Skinnamarinkstump Linkdump

I'm on a 20+ city book tour for my new novel PICKS AND SHOVELS. Catch me TODAY (Feb 15) for a virtual event with YANIS VAROUFAKIS, and on MONDAY (Feb 17) for an event at KEPLER'S in MENLO PARK with CHARLIE JANE ANDERS. More tour dates here.
It's Saturday and I'm on a book tour, and the world is in chaos, and there are more links to write about than I could fit in to this week's newsletter, so time for a cubic linkdump, the 27th such:
https://pluralistic.net/tag/linkdump/
Let's start with the best thing I saw all week: a 3D-printed, spring-loaded, clockwork chess pawn that uses a magnet to sense when it has reached the end of the board and SPROING! turns into a queen:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSOnnle3zbA
The whole video is a fascinating account of the design process, from idea to prototype to finished item, but if you're impatient and want to skip right to the eyeball kick, it's at 12:27-12:35. And if you want to print your own, the files are $12 (cheap!):
https://www.patreon.com/WorksByDesign/shop/queen-pawn-3d-printing-files-614491?source=storefront
Regrettably, not every tech project is a good one. This week, Google abandoned its AI ethics pledge. Unlike most AI ethics pledge, which are full of nonsense about not accidentally creating a vengeful god that turns the human race into paperclips, Google's AI pledge was actually very important, in that the company promised not to make AI that violates human rights, international law, or privacy. There comes a point where harping on Google's abandoned "don't be evil" motto can feel a little hacky, but in this case, I'll make an exception. My EFF colleague Matthew Guariglia tears Google a much-deserved new AIhole over this latest heel turn:
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/02/google-wrong-side-history
Not all bad technology is evil. Some of it is merely very, very stupid. How stupid? Check out Thom Dunn's Wirecutter review of The Heatbit Trio, a space-heater that uses Bitcoin-mining GPUs to generate some of its heat, very slightly offsetting the cost of warming your room â but at a rate that would take decades to recoup the $700 price-tag. Thom got some spicy quotes from Molly White for this one â possibly the first time she's been cited in a home appliance review:
https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/heatbit-space-heater-review/
Staying with crypto freaks for a moment here, Adam Levitin dissects the cryptocurrency "industry"'s latest chorus of aggrieved whining over "debanking":
https://www.creditslips.org/creditslips/2025/02/debanked-by-the-market.html
As Levitin writes, banks aren't kicking cryptocurrency "companies" off their books because the government wants to punish them. Banks have a very good reason to want to avoid doing business with high-dollar scams that have highly correlated implosions, which is to say, times when everyone wants their money back from the cryptocurrency "company" the bank is handling charges for. For a longer explanation that gets into the nitty gritty of bank supervision, check out Patio11's excellent, detailed explainer:
https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/debanking-and-debunking/
As all the real heads know, "crypto means cryptography," and cryptographers continue to contrive privacy marvels. This week, Kagi â the best search engine, a million times better than Google â released a Privacy Pass authentication plugin, which lets you login to Kagi and run searches without Kagi being able to connect any of the searches you make with your account:
https://blog.kagi.com/kagi-privacy-pass
As an sf/crime writer who sometimes (often) searches for information on committing ghastly crimes and 'orrible murders, the fact that my favorite search engine will be technically incapable of tying those searches to my identity is quite a relief. Read my review of Kagi here:
https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/04/teach-me-how-to-shruggie/#kagi
If you're one of those marvel-contriving hackers, cryptographers, security researchers or tinkerers, you should really consider attending this summer's Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE), 2600 Magazine's (now) annual (formerly biennial) hacker con. They've just posted their CFP â get those submission in!
https://www.hope.net/cfp-talks.html
Well, I have to post this and get ready for this morning's virtual book tour event with Yanis Varoufakis:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkIDep7Z4LM
But before I go, one more link: Kevin Steele's 2005 essay on Hypercard, "When Multimedia Was Black & White," an absolute classic, and a beautiful meditation on the art and promise of early hypertext:
https://web.archive.org/web/20240213190609/http://www.kevinsteele.com/smackerel/black_white_00.html
I've known Kevin for most of my life, long before he helped found Mackerel, the pioneering Toronto multimedia company. Long after Mackerel, Kevin went on making wonderful things. In 2023, he published a monumental act of portraiture â a "sequential art" time-series of panoramas of Toronto's hip, ever-changing Queen Street West strip:
https://pluralistic.net/2023/09/13/spadina-to-bathurst/#dukes-cycle
Comparing Kevin's more recent work with that lovely old essay reveals deep correspondences and the progress of a unique and creative soul.
