don't blame me, I voted for Kang!
my play would to be to send a picture of Dick Cheney and say this will have to do until they sober up and we can talk :)
cis women compliment (and get complimented on) their appearance all the time. trans women like that too. so yeah, without reference to them being trans, 100%.
but getting clocked sucks, so even if you're supportive and an ally it's not good to make a reference to them being trans unless they've told you. (though definitely don't lie, even for flattery, since we're insecure about false compliments in general.)
but if they tell you they're trans, or if you find out through some way not connected to their appearance (e.g. they show an old ID)... then, and only then, compliments on their physical appearance are absolute catnip. I remember once checking into a motel and showing my old ID, and the person at the front desk said "sorry, he has to be here in person for me to accept his ID" - he thought I was my own sister lol. that was one of the greatest moments of euphoria in my entire life! he was worried he'd offended me once I explained I'd transitioned but I was like "nah bro, you can't imagine how good that made me feel."
Starcraft had some great lines like that too.
ahh what a sweet breath of fresh air.
I needed this. thanks.
is COVID-38 from 13 years in the future or are we just versioning it like web browsers now?
the joke equivalent of a filibuster.
I fucking loved the genetically engineered humans. such wacky guys, and amazing when Bashir starts as the straight-man only to quickly succumb to their unhinged schemes and megalomania. peak Trek.
prison is just super late stage capitalism 😔
my company doesn't even allow passwords. everything is TPM+PIN/passkeys/FIDO2 from company managed devices on VPN... for the "low security" side.
