Howdy new followers!

I’m Keira!

Yes, I’m trans.

I talk about lots of stuff but given the looming…. Unpleasantness for
LGBTQ people I’m probably gonna spend a lot of time ranting about those issues so uh, be forewarned.

If that bothers you, move on.

I see a lot of folks saying this will hurt Dems in the midterms and frankly I’m not sure that’s true - if anything, it shows the depth to which people are angry and engaged and wanting to fight these assholes

but it does substantially increase the chance they will be voting for different Democrats

Huh, right?!

Like… some of those memories are my best.

Remember playing system shock 2 all night with my bestie.

Or just 3AM movies and collapsing on the couch.

“Democrats win in fair elections, let me explain why this is actually bad”

Do y’all hear yourselves? We have literal fucking snatch squads operating domestically, we’re starving our own people while we bail out an idiot-run government abroad. We obliterated our own soft power out of spite.

Yet again, I’m baffled why most of you follow me.

For my whining on food poisoning?

Mid takes on being trans?

My rambling enthusiasm for distributed storage systems?

Boy howdy do I love forced outing and mandated disrespect.

This.

I had a million and one little quirks and idiosyncrasies that I chalked up to various things that were actually just repressed dysphoria coming through.
the reason you don't need dysphoria to be trans is because dysphoria can be impossible to realize without first accepting your own transness

If I wasn’t still recovering I’d grab a subway sandwich in celebration.

Anyone else just getting flooded with low follower/high follow sus accounts?

And/or follow back bots?

Lately seems like only about 1 in 5 of new followers (Hi y’all!) are not bots/scams/clout farmers.

Y’all are insanely desperate.

Going into an interview while recovering from food poisoning is a great idea!

What could possibly go wrong!?

it’s an 80-20 issue in the minds of elites but an atlasintel poll taken in the run up to the election found voters overwhelmingly supported the pro-trans rights candidates. highly suggest you root claims about our lives in data, not conjecture.

they’re going to make the entire 2026 midterms about trans kids in bathrooms and they are going to get absolutely dunked to hell

protect trans kids: it’s the right thing to do and you’re going to win
i genuinely think they believe that the they/them ads won the election and not like, anger over inflation

and so they'll keep trying to double down on social issues
i see we learned nothing from the millions wasted by WES

This was me.

I started ideating about turning into a girl by age 11 or 12.

This was the 1990s in rural eastern Oregon-think Idaho culturally.

My only exposure to trans anything was as the punchline of a joke, and even that was rare.

A hint of being queer was a ticket to ruthless bullying….
I mean, you'd think the fact that many of us had these thoughts and feelings in an era when we literally knew nothing about gender identity / transgender subjects would be convincing enough. But these people are not driven by rationality.

Fuckety nope.
The DVD (1996) is now as old as the original 8-inch floppy disk (1967) was when the DVD came out.