If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this post to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:

In the late 1990s, Enron, the infamous energy giant, and MCI, the telecom titan, were secretly collaborating on a clandestine project codenamed "Chronos Ledger." The official narrative tells us Enron collapsed in 2001 due to accounting fraud, and MCI (then part of WorldCom) imploded in 2002 over similar financial shenanigans. But what if these collapses were a smokescreen? What if Enron and MCI were actually sacrificial pawns in a grand experiment to birth Bitcoinâa decentralized currency designed to destabilize global finance and usher in a new world order?
Hereâs the story: Enron wasnât just manipulating energy markets; it was funding a secret think tank of rogue mathematicians, cryptographers, and futurists embedded within MCIâs sprawling telecom infrastructure. Their goal? To create a digital currency that could operate beyond the reach of governments and banks. Enronâs off-the-books partnershipsâlike the ones that tanked its stockâwere actually shell companies funneling billions into this project. MCI, with its vast network of fiber-optic cables and data centers, provided the technological backbone, secretly testing encrypted "proto-blockchain" transactions disguised as routine telecom data.
But why the dramatic collapses? Because the project was compromised. In 2001, a whistleblowerâletâs call them "Satoshi Prime"âthreatened to expose Chronos Ledger to the SEC. To protect the bigger plan, Enron and MCIâs leadership staged their own downfall, using cooked books as a convenient distraction. The core team went underground, taking with them the blueprints for what would later become Bitcoin.
Fast forward to 2008. The financial crisis hits, and a mysterious figure, Satoshi Nakamoto, releases the Bitcoin whitepaper. Coincidence? Hardly. Satoshi wasnât one person but a collectiveâa cabal of former Enron execs, MCI engineers, and shadowy venture capitalists whoâd been biding their time. The 2008 crash was their trigger: a chaotic moment to introduce Bitcoin as a "savior" currency, free from the corrupt systems theyâd once propped up. The blockchainâs decentralized nature? A direct descendant of MCIâs encrypted data networks. Bitcoinâs energy-intensive mining? A twisted homage to Enronâs energy market manipulations.
But hereâs where it gets truly wild: Chronos Ledger wasnât just about moneyâit was about time. Enron and MCI had stumbled onto a fringe theory during their collaboration: that a sufficiently complex ledger, powered by quantum computing (secretly prototyped in MCI labs), could "timestamp" events across dimensions, effectively predictingâor even alteringâfuture outcomes. Bitcoinâs blockchain was the public-facing piece of this puzzle, a distraction to keep the masses busy while the real tech evolved in secret. The halving cycles? A countdown to when the full system activates.
Today, the descendants of this conspiracyâhidden in plain sight among crypto whales and Silicon Valley elitesâare quietly amassing Bitcoin not for profit, but to control the final activation of Chronos Ledger. When Bitcoinâs last block is mined (projected for 2140), they believe itâll unlock a temporal feedback loop, resetting the global economy to 1999âpre-Enron collapseâgiving them infinite do-overs to perfect their dominion. The Enron and MCI scandals? Just the first dominoes in a game of chance and power.

Regarding the nft stuff with Laserhawk, can you clarify more on that?
Sure! It's worth noting some of these screenshots are not mine and are instead from a mutual in a server I'm in, but I'll go ahead and have them under a read more.
Here is what I mentioned regarding the contest. Earlier this year in the Discord server, in order to get various merch such as the art book and keychain, participants were required to spend their money. Anything that mentioned Sandbox = NFTs as they previously did a collab with the company for skins in that particular NFT game.
It's worth noting that there was also apparently an ID/call card generator that mentioned minting was involved. Multiple people did not know this and accidentally did that. However, any info regarding it I have only heard tidbits on. If you have further information, feel free to add onto this. I believe it's on the Eden Online site, but I would rather not risk messing with that and accidentally minting anything.

Here is more information on the game via crypto news articles, confirming the game the tweet was talking about is this. Even prior to this, various videos were made of a live event in May on the official Twitter. Here are the screenshots I took at the time. For those, multiple replies are hidden such as here. Note also the 'We want you!' in the banner in the back being the same as the one on the website.
