Pinned toot

Hi folks! This is my first toot. Finally I found somewhere that I can speak my mind. So, about me. I am transgender and student. I've always felt that I was different from other boys from the time I can first remember. As I grew up my life was really hard because I felt like I had to be a man but I stopped when I realized I was terrible at it. ;D
That in brief is what I wanted to say to you about my past. Now I am writing up a list of priorities for my future. Best of luck to us all!

So folks, the #article13 and #linktax proposals will be going soon to the EU parlaiment, and if they pass they will become a serious problem for the #Fediverse:
* To automatically filter copyrighted materials, even badly, you need a way to reference those materials. Even our largest instances probably can't afford access!
* Our instances will not be able to afford licenses to link to news sites under the new #LinkTax rules.

This is the last thing I'm going to say on that place:

Black people, women, trans people, and disabled people should not have to hide ourselves to avoid harassment.

If you don't want us blocking and avoiding your nazi-land en masse, if you don't want your software to be associated with nazis, come up with ways to stop the nazis from harassing us rather than crying TO US about your precious software.

Give us some confidence in your software's ability to not be abused by nazis. Duh.

Laser hair removal can be a costly and not everybody has doting daddies to pay their bills... And that's how the desperation of poor people is being exploited by money-grabbers:

We don't need another scientific study to boost acceptance of transgender people. We need transgender people to start being accepted in workplaces, in religions, and in families:

Sorry I've been away for a while... Are you still alive?

RT @delaneykingrox@twitter.com: The 'I' in LGBTIQA stands for intersex. We are really common- hi, hello! Precise stats are difficult because definitions are completely arbitrary. But around 1% of the population is a commonly kicked around figure. As common as redheads.

I’m trying to put together a ‘Trans Women of Music’ Spotify playlist and it turns out not a lot of us are on Spotify (not the people I looked up)

So what I did here is I made this playlist a collab so anyone can add to it, but please do not delete people. I’ve made this mainly as a way to help promote musicians and producers who are working their way up (so please don’t like toss 800 Against Me! tracks on here)
