Maybe the loss of third spaces and the commodification of living has turned the joy of the human experience and connection into something unachievable by many.

In my case I was a child in the 90s. I wasn’t really exposed to the information until MySpace. I still knew I was different as a young kid, but I didn’t have the information and words to describe it or environment to explore it in.

Today I teach it to my 3 year old class, and I know in at least one nearby primary school they have non-binary toilets and have some education on gender. But I’m also in Australia.

Further down in this post I have linked to studies showing 97.5% of all 8 year olds remain trans and know by the age of 5.

We understand ourselves as children far better than you give us credit for.

Just leave us alone. Our only problem is not being taught the words to describe ourselves and that we can transition.

Except we do make this choice as children.

The ones who won’t leave the children alone are the freaks who try to enforce cisnormative gender expression onto children.

Please just leave the kids alone and let them continue to exist as the trans kids they are.

Because they tell us, and we listen.

As studies show children begin to understand gender by ages 3 and are generally fully formed by 7. With ‘Affected transgender individuals are usually aware of its existence by the age of 5 years.’.

From here children are hopefully able to begin treatment, through social transitioning. Where studies show that starting transitioning at a median age of 8.1, 97.5% remained transgender either in a binary or non-binary identities.

Shocking to nobody, we understand ourselves and know we are trans from very young ages.

Not only does this align with my own lived experiences as a trans woman, but it matches what I have seen in my 10+ years of working in Early Childhood Education and seeing other trans children begin to identify themselves and maintain said identity up into their teens.

Oh and I’m downvoting you because your post doesn’t deserve attention, and is clearly being asked from an antagonistic and transphobic angle.

I used to be able to buy 4L of cask wine for like $3AUD back in the 00s. Bring back the good times (and my youth)!

I gusss I’ll be Janeway. Coffee is my liquid of choice, so she fits well.

Hmmm or maybe Samantha Carter.

I prefer the pink cans. But they’re okay for an energy drink.

Sadly we are forced to lock-in.

el tigre? Who took the boop?

Nah, mate is as gendered as dude. Like sure some woman won’t mind, but it’s mostly men being called mate by other men.

No straight man is going to be like “I had sex with my mate” when talking about say a fwb.

Sh.itjust.works is one I think in terms of not defederating.

A big issue with not doing moderation is it pretty much leads you to becoming a Nazi bar and getting defederated by others.

You can post racist drivel here, it will just be rightfully treated like it is.

What you can’t do on mainstream platforms is post leftist content, which you actually can here. Like Lemmy was pretty much invented because leftists got their comm banned from Reddit. They routinely censor us, like with Meta shutting down countless queer pages and spaces as of late.

The other comms are probably a site wide ban, they often show up as only a few subs in the modlog for some reason.

And this is why you don’t eat a fairy circle.

My niche forum split off from a comic about RPG games, eventually they moved to a FB group to keep contact but I stopped using FB. I dreamt about them a few nights ago, I miss the community we had.

Taxing them is not enough. The capitalist system will continue to enable them to amass power and wealth to overturn any limit on their power in due time.

We must remove the concept of money, private ownership, and wealth in it’s entirety.
