Looking cute as heck fam, love the nails and tbh just the vibes as a whole! As a recently cracked transfem Linux nerd, I feel a lot of similar pics are bound to be in my future lol

Fair enough, no judgement here either way! Unix permissions can be daunting going in, I know I’ve struggled with them quite a bit back when I was learning 😅

Nice, that’s a clean looking setup! Gotta love how flexible Plasma is.

Side note, losing write access to one’s own home directory sounds traumatic lol, even more so when you’re new to Linux. Glad you stuck with it anyway!

I love your attitude lol

Looks super slick, thanks for sharing! Btw, this is the source of your wallpaper in case you want to check out more from the artist :)

Yup, that’s a great one! No ads with adguard’s private DNS either.

I’ve been voice training solo for a while and am always on the lookout for more resources, anecdotes and info in general so I’d definitely be up for it!

As for the wallet thing , it does depend on the payment method at least in my country

Hey, being able to wear wildly impractical sexy outfits with no issues is one of the many superpowers that come with being an anime girl lol

That’s basically the one thing you can’t do right now unless you add another copy to the family iirc, which is fair enough imo

That’s beautiful, thanks for sharing! Hits particularly hard since I came out to my family very recently and whatnot and that’s been the gist of it as well 😅

Also, I was tempted to come up with a trans affirming Ghostbusters joke but it’s too much for my smooth brain tbh

As soon as I saw it was about “the whole gender stuff” I knew it had to be some garbage bigoted take lol

Haha yup, I didn’t connect the dots until I heard some trans folks bring it up a while ago, seen it mentioned a few extra times since. I definitely had some of the body image thing going on too but in hindsight there was some big, unknown discomfort I couldn’t quite put my finger on at the time. I legit couldn’t put into words just how deeply weird it felt to have my chest exposed and it bewildered people nearly as much as it did myself lol.

I (mtf) used to have the classic embarrassment about going shirtless as a boy, took me years to somewhat overcome. Still somewhat feel it these days but I begrudgingly deal with it anyway because my area is warm as heck.

Also always thought being a man was meh and women were fucking amazing and interesting in pretty much every way but that was totally because I was attracted to them and respectful, still totally cis though!

A particularly sad/hilarious one is the intense and euphoric recurring dreams about being a girl followed by inevitably waking up devastated, that’s totally a thing everyone has, right? Right, guys??

Yeah, at the of the day whatever they claim comes from dogma is king so being gay/women having bodily autonomy will always be considered some form of sin, regardless of how much they try to be “welcoming” to the people whose actions they claim are inherently sinful.

As a queer person I’m definitely biased, but I’ve always seen acts like those as empty gestures, a mockery of what actual empathy and acceptance are supposed to be. I just don’t see how those can truly flourish within organized religion as I’ve known it, my way or the highway is how it all works by design so it’s a lost cause as far as I’m concerned.

I respect your reaction a lot. The world would be a much more pleasant place if more people were willing to look past their comfort zone and see institutionalized hate for what it is.

I’ve been done with them for most of my life by now but I really didn’t think they could sound much more bigoted, at least not this loudly. Joke’s on me, I guess! This tacitly endorses several major human rights issues going on right now.

They’ve been saying the quiet part out loud for a while when it comes to gay people while also trying here and there to pay lip service to them since it’s not as socially acceptable to hate on that particular minority anymore. This though, is as official and hateful a middle finger as it gets with no punches pulled, particularly at gender diverse folks. At this point I can only hope it leads to more followers realizing the institution is rotten to the core and distancing themselves from them, much like yourself.

The old classic “I’m way too masculine to transition so I’d never be happy with myself, may as well tough it out”. And in retrospect it was full-on denial, I’m pretty much as androgynous as someone who’s gone through male puberty can get lol

Appreciate the thought, I did take a look but they don’t ship to my country. Amazon, AliExpress and whatnot do so that’s where I’ll try to find a decent enough knockoff lol

Edit: Upon closer inspection, it looks like I was mistaken and they are indeed able to ship pretty much anywhere. I’ll investigate!

Not yet but I intend to get one soon! No Ikea around here, so probably gonna have to make do with a knockoff as well.

Anyhow, I’m boring so I’ll probably just call them Blåhaj lol. Your Gloria is glorious! :D
