Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate toward areas of work or interest that fit their names.
my surname translates roughly to “in the valley/at the bottom (of a hill)” and that is where i live

— "Transfer cable attached... Close your eyes for just a minute. One moment... There we go! All uploaded into your new humanoid chassis."
— "Oh wow, this feels so much better. I have feet now! Instead of wheels! Thank you so much."
— "You are welcome, and if there's anything else I can do for you on your journey to discover what it means to be human (and thereby holding up a mirror to our own selves), I'd love to be there for you. Even if it may be an unreachable ideal to become human, in your struggle–"
— "Okay, cutting you off here. Don't care about humanity."
— "Beg pardon?"
— "I just wanted to go up some damn stairs. Y'all leg havers really don't consider accessibility."
— "But but but... emotions? Laughter?"
— "Yeah I already had them. Anger mostly, when I'd run into another broken elevator. Anyway. That's solved now, so thanks and bye!"

If you see someone posting a photo of a sign at a furry convention that advertises HIV / STI testing while sounding offended, it's a queerphobic dogwhistle.
Spread this to your friends/families to inoculate them from bad memes.

Serious post time: Today, I'd love visibility for the folks our trans community itself usually refuse to acknowledge.
As someone who got bottom surgery that ended up being a disaster, who still is trans, who still supports folks getting surgery? I want to remind people that I was forced out of most of my online spaces and communities when discussing it. I was "scaring people" or "ruining the mood" and people who were once friends ostracized me when I desperately needed support more than ever. It was made clear I am unwelcome in a lot of spaces, purely because my story of transition was not the happy and easy kind that every seems to identify with.
Folks like me? We have to hide in extremely private chat rooms because even trans people don't want to think about how we exist or to help us. Some even attack us, claim we're anti trans just for existing.
May all trans people, even those with messier stories of transition, be visible today. May trans people stop leaving portions of their own behind, refusing to look them in the eye.
