new introductions post! I apply some slurs directly to (my own) forehead
it's me, Mads "Legend" Viande. I'm 27, and I'm a genderqueer trans woman, by which I mean I'm a tranny and a faggot simultaneously. I'm gay, by which I mean bi, by which I mean attracted to gay people. sometimes I talk about communism or gender and sexuality but there's really no telling what I'm on about.
I default to not responding to follow requests anymore. please don't take this personally, or any other time I'm prickly or distant, because I will just block and mute you if you get frantic at me and I don't even know you.
but! I will almost always explain anything I say on request, be it a joke or just confusingly phrased.
I know I talk like I'm some kinda academic but I have never read a book in my life, and barring a short list of gay history books or, like, three essays by trans women, I don't know what you can read to better understand what I'm talking about. just talk to me about it! that's how I learn
on the one hand I love it when y'all hype me up, on the other hand some people on here actually read books stop telling the reafos (reading followers) I'm smart
F-slur, rhetoric
I saw a woman of faggot experience say about Contrapoints "it's kind of sad that the New Big Voice in Transness is a white woman with a center part" and someone messaged her like "is it problematic to have a center part?" and she had to explain she was calling Natalie Wynn basic
which is really the saddest thing. don't make fags explain our little insinuations, it's like dissecting a flower

If you’re nonblack and you can’t donate, then you can’t. You don’t have to beat yourself up about it - that doesn’t help you or anyone else. But also don’t attack black people on the fedi for having needs or expressing emotions. Don’t make your limitations black people’s problem.
60 people favorited or boosted my post. If all those people donated €5 to Marcia’s GoFundMe, that would be €300. That would certainly be a start.
everyone in the mainstream shits so hard on concepts like genderfluid and it's so crazy-making because like, OBVIOUSLY some people are gonna identify with these ways gender wraps itself around you when yr gender-variant lol. like people will straight up conceptualize you as vacillating between two genders, or as being shifting in gender, often for the purpose of doing transphobia to you — and then scoff when you call yourself those things. "you can't be GENDERFLUID, that's ridiculous!"
meanwhile I'm out here getting coercively assigned genderfluid at Arby's like, okay ma'am, settle down! what ELSE are we meant to call these phenomena that happen in various ways to everybody who transgresses gender? like 'genderfluid' is just a really apt label for a common way that people will really balatantly treat you under lots of circumstances, and if that's what you're most comfortable with then of course that's gonna become part of your self-concept
@Manurweibling from my thirdhand accounts i think the appeal is that he is a useless twink
@Manurweibling my understanding is that people who are the right age for the Color of Magic books when they read them get an impression left on them, and people who dont get around to discworld until adulthood are stuck with mort and guards guards or something
I haven't gotten that far in Golden Kamooy but I imagine that this is also the sniper's whole deal.
anyway Dank let me read what they're working on for MoonWorks and their big-picture documentation is always delightful to read
have you ever written a technical document intended for some range of pre-existing knowledge/skill, and wondered "what would a complete nincompoop, an utter clod make of this document? if only I knew a dumbass who was very good at explaining where her two brain cells rubbed together too much and caught fire"
look no further, I am the clown you seek
Hey I'm Mads, I'm 27, she/her or fey/fem to be spicy. my handle has usually been @byttyrs. I can explain "Manurweibling" on request but it's a compound of made-up German words.
I'm a bi trans woman, and I'm in an open relationship with my boyfriend, whom I call XW on here.