Also, while technically unrelated to you question, a few people wanted to ask me what I meant by the game focusing on the Niji 6 and how that was confirmed. For that, it's because they are the very first thing you see alongside Rayman when promoting the Web3 game on the official website such as here. The video itself shows a PC booting up and a sprite of Red's helmet. There were also articles discussing it further, but have been struggling to find them. Again, feel free to add onto this if you have further info.
With all this said, please keep in mind my intentions are not to say 'If you like the series you're bad' or whatever. It is instead point out the various ways Ubisoft has attempted to trick it's fanbase into supporting a dead, environmentally bad market despite everyone I know being against it. It has gotten to the point where they are trying to bait both the series fans and Rayman fans into caring, whether that be through teasing a nonconfirmed Season 2 or nostalgia baiting. It is disrespectful at best and outright predatory at worst. I genuinely feel bad for those who enjoy the show. I want to spread awareness as someone whose favorite creators ended up also doing NFTs when it was a big thing.

Bitcoinâs 15-Year Stress Test: Why Itâs Still Here & Stronger Than Ever

For the past fifteen years, Bitcoin has been under relentless attack. Governments have tried to ban it, banks have ridiculed it, media outlets have called it a scam, and market crashes have tested the patience of even the most hardened believers. Yet, despite every obstacle, Bitcoin has not only survivedâit has thrived. What makes this decentralized digital asset so resilient? Letâs break down why every attempt to kill Bitcoin has failed and why it continues to grow stronger.
The Battle Against Government Bans
Since its inception, Bitcoin has been seen as a threat to the traditional financial system. Governments across the world have attempted to outlaw or heavily regulate it. China has "banned" Bitcoin multiple times, yet mining operations continue to thrive. India once proposed a full-scale ban, only to later reconsider and begin exploring crypto regulations. In the United States, regulatory uncertainty and crackdowns on exchanges have been frequent, yet institutional adoption continues to rise. The pattern is clear: banning Bitcoin is like trying to ban the internet. A decentralized network with thousands of nodes worldwide cannot be shut down by any single entity.
The FUD That Never Sticks
Bitcoin has been declared dead over 400 times by mainstream media. Each market cycle, the same fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) resurfaces: âBitcoin is a bubble,â âOnly criminals use it,â âItâs bad for the environment,â and so on. Yet, Bitcoin continues to defy these narratives. The argument that criminals primarily use Bitcoin has been debunked repeatedly, as illicit transactions make up only a fraction of its total volume compared to traditional banking systems. The environmental FUD has also been countered by the fact that Bitcoin mining is increasingly powered by renewable energy and even helps balance electrical grids. Each wave of misinformation eventually fades, leaving Bitcoin standing stronger than before.
Market Crashes? Bitcoin Shrugs It Off
Bitcoin is no stranger to volatility. It has experienced multiple crashes, some over 80% from its previous all-time highs. In 2013, it hit $1,000 before plummeting to $150. In 2017, it soared to $20,000, only to fall to $3,000. In 2021, it reached $69,000 before dipping below $15,000. Yet, history shows that each crash is followed by a recovery and a new record high. Bitcoin follows a cyclical pattern driven by halving events and increasing adoption. Those who panic sell during downturns often regret it when the price rebounds and climbs even higher.
The Real Scandals Were Never Bitcoinâs Fault
When major crypto-related scandals break, Bitcoin often gets unfairly blamed. Mt. Gox, QuadrigaCX, and FTX were all centralized exchanges that collapsed due to fraud, incompetence, or mismanagement. Yet, Bitcoin itself was never hacked, nor did it fail as a system. The lesson here is clear: Bitcoin isnât the problemâtrusting centralized intermediaries is. âNot your keys, not your coinsâ remains one of the most important principles for Bitcoin holders.
Adoption is Inevitable
Despite all the attempts to dismiss or destroy Bitcoin, adoption continues to grow. El Salvador made Bitcoin legal tender, a move that was initially met with skepticism but has since gained traction. Major financial institutions, once hostile towards Bitcoin, are now offering Bitcoin custody services and investment products. The approval of Bitcoin ETFs is opening the doors for more institutional money to enter the space. Banks and governments are realizing that Bitcoin isnât going awayâso instead of fighting it, theyâre trying to integrate it.
The Future: Bitcoin is Inevitable
Bitcoin has faced every attack imaginable, from government bans to market crashes, misinformation campaigns, and financial scandals. Yet, with each challenge, it becomes more resilient. The hardest money in history is still in its early days, and those who understand its value are positioning themselves ahead of the curve. The real question isnât whether Bitcoin will surviveâitâs whether you will be ready when it takes over.
