Just another neurodivergent techie. Expect to see me talk about computer networks, feminism, human rights, and autism--and how they are connected. Delcared un-American by the US government.
"If you are currently in a straight marriage, one partner must transition genders" is a core demand IIRC. TRANSGENDER FOR EVERYONE!

Also, queer representation is down right now, in a culture that’s increasingly hostile to us. So we need more stories beyond the pattern of “assimilated queer couple, likely where one dies”. We deserve a wider range of queer lives on screen.

I will say the customs agent kinda looked at me with a “you are one of those who fill out the declaration form extremely literally instead of just checking no because when we say ‘more than $900 of goods’, we don’t mean that”

This misogyny is distinct from, but parallel to, the "they all look the same" racism. Men with the same first name get to be different people. Women often don't.
Ya, it's probably usually unintended/unintentional. But it's still misogyny. 2/2

I can deal with unfamiliar food. But need a “base” (like a hotel room) I can retreat into and not have to deal with people. and I will second others in saying bathroom access. Also I require the same human rights (or better) that I get at home.
