Shifty Pony posted:I've also seen so many trans women talking about always playing as female characters online and messing around with character creation options for hours at a time before they figured out they were trans, perhaps there is something to video games (despite being deeply flawed and full of toxic culture) offering a chance at expression leading to a general tech interest? or just self selection from the communities I see online. video games are a technological product that sometimes give you the ability to inhabit a character of your design with limited if any real life consequences; people who are interested in gender mutability are going to be drawn to that even if they never transition (i.e. i only ever played as lady shepard and my splatoon character is a girl that dresses like me but i still identify as a straight cis dude)

Silver Alicorn posted:yooo I’m a trans lady let me maybe weigh in on this. I liked femshep a lot but for a lot of games I prefer male characters because they aren’t distastefully sexualized or something. let me tell you about my sexy night elf hunter oh yeah, that's the other thing about games i've played in the last few years

cis autodrag posted:are people actually offended by "dude" or "guys"? idgaf about that poo poo and I assumed outrage about it was just a conservative strawman. i've heard from plenty of cis women that those bug them, and if someone said "what's up ladies" to a group i'm been part of i'd probably feel it was intentionally insulting so it's just easier to always say "y'all" or "people"

cis autodrag posted:Well ya men are constitutionally incapable of saying "ladies" in a non creepy way. #notallmen https://twitter.com/ussoccer_wnt/status/617777453210054656 http://the-toast.net/2015/07/06/annotating-the-rocks-inspirational-workout-video-message-to-the-u-s-womens-soccer-team/ quote:0:02 – “Hey, what’s up, ladies?” Do you have any idea how difficult it is for a man in a muscle tank to say “Hey, what’s up, ladies” in a manner that is neither suggestive nor condescending? It is very nearly impossible; The Rock achieves it in the first two seconds. This is a man who genuinely wants to know what is up with these ladies. No one ever told The Rock what sexism is, so he has never once committed an act of it. Please do not tell him about it now. He would be absolutely crushed if he knew.

cis autodrag posted:You should always use a person's current pronouns to refer to them when recounting past events unless they've explicitly given you permission not to. the way i had it explained to me was that we don't say "back when the earth was flat" to refer to the time everyone thought it was flat

Sagebrush posted:it's a question i hadn't really considered before. my face-value assumption was that when a person has come out and asked some people they work with to start using their new name/pronouns, they would prefer that treatment from everyone. one of my friends, when she reintroduced herself to a group of us, straight up told the rest of us that she wasn't planning on being out at work for a few months so idk if you're not sure, ask?

CommunistPancake posted:my now-sister came out to the family in a group text yesterday (none of us knew, though i had some idea). had a pretty stressful time waiting for my parents to figure out what to say in response, but in the end i think they're down with the whole concept. she explicitly said not to out her to any extended family members, so it's going to be pretty lovely having to deliberately misgender her each thanksgiving at my Ayn Rand-loving Fox News-watching grandparents house. i think coördinating your own parallel thanksgiving celebration with real friends and no white nationalist family members would be a good thing to do for her

Avenging_Mikon posted:I'm trying to subtly raise this with my supervisor so that something like this doesn't happen again. Phrasing it as missing people who give us a different preferred name as opposed to legal name. I might have to go directly to HR though. be prepared to have to push the right thing through your department regardless because hr will probably care more about legal compliance than doing right by your fellow workers

Zamujasa posted:there's always the twitter knockoff "mastodon" which has been gaining popularity as a decentralized social media net. my exposure is limited but it's full of queer people. since anybody can host their own instance of it there's also a bunch of queer-oriented ones. yeah even as a white cis tech bro most of the people i read & chat with aren't, it's pretty nice
