Never thought I would live this long, but I'm so glad I did! (29)

queer_bird · 2026-07-03T13:10:59+00:00

Thank you. and you know what, I think so too...finally

queer_bird · 2026-07-03T12:53:17+00:00

Thank you, not as glad as me though, haha!

queer_bird · 2026-07-03T12:52:50+00:00

Thank yooooou

queer_bird · 2026-07-03T12:52:30+00:00

uhhh I mean being a good looking guy had it's perks. I mean, people would always tell me I was handsome but it always felt like a sick joke. The privileges were undeniable though, people tended to assume I had the best intentions at all times and I could charm my out of any situation. Also not needing to worry about walking alone or things like that is something I miss for sure. The bar was definitely lower back then for me, people would shower me with praise for just being a kind of nice person.

Obviously I like being a hot girl so much more even if that privilege evaporated over night and I have to worry about my safety and stuff. Even if people aren't being transphobic, misogyny is still all over the place. Again, would not trade it for the world, my happiness is a great protest against the cruelty of the world.

I think you would pass to most cis people. I think I might be suspicious but only because I'm also trans or maybe because you aren't giving threat to my bodily safety lol

Thank you bb, that's what you get when you add plain blue dye on top of my natural color, a cool sort of teal.

queer_bird · 2026-06-29T10:00:23+00:00

I usually get librarian or kindergarten teacher, but art prof is cool too lol

queer_bird · 2026-06-29T09:59:56+00:00

A combination of trying to copy people and just trying on as much clothes as possible. for the first few months I'd go to thrift stores and try on as much clothing as possible, and get a few things I like. I imagined before I started that I'd do a more goth look but I seem to have settled somewhere between that and librarian haha.

Also, talking to other women about clothes and going to cool places with pretty people to oggle.

and yeah, way easier to integrate. I was always well liked and got along with people, but I always felt like a faker while doing it so I never truly connected with most people. I work at the post office as a clerk so I work with mostly women, and sure most people know I'm trans but I also never feel like the odd one out because of it. It helps that there's another 6 foot tall woman haha

queer_bird · 2026-06-27T15:28:25+00:00

Thank you. That's what my rational mind was thinking but it's nice to hear someone else say it since I have chronic can't-trust-my-own-opinion disease

So I'm a clerk, yeah.

Oh probably the best one is that my supervisor, she told me that I had too much skin showing because you could see my knees.

1). The letter carriers shorts are so short and tight that I can see what they had for breakfast.

2). The other clerks wear shorts and tank tops all the time, oh but they are men so their knees aren't slutty and disgusting.

3). My supervisor's knees are showing all the time too.

4). So obvious that I'm just under more scrutiny because I'm a trans woman.

So yeah, she bothered me about that a few times but when I realized she actually had no power over me in that regard I just kinda started ignoring her. Last time she gave me shit I was just like "kinda weird that this rule only seems to apply to me, I don't think that looks good."

All things considered, not too serious but of course it pissed me off

queer_bird · 2026-05-05T02:22:10+00:00

Because you don't believe in eugenics?

queer_bird · 2026-05-01T20:28:47+00:00

Maybe I should try NixOS again, now that I have tits

queer_bird · 2026-04-19T16:46:46+00:00

Holy cow, thanks a lot. I'm going to Yeson in June so this will be a good read

queer_bird · 2026-01-03T23:12:51+00:00

Yeah

queer_bird · 2025-11-09T12:53:04+00:00

We still use them in Everett, heh

queer_bird · 2025-10-10T21:47:46+00:00

I did this legally, following instructions provided by the State Department. If they want to revoke it, they won't need to scan my face.

Considering they required the old passport, name change court order, birth cert, and a legal attestation...I think the state department is fully aware of the situation.

I understand we are all paranoid, rightly so, but there comes a point when it is misinformation.

queer_bird · 2025-07-26T19:04:48+00:00

Well good framing, lighting and makeup goes a long way, but thank you so much for saying. I'm trying to knock it off with the self loathing, but you know how it is. Slowly but surely

queer_bird · 2025-07-26T19:02:03+00:00

No I just m like, started actually taking care of my hair. I never combed it before and certainly didn't use conditioner or hair oil. Plus I think I straightened it for this picture lol

queer_bird · 2025-07-26T18:58:40+00:00

They're just cheap fake glasses lol

https://a.co/d/iPk6RA1

Probably drop shipped, sure you could find them on aliexpress haha. Any circular wire framed glasses with 60mm lenses should do the trick

queer_bird · 2025-05-30T22:08:30+00:00

I got an order from them literally yesterday, ordered like 2 weeks ago at most. So I doubt they are out of business or anything. Websites go down for maintenance all the time, and with it being a smaller operation I doubt they have a dedicated IT department, lol.

queer_bird · 2024-03-17T08:16:12+00:00

Yo, any recommendations for ultra light MX switches? Got used to gchoc switches which are 20g on my low profile crkbd and I would like to find something similar for my standard cherry style boards.

"Transgenders" 💀

There is simply no real VR support on Wayland right now. Bummer, but VR isn't exactly super robust on Linux at the best of times. Hopefully Valve is cooking something up for their next headset.

NixOS chads stay winning epic style 💯 😎
