To be crystal-clear:
Topics like #TransRights #Trans #Gender #Queer are no afterthoughts, they are the foundation of the whole endeavor.

#SafeguardingResearch started with me (@lavaeolus) cloning GitHub-repos of 'Mapping the Gay Guides' (with their consent) on January 15th.
After that, I asked my buddy @micr0 to write a scraper for academia.edu, inspired by @bookandswordblog, to download as many things mentioning #transgender #nonbinary #intersex #queer etc. as possible.

The rest is history.

Okay I’ve put off writing and #introduction forever, let’s do it.

Starting with a parade of labels so you know exactly what box to put me in, I’m an #AuDHD (#autistic and #ADHD) #trans #nonbinary #lesbian girl working on #opensource #java #software for a living (subgenres: corporate-owned, distributed data system) with a background in #hardware. I’m married and a #parent of one, though I keep kid offline mostly. I’m a huge nerd that loves narrative media of all kinds but especially #scifi and most especially #TheLockedTomb, as well as classical/ancient texts. I’m fascinated by the ways stories use and are influenced by their medium and process of creation. I’m a practicing #exvangelical #christian working against christian nationalism and the evangelical cult. I play (mostly GM) #tabletop #RPGs and play electric guitar poorly.

Boosts ok.

If you're cool, queer or "leftist" please go like and comment on my videos, so it stops getting recommended to far right/homophobes and/or transphobes:

Homophobes/Transphobes found my YT channel and are dislike-bombing and commenting hateful stuff on my videos. It would be great if you could like, comment, maybe even subscribe to tell the YT algorithm to recommend my videos to more ppl like you instead of andrew tate fans.

Re-toots welcome to reach more ppl :)

#Introduction
Hello! I've been coming out of my shell and been doing just fine! I'm a #genderfluid #nonbinary software dev that likes #spooky stuff and dangerous machines.

I am a proponent of #FOSS (but not rabid about it) and like digging into the mechanisms behind code.

I enjoy playing games that are puzzles, simulations, base-building games, and RPGs (especially #ffxiv).

Even though I don't post about it as much, I also really like sound design, especially how it can be used to influence our state of mind!

I hope to continue to discover so many more new and interesting people and things here!

Now that I've been hanging out here consistently for a week or so I decided it's time for a new #introduction / #reintroduction

I'm Haru, I'm 35, #NonBinary and I live in #Meanjin on Jager/Turrbal land with my wife and #dog. I'm a #CyberWitch and I'm interested in #clouds #birds #insects #flowers #dogs #astronomy #folkmusic #art #photography #media #sculpture #space #philosophy #postmodernism #absurdism #socialjustice #witchcraft #solarpunk to name a few.

I have #CFS and #Bipolar which can make it hard to get out much so seeing so much of the world, so seeing all the wonderful posts here has been an absolute joy.

A few years ago, Amanda Roman challenged the question, "It's just a fetish, right?" and changed the world for a lot of trans people.

But what if it's not just a fetish? What if it's *never* just a fetish?

What if fetish doesn't even work that way?

Come join me this week on #StainedGlassWoman as we look Beneath the Surface at how trans people in denial use fetish to meet needs we're not ready to acknowledge yet.

#introduction #introductions

Hi! I am a former mental health #nurse obviously interested in #mentalhealth living in the #uk #unitedkingdom.

Hobbies include #photography, #gaming (or #gayming as I am #lgbtq) and #reading if I can be bothered! (I go in bouts of #bookworm and then stop) as well as fiddling with #tech as long as it's not too obtuse.

Hoping to find #knowledge, #chats, #memes and enjoy an #opensource #alternative to #birdsite!

I am #nonbinary, #agender

#hashtags everywhere!

Hmm I never did a post an #introduction…

By day I teach hacking at a Uni and try and do research… when my boss isn’t watching I draw Pokémon with boobs. It started as a joke, but then I went mad, and its my coping strategy now .

Got turned down from monetising Onlyfans for being “too confusing” so I guess the fediverse get poké-titties…

I <3 #trolling, #snorlax, #puns, #weirdporn #openbsd and #absurdism

I </3 #bitcoin #bitcoinpeople #jerks

Fun fact: I killed an elderly man with my voice in the happiest place on earth when I was young and carefree.