Tick Tock, Next Block.

Todays rip: 15/02/2024
Corridors of Vine
Season 6 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume FF
Ripped by Heboyi
youtube
Right, okay, we've had a good streak recently of covering more "traditionally good" rips for the blog - arrangements and remixes like NIGHTMARESCAPE ăUnrestrained HyperCam 2ă (Final Boss Phase 2), genuinely good arrangements like mlp racism anthem (comix zone arrange), even the premiere of a new Season with the Magolor's Shoppe Fusion Collab. I think its about high time we change the clock to something "stupider" - the kind of rip that reminds you just how much SiIva is driven by the wild imagination, skill, and commitment-to-the-bit of its contributors. Only within a community like SiIvaGunner's will you get something like Corridors of Vine.
With memes as a whole, there seems to exist some sort of...invisible hierarchy that defines their public perception, that I've always found really fascinating. It's not impossible to understand why this hierarchy exists: Memes like the Hampsterdance in Wario's Hampster Mine, the Sparta Remix in THIS. IS. SOLEANNA. and more call back to a different, more innocent time in internet history, wheras memes like Despacito in Plains of Des-passing-to and It's Everyday Bro in It's Everyday Lake are oft met with comments like "I hate that I love this", or other similar sentiments. Memes generally follow a trend where, once one has worn out its period of inferred relevance - typically once it stops being a niche internet activity and spreads to marketing teams and unfunny people in general - its labeled as "dead" and unwanted, left as a relic of a smaller period of internet activity. That is, of course, unless it gets brought back into fashion by virtue of nostalgia and given some sort of new spin, as we've seen happen with Doge as of late - until that then too becomes co-opted by unfunny people (this time crypto-grifters) and the cycle begins anew. Yet part of what makes SiIvaGunner as a channel so great, is that very few of the memes it uses ever reach that state of abandonment: the team is so good at finding new, inventive ways to use memes as old as from Season 1, to where they rarely feel stale. And if they do feel stale - well, then that can ironically become part of the joke, playing into just how samey and played-out the joke is for a sort of ironic appeal.
All of this is to say, that I always find it immensely funny whenever the team decides - seemingly at the drop of a hat - to begin using memes that have been thoroughly labeled as dead for years by that point. A meme like the Harlem Shake didn't have so much as a pulse by the time Season 6 rolled around even past its sole revival to relevancy a few years back from being attached to Ajit Pai - yet The Harlem Shakeover of that very season was one containing over THREE HUNDRED rips utilizing the joke, next to none of which were made with the intention of sounding bad. Funny enough, then, that one of the first events we'd see during that same Season would be doing the exact same thing to a meme that's likely far more loathed than the Harlem Shake ever was - Damn Daniel, the core joke to Corridors of Vine.
Damn Daniel is perhaps the closest we've ever gotten to having a meme that felt like a social experiment - a complete non-sequitor of a joke starring an average, marketable teen and his immaculate footwear. At the peak of Vine's age of randomness humor, the series of various videos on Daniel's Vans absolutely blew up - and immediately, there were cynics from outside of Vine, older internet dwellers mainly, who made a big point about how lacking-in-funny the videos were. Yet the guy, Daniel, made it onto the damn Ellen Show of all things within mere weeks after his debut, and in a way it kind of made Damn Daniel a symbol for everything considered wrong about Vine: its mainstream appeal and focus on short, memeable videos had created a form of shitposting that...no longer felt like they were part of a community.
That is, of course, just my summary of the opinions I gathered from all the way back in 2016 - back when SiIvaGunner itself was first revving up into gear. And I find it so incredibly befitting that it was during Season 6 that the Damn Daniel event occurred on SiIvaGunner - the Season all about letting go of the past. To have it begin with SiIvaGunner, itself a 2016 meme, acknowledging its near polar opposite made around the same time: A meme that was, for a solid while, one of the most wanted-dead memes of all, one that the internet as a whole frankly felt a kind of hatred toward during what would come to be a rather cynical, hateful year in general.
