There was another poll that showed that there were virtually no transmen here. Would be interesting if someone researched that.
I think the trans community tends towards privacy oriented tools due to the political climate.
Let me tell you one of the reasons that I’m here. When I was eight I got a pc on my birthday. My sister was on that thing for two weeks using dos and acing grand prix motor. She was given a baby doll which could cry and eat and pee. That goes to show how deeply ingrained these norms are in our culture. How would my sister ever have a chance without a pc? She received the message and didn’t touch it again.
Another thing I can bring to the table is that I had game history and we learned that marketing of games used to be to boys and girls. And in the 80s or so it was figured out that marketing only to one gender group is more successful. That’s when games started focusing solely on boys.
Further, all the game authors were men, which further cements it.
For example I’ve been playing Oblivion lately and it’s almost impossible to find some proper pants. Any pants that I pick up magically transform into skirts and dresses: 1000011965
Sorry about that. Well it’s simpler than it seems. Find a note taking app you like or get a nice notebook. There’s some fancy ones if you wanna make it feel more valuable.
Then imagine being able to snap your fingers and change anything in order to be able to relax right now. Write down a list of these issues. For example:
I run out of money
I have to move for my work
…
Now write down a list of todos. If an issue is too big to be solved, you’ve got to break it down until it does allow you to do stuff easily.
Keep updating this from time to time.
You can also do free writing, and just write anything in any style.
