mastodon 4.7.2+glitch.techlgbtTrans woman (she/her) and mom; call me Sam! I am #AuDHD.
A former physics professor cast off by an arrogant college administration, I am now trying to find a front-end or fullstack developer job (and feeling very alone in the process).
I also love singing, and have a lot of fun transitioning from "tenor" to "alto" in my chorale. I'd love to talk to other transfem folk who have done the same thing.

Gender affirmation is for everyone, not just trans folk, is the point I think.

@britishtechguru@techhub.social @charlotteclymer@mastodon.social While it's a common joke to accuse homophobes and transphobes of being closeted queer people, it can also be a little distasteful too, as if to suggest that homophobia and transphobia are entirely the fault of the LGBT community. I for one am not particularly eager to embrace DeSantis as a member of the trans community, thanks.
Most trans women of my acquaintance don't want to appear taller, and if they do wear heels it is to emphasize their legs. Meanwhile, many short men have tried to increase their height (or perceived height) in order to appear more masculine—i.e. to affirm their gender. I don't see any particular connection between wearing lifts and being trans. Perhaps you are thinking of crossdressing doms?

1) Are you sure they're not affecting you? Being hyperaware of ads might make you less likely to be influenced by them, because you associate their message with disgust.
2) Not everyone can control their focus that way—cf #ADHD—which makes advertising an issue of #ableism.

@oddtail Also, while gender feels like a huge deal early in transition, it's only a small part of who you are. If you're mostly comfortable with who you are, then you get to keep being that person, but with more authenticity. :)

@britishtechguru@techhub.social @charlotteclymer@mastodon.social Not so entertaining to this trans woman. But have fun.
