L.J.'s victorious sword-dance

Can confirm from the cis side that what @oddtail says about cis people is true. Like I don't even have strong genderfeels as a cis woman, nor am I super femme, but I would never ever willingly transition. Can't speak for all cis people obviously and there are outliers and exceptions in every group, such as heavy trauma from misogyny leading to a cis girl wanting to be a man--the detransitioners terfs love to use for scaremongering, but the truth is most who detransition aren't cis but rather nonbinary. However, it is by far not the definitive experience of a cis person to want to transition or be indifferent about transition, we will fucking fight the idea that we are anything but our assigned gender. If that doesn't describe you then it's definitely worthwhile to explore, at your own pace and chosen intensity, what might be up with that.

@oddtail holy shit, that's exactly it! Like all authoritarians, transphobes can't conceive that one can want X for oneself without forcing X on everyone--or the reverse, that one can totally abstain from X while wanting it to be freely accessible for anyone who wants it.

@Aquilahopemage Really hoping this is the year it happens for you! 🤞

@Elizafox@mst3k.interlinked.me rage.love gave both Gargron's instances the axe a while ago. Life goes on and things have been awesome. As I see it, unwieldy, unmoddable mega-instances are not the epitome of Mastodon/decentralized social media but rather an antithesis to the whole idea of decentralization. Cutting off unmoderated instances is a testament to the strength of autonomy and decentralization.

@darius@friend.camp omg omg omg New hometown :blobcatmelt:

@maloki@rage.love @samuteki@weirder.earth unless the post is boosted right, in case it'll show up on the federated timeline in the boosting instance? But still not in local or hashtags.