There's definitely an overarching aura of irony applied to the anniversary celebration's rips regardless, of course - part of the joke with Corridors of Vine is that its using a song otherwise so closely enveloped in emotion and vulnerability (one SiIva itself used to similar effect with æăźćć» ïŒver. CCCïŒ), alongside a joke that's so bitterly remembered that its mere inclusion makes it difficult to take seriously. Yet Corridors of Vine takes itself as seriously as the concept could be, it is a genuinely fantastic YTPMV using several of the famous Damn Daniel Vines in conjunction with one another, resulting in an infectiously catchy combination of lead- and backing melody instrumentation. I do think the commitment to the bit worked excellently, and the comments of the video itself appear to agree with me - despite how beloathed Damn Daniel itself was, the time to properly acknowledge and accept it had arrived, and we were for once actually...enjoying the meme?
To circle back to the point made in the second paragraph here - the truth is, there are very few memes that wind up actually full-on dead for long. Dead memes as a concept are a label we put upon jokes we feel have ran their course, yet especially in the world of YTPMV there will always be people out there able to prove the naysayers wrong, even if the intentions are purely ironic. Ironic or affectionate, the end result is the same, isn't it? You've got a smile out of your audience through your work in adapting the meme! And through all the comments expressing their concerns over returning to the hellscape that was 2016s meme culture, those smiles - even through the barrier of the internet, felt as if they were shared by all of us. The entire event - and Corridors of Vine in particular - showed Damn Daniel a sense of affection it likely hasn't had since the days when the SiIvaGunner channel's name began with a G.
Here's to 8 years, Daniel.
...Stussy man, Damn.

Yaroslav Ivanovâs Vision on Bitcoin Shortage and the Role of Financial Giants

As the cryptocurrency landscape evolves, a significant trend has emerged: a potential shortage of Bitcoin. This challenge has been magnified by the increasing participation of financial giants such as BlackRock, whose foray into the Bitcoin market signals a seismic shift in institutional adoption. With demand increasingly outpacing supply, the implications for both institutional and retail investors, as well as the broader financial system, are profound.
At the forefront of the blockchain industry stands Yaroslav Ivanov, Chief Visionary Officer (CVO) at ALTA â Blockchain Labs. With 9 years of experience working alongside top projects in the CoinMarketCap Top 30, he has played a crucial role in shaping the industry through consulting, strategic partnerships, and the selection of promising startups for investment.

Recent reports indicate that Bitcoin ETFs have accumulated 247,018 Bitcoin since their inception, nearly doubling the 124,212 Bitcoin mined during the same timeframe. Yaroslav Ivanov interprets this widening gap between demand and supply as a significant indicator of the future trajectory of the cryptocurrency market.
Yaroslav emphasizes that this accumulation by financial giants marks a pivotal shift in market dynamics, which individual investors must closely monitor. While institutional participation lends credibility to the market, it raises concerns regarding potential monopolization and accessibility for smaller investors. He stresses the importance of maintaining a balance to ensure that individual investors are not overshadowed by the dominance of major players in the space.
Currently, Yaroslav is focused on analyzing market trends and gathering analytics for reports in collaboration with investment funds. His insights into these evolving dynamics aim to support informed decision-making for both institutional and individual investors, contributing to the responsible growth of the blockchain industry.

The increasing influence of financial giants on the blockchain industry is becoming increasingly evident, reshaping the landscape for influential blockchain companies and contributing to the ongoing bullish trend in the cryptocurrency market. As institutional investors pour capital into blockchain technologies and digital assets, their participation signals a growing legitimacy for the industry. This influx not only boosts the confidence of retail investors but also propels the development and innovation of blockchain projects. However, as major players gain more power, there are concerns about the potential monopolization of the market, which could impact smaller companies and startups. The balancing act between institutional involvement and maintaining an equitable playing field for all market participants will be crucial in determining the sustainability of this bullish trend in the crypto space.
This perspective highlights the ongoing evolution of the cryptocurrency landscape, where the interests of both institutional and individual investors must be harmonized to foster a healthy market environment.

Games and Gender
(Apparently I'm gonna occasionally be using the tumblr for the sort of thing I used to put in my political blog, back in the ancient days when I had a political blog.)
I am used to being the only presumed-woman in the game. (I wish I could remember Sunflower's acronym, something like people-socially-classed-as or something like that, but I can't. Or is that it? Maybe!)
It's actually not as true as it feels like; probably the majority of games I've been have had multiple women at the table. One of my current games (that started in the quarantimes) has one cis guy involved *at all*. (Also in that one when I proposed a trans character the GM made sure to have a Little Talk with me to be clear on whether I was doing so from an in-group or an out-group perspective.) Board game night was pretty gender equal (partly because sensible gamers marry other gamers, heh).
