folks feel more comfortable with all the shit the federal government is doing rn

Exactly this The Alt-Right Playbook has an amazing video on hierarchical thinking popular with conservatives

That website the HHS put up the other day to snitch on US healthcare providers for trans folks had every single Canadian province in the list as well 💀

Signalis? Especially some of the later areas
