So, my spouse has been exploring his gender lately; he also just built himself a new laptop. Today he told me that he in an attempt to process some genderfeels through metaphor, he made a post on a trans forum along the lines of: "I'm a lifelong Windows user and I think I'm pretty good at it. I want to find out what Linux has to offer but I'm afraid I wouldn't be any good at it. And how do you choose the right Linux distro, anyway? Do you have to try them all?"

The responses, he said, were a mix of useful advice about feeling out your gender and useful advice about choosing a Linux distro.

I love trans people so much

Edit 4/8, in case you don't see the reblogged additions -- my wife is now going by Eve!

So.. general appearance/other shit notes for that 'Sierra' version of Pixie I guess. Because what else would I ramble and post about half hour after midnight.

So, at the time of the AU, she's given enough freedom outside of training and missions to.. almost do her own thing. She has report times, there's standards, there's rules. And she knows better than to break those rules. She's complacent, a loyal dog to her captors. They have no fear of her turning 'traitor' and running for home. Because they know where 'home' is and they know that she knows that those people that grieved for her would be buried next to her gravestone if she made one misstep.

But her appearance + how she comes off to strangers.. That's 100% controlled. Her hair's kept somewhat long, down to her shoulder blades, either loose or in a tight braid. She prefers the braid, it feels more professional, it feels a little more right. Outside of the field, makeup is worn to cover up any visible scars- the scar over her left eye, the one over her mouth; the burn scars on her shoulders and chest.

And she's an excellent actor, hiding her own emotions behind a facade that's become second nature over the course of years, not unlike her other verses. It's calm, complacent, 'falsely' compassionate situation depending.

Also. Reconsidered her callsign of 'Sierra'. Just... I dunno, I feel like I can do better lmfao. Maybe something like Mercy with a sort of twisted irony to it. Renegade, Martyr, or Murphy are all good options too. Really just depends on who I decide ended up taking her and training her up to become that killer. The killer that lets her heart ice over for the sake of a family she can't see again and a daughter she desperately has to protect from that life.

Could I request Medic having The Mom Grip on Scout’s shoulder after the speedy moron almost let a mercenary secret slip while they weee getting groceries?

Three Europeans and two Americans walk into a grocery store in New Mexico.

I hope this is the right meme.

More silliness below.

This comic is the antithesis of the "wtf is a kilometre" joke.

The faces they make when they can't quite identify the type of brown bread in the bread aisle.

You don't know how [insert nationality here] you are until you go overseas and things are different.

Spy obviously has no problems with pretending to know how much a gallon of milk is, he just peeks into his conversion chart notes, pretending it's his shopping list.

I want to think Heavy is completely fine with having to readjust to a new unit system, he just eyeballs most practical things anyways by holding them up and mumbling about how they approximately weigh like a chicken or his kettle bell etc. He's always been living in practical ignorant bliss.

Medic has a peer reviewed meltdown the first time he realises there's no uniformity in "a cup of ____" because every object has different densities. He's diligent about memorising the conversion rates for ounces, pounds, the most common things etc., and recovers ok. He goes through the same stages of grief rage when he finds out about distances and lengths.

Just remember four inches are 10.16 cm and pray no one asks you to specify anything bigger than inches.

Everyone does a mental victory lap when they manage to guess how much Celsius the weather is because they keep forgetting it's Celsius*5/9+32=Fahrenheit, Engineer reminds them patiently.

The true victories are the correct temperature guesses we've made along the way.

One time, a friend asked me if I actually knew how much a tablespoon of flour was in gramms to convince me that metric users also make use of volume based units without thinking about them. But little did she know a heaped spoonful of 405 flour is about 15g and a level tablespoon is 10g.

They claim Oolong just tastes better when it's boiled to 80°C exactly with a Bunsen burner.

You only asked for one scene but somehow I came up with a bunch of other things. This post was drawn across 2 months so the artstyle is all over the place. Thanks for your ask!

Happy tdov to fat trans people. 🏳️‍⚧️ Biggest thing that helped me as a trans kid was seeing older fat trans people. There were a lot of really irritating "advice" posts going around early in my time on the internet with a lot of misinformation in them, but one that I constantly saw (in addition to people claiming you should wear your pants rediculously low or only wear button ups) were posts saying you had to lose weight to transition. Can confidently confirm that is completely untrue. 👍

au where alan uses vr to get into the desktop and like nothing goes wrong until he realizes that he's feeling way too many phantom sensations for it to be normal for vr and a few of them shouldn't even be possible (feeling them even though he didn't see the touch) and when he tries to take off the headset it doesn't come off