But my tabletop group that's been running on and off for... I'm not sure how long but it's over fifteen years because it settled *at* my house when I was pregnant? Men, and me. That high school game group where I started? Usually mostly boys, an adult man, and, again, me.
Raiding World of Warcraft? Either my housemate or I spoke up in Vent once, and a hush went over the chat, and someone said, in stunned, hushed tones, "There are _girls_ here."
Even back to childhood, there's the thing where my brother got the Nintendo, and I did not. (We did inherit an Atari from our cousins and that became my default console. Which is part of why when some crypto-gamergater tried to suggest to me that maybe there was a valid point and "girls" really don't play those sorts of games I went off on an enthusiastic ramble about Joust, which made him withdraw from the field, though he did not turn into an egg and/or fall in the lava.) My parents, I guess, didn't catch on that the thing I most wanted to do when over at certain friends' houses was 'play their computer games'. (They did give me basically the entire works of Infocom one year, though.)
I didn't particularly want games to be about gender. And I don't have any of the horror stories I hear about - the sexual harassment at the table, either of the player or of the character, for example. But it's not like the surrounding world gives a shit about what people want, in it, is there?
Because all sorts of things wind up being about it.
In my teens, I hit on the time-honored tradition of "work through some of your shit by building a tabletop roleplaying character around it", and I made a character in part around my desire to work through some feelings around my experiences of sexual violence. (As is often the case for this sort of thing, she'd been through worse than I had. As is also often the case for people in that situation, neither she nor I explained this bit of the backstory to anyone that I can recall.) And one of the other characters at the table, played by a boyfriend of the time, came on to her, and it went ... badly all around. And afterwards, he asked me, from his tone I guessed faintly offended, "Explain Hellcat."
I don't remember what I said. I do know that I was not at a point in my life where I could talk easily about having been assaulted. I do know that I was worried that if I brought up that this was part of her backstory, I would get asked uncomfortable questions like "Why would you include that in a character's story?" from someone who had had no reason to think about how that sort of thing is a part of many, many people's stories, and imaginary people are not actually an exception.
It was in her story because I was trying to work through what it meant that something similar was in mine.
(I note: this was literally years before a particular conversation with an assault survivor made me feel I had actual permission to be fucked up by my own event. I wasn't even there yet. I was just trying to process it. It was a game. I could explore ideas. In the long run, I could experiment with what it was like to figure out how to be loved after a traumatic event.)
I don't always build characters around particular experiences, though of course they all have a bit of me somewhere in them. But there are these niggling things like that conversation where I wind up just... aware. Not generally as blatantly as "Explain Hellcat." But.
And I mean, once the Warcraft guys got used to the idea of 'there are girls here' they weren't a problem. But they still had that moment of shock, of almost disbelief, that's one of the reasons I'd heard of people saying they never raided, or never spoke on the raid chat. At one point I was out on a male toon (I tended to roll up a male and female character for each species) and noticed that the conversation was about female gamers in the regional chat, and I felt like I was an infiltrator.
And of course I had a slowly increasing awareness of my own dysphoria, putting pieces together over time, and increasing irritation with the boundary-policing of gender and a whole bunch of other things that one might expect come out of having a hobby for a while (see also back in the ancient days when I had a political blog) of arguing with TERFs recreationally. Which is a whole different topic. But it comes around to a thing that's been annoying me for _years_, which is why I wrote [gestures upwards] all that right now.
There was a survey that came out after I started considering myself nonbinary. And it was asking for participants who were women in gaming hobbies. It was very, very clear on being trans-inclusive, by which I mean it said "this survey is open to anyone WHO IDENTIFIES AS A WOMAN".
Which I did not.
Did I have experiences that were likely relevant to "women in gaming hobbies"? Oh hell yeah. I've noted a few of 'em up above there.
Was I welcome to answer the survey? By the reading of the rules: nope. (Was I allistic enough to answer the survey despite it explicitly excluding me? Also nope.)
Which loops around to one of those transmasc experience things that I have also seen other people talking about: the need some people have to make the experience of gender clean-cut and clear in ways that it very much is not and cannot be.
I don't have the socially preferred "always known" narrative, and even if I had had it, there are places it wouldn't have fucking mattered. (Certainly not with an adolescence in an environment where I don't think I heard the word "lesbian", even, let alone got any information about the existence or possibility of trans people. Nobody was out at my school, about anything. And even if I'd known I'd have had no idea what to do with the knowledge.)
