I made it work by leaving tech and going into ecological work

Unfortunately I got my knee hosed up so I had to move back into engineering for a bit

best decision I ever made was overruling my parents’ decision to go to a weirdo in Miami for an orchi (it’s complicated) and finding an actual reputable professional

Is your t blocker Spiro? You can safely work up to 400mg, though with your surgery closeish it might not be worth it.

critical trans bug in macos

if you have a user account that’s tied to an AD server, delete it, and create a new account (say, to remove your deadname from the computer), it breaks FileVault because the deleted account takes the access key with it. with no access key, you can’t grant anyone else an access key.

I had to do registry haxxxx to get windows to let me change the name of my user directory. It does not do it when you rename an account.

you just change the path reference and rename the dir manually AFAIK, provided you’re not an AD. if you are just log into a new machine to see what’s carried over and decide whether that’s enough. it’ll have your new name as user dir.

Yup same - except for the penis bit... it's like a sudden "Oh, that's why people make such a fuss about it" revelation.

being ace is fun, especially when you're < 18 and your parents don't bother to understand why you don't have a girlfriend or any interest in sex or romance and begin suggesting Things

i eventually stopped being aro a few years ago, but i've never had and continue to lack any interest at all in actual intercourse, no matter what parts or bits are involved

i think "queer" works better and doesn't inadvertently exclude people or group them into "and the rest"
