It is never too late. Ask me how I know.
Earlier in the year I ran one of the photos of me in my elf costume through the "gender" setting on FaceApp and the result came out unsettlingly hot (and also roughly 20 years younger)

I usually start up background noise or something, often checking out what's up on Owncast.directory as I get ready in the morning, doing all the necessary things, and then when I sit down to my desk I start up actual music from my personal library …

I don’t know who it was that had a hold on How To Fly, WYFFH #1, after me on @queerliblib.bsky.social but I just finished my re-read and returned it a week early. You’re welcome! 😇

Somehow, this morning, my phone FELL INTO A HOLE IN THE WALL WHILE I WAS IN ANOTHER ROOM … and, like, that SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE START OF AN AMAZING ADVENUTURE, but, no. I used Find My to make it beep and recovered it. Lame ass reality BS.

We Let AI Run Our Office Vending Machine. It Lost Hundreds of Dollars.
An AI agent ran a snack operation in the WSJ newsroom. It gave away a free PlayStation, ordered a live fish—and taught us lessons about the future of AI.

Trans people (especially trans women, disabled trans folks, & BIPOC trans people) are often engaged with social reproduction (informal labor, care work, DIY HRT, mutual aid).

My eyes are sooooo tired I had to switch to my reading glasses just to see my monitors clearly, and now it's time to back TF away, clean kitty dirt, shower, and then HRT for the week … which will probably bring me to kitty dinner time, and then I might finally get to eat something myself and relax!

In fact, there was a local TV station that broadcast footage of me browsing the web using Omniweb on a NeXT slab, back in the day as part of an interview for a story about some proposed city Internet taxes … circa 1996?
Omniweb was the best, and I used it way back when it was first released iirc by Lighthouse Designs, though developed by Omnigroup, on my actual NeXT boxes!

I think the answer is obvious. No toilet police needed. Just put a chair outside every restroom!
Anyone trying to use the bathroom should be required to self-administer and pass the entirely scientific and completely accurate chair challenge.
