It does feel lonely on fedi as trans guy

Not just as trans guy, but also the one who isn’t that much interested in tech (I can learn something for my amateur website, but that’s it).

It’s also kinda interesting that I used to have even some aversion to learning tech due to family trauma (don’t force your own goals on your kids) and misogyny in IT spaces, which makes makes it a bit harder to have joy in learning it (and also it’s fucking hard, I need explanations like I’m 5 or I won’t understand). Though among my all-transmasc family members I’m still the one most interested in IT, LOL.

And basically that’s why I find bluesky more appealing to me lately, simply because I see variety of interests and more transmascs. If I see memes and shitposts in trans communities on fedi, they’re oriented mostly to transfems into tech (which I don’t mind at all, I’m just not the target audience). Despite all of that, I will continue to actively use fedi at least to be the one who makes some variety here :D

    Welcome here! I’m not trans, but I want to say your visibility matters, and you being here makes a difference. If people see you, they’ll know that they’re not alone. So thank you.