(And I *didn't know*. The puzzlepiece-shape of 'socially uncertain straight girl nerd' and the puzzlepiece-shape of 'autistic gay(?) transmasc/nonbinary nerd' are actually very similar puzzlepiece shapes and how the fuck am I supposed to tell the difference between "I don't understand this social thing" and "I don't understand this social thing (because it smacks of gender, specifically)" anyway? Certainly not at fourteen in the early 90s! I've been making "I was behind the door when they handed out the manual for that gendered expectation" cracks for TWENTY-FIVE YEARS. And I can date it that precisely because I started articulating any of this stuff when I was on usenet!)
Until I was, like, thirty, I was, as far as I *or anyone else* could perceive, an awkward straight girl/woman who could really have used learning words like "asexual" that didn't hit my social environment until notably later and who had a focused interest in queer-lens readings of Christian theology despite being neither queer nor Christian. That's the life experience I had. And there's eggy shit in there, sure, I noted some eggy shit *right in that sentence*. That doesn't change the nature of the internal experience and the external perception. Then it was a decade of increasing anxious exploration of gender and what I was, including an extended roleplay of a gay cis man (Kinsey 5, not 6, but) that grew out of some fanfic writing I was doing, which led to discovering that his skin was much more comfortable than mine to inhabit.
I still don't know what I am. I have anxiety about whether my transmasc nonbinary ass is male enough to be gay; whenever I'm doing an intake questionnaire or something that asks me about orientation I just sit and. Stare. For a bit. Because I don't feel entitled to claim 'gay', I haven't been there, my adolescence was not that, but I damn sure ain't straight either. (Anymore? I didn't have the internal experience of doubting it back when. The closest I got was noting an attraction to geek-as-gender masc people, as a geek-as-gender person; my wisecrack for years has been that I'm exclusively attracted to engineers and MIT students.) I appreciate it when these forms have an option for 'queer' because at least that doesn't ... require me to chop up my life until I can arrange the parts into something that has simple words and a simple, clear narrative that can elide my actual history.
And that's what people want, a lot of the time. If a trans man doesn't disavow his experience as a girl and a woman (whether or not he was aware of the disjoints there), he must not be "really" a man. If he tries to speak on his experiences with gendered nonsense or misogyny, he's speaking out of turn. He can either have credibility as himself *or* credibility as a person with a past, and because of that tension he can't _really_ have credibility as either, there's always that half-spoken "butâ" that comes in.
If I speak as a woman about the gendered experiences I have had, I betray myself, and undermine any attempts to claim a space as not-a-woman.
If I speak as not-a-woman about those same experiences, then I am told I don't have standing. What I experienced wasn't _real_ whatever, because that only happens to women. (A lie, I will note, even when only said among the cis; I have met male rape victims, including at least one who was raped by a woman. I have met cis gay folks whose experiences with violence have absolutely had a context of feminization.)
The experiences still happened. I'm still here.
But no matter what I do, there's always an excuse to not hear me.
"This survey is open to anyone WHO IDENTIFIES AS A WOMAN."
(I am pretty sure they didn't mean to shut me and those like me out, but I am also pretty sure that to the extent they considered transmasc people existing at all, they assumed that we would be okay with playing at being women long enough to participate. Because the cultural assumption is that we're only playing at being men, after all, and womanhood is where we live, because there are consequences to it that are inescapable. No matter how much we want to gnaw it off like an animal stuck in a trap and carry on three-legged and free.)
Wherever my life goes from here, I don't know. Particularly not in the current moment. But I'm 100% sure that there will be people who are surprised by it, and they might even include people at my gaming tables.
But again back to that time-honored tradition of "work through some of your shit by building a tabletop roleplaying character around it"?
Both my tabletop characters at the moment are fairy-obsessed trans men; both of them have a history of asexuality that is partially linked to dysphoria (though Celyn is also just straight-up grey ace and genuinely baffled by his current feelings); both of them have a primary relationship with a man and are primarily oriented towards men. (Danny is both more gender-flexible and orientation-flexible, heh. Also species-flexible. And an exclusive monsterfucker....)
Anyone who's surprised by anything I do about this hasn't been paying attention. I kind of look forward to seeing what happens. Sometimes a guy's gotta be a gremlin.
