Yeah, I heard about that from a podcast the other day. 😞
smh
Can confirm. I play Rimworld. (Though, tbh, my worst habit is accumulating way too many animals. Like, pages worth of named or trained dogs and wolves, plus quail.)

I want an AI in my smart fridge that looks like my dead grandma but acts nicer and suggests I buy certain branded ingredients to make her famous corn bread casserole pie, which she never actually made IRL /s
We used to have a sandwich shop at my office that would do lox and veggies on a bagel for maybe $6. They also had an avocado bagel for $4. They were replaced by a Starbucks in a different building on campus and it's not as good and more expensive.
Same. Sometimes I'll add in a bagel with cream cheese and tomato.
Some libraries also have access to Consumer Reports online, accessible via the library's network (or maybe also via a library card + link from the library site? I dunno, it's been a while since I worked in a public library.)
Sandwich maker! We had one growing up and it was awesome.
Leftover macaroni and cheese makes a mean grilled cheese sandwich filling, then you dip it in tomato soup.

So (if I read you right) the violence isn't done by those that try to pass to avoid negative consequences, but by those that 1. enforce those negative consequences and those that 2. force IDs to fit into their artificial binary.
That makes sense. Thank you for clarifying.
Anecdote that helps me relate to the concept you described: A friend of mine has an extra pinky finger and it used to bother me--like, why hadn't she had a surgical intervention so her hands more closely matched my concept of normal? Then I realized I should be happy that she didn't feel the need to cut off a part of herself to fit in. Like my friend's pinky, trans folk existing isn't hurting anyone.
I've looked up what to put on cards before, or read what other people wrote on the card as it's passed around. Signing cards can be awkward.
