So I'm a few days late, but I found out that it's customary to write an #Introduction, and so here it is <3
Hi! I'm Liz, a #trans woman who has recently entered her 40's. I've been out and open since October, 2021, and at this point feel like a #queer elder.
I'm a Sr. (Software) Engineering Manager with almost 20 years of experience in software development. I also have a few years in there as a Senior Product Manager, but my passion definitely lies on the engineering side of things.
I've been involved in Olympic #fencing for almost 30 years in some capacity, and for the last several I have been an armorer at collegiate, (US) national, and international events.
I am here on Mastodon after deciding to leave anything Meta behind, and realizing that BlueSky isn't the safe haven that it purports to be. I hope all of the Threads and Twitter users that ended up there don't get burned, but I'm not taking my chances with that.
Things I am likely to post about: Trans and other LGBTQIA2S+ rights, software development, vintage/retro gaming and computing, Olympic fencing and my cat.
🚨 URGENT REQUEST - PLEASE BOOST 🚨
I'm looking for names and/or connections of any academics, independent researchers, or prominent figures *anywhere*, but *especially* in #Canada who have at least *some* connection to *any* fields related to:
- #Genocide (in general)
- #Trans Genocide
- #Geopolitics as they relate to trans people
I've been asked to lead a significant and urgent project related to the present crisis, and I've dropped all other tasks to support this. I wish I could provide more details publicly, but these details will have to follow.
- Feel free to either post or DM me names/info or to connect
Remember folks: Stonewall was a riot. And we didn't get the right to marry by asking politely for it.

Democrats in the United States Congress must show they are serious about fighting back and need to take a lesson from the legislators in New Zealand who refuse to let #Parliament ignore their voices. To paraphrase MTV "It's time to stop being polite and start being real" #RESIST

My new debit card is here! My deadname is 100% out of my wallet!
MOST of my mail is now sent to Me as well too.
So much work to get here but feels so much better.
Today I published my latest book, "Black Seeds: Wild Anarchy Growing in the Wasteland". It has three sections: "On Nothing", which discusses nihilism, 'A Queer Apocalypse in the Wasteland" which discusses anarchist, queer, trans and sex issues in the context of patriarchy and capitalism, and "alchemical anarchy" which is my version of what we need to do to survive. Its not a short book but you only have to read the bits that you like.
How are we meant to survive in a Wasteland of capitalism and patriarchal control?
My new book "Black Seeds: Wild Anarchy Growing in the Wasteland" tries to answer that question honestly. It has three sections: "On Nothing", which discusses nihilism, 'A Queer Apocalypse in the Wasteland" which discusses anarchist, queer, trans and sex issues in the context of patriarchy and capitalism, and "alchemical anarchy" which is my version of what we need to do to survive. Its not a short book but you only have to read the bits that you like.
What made you transition?
Well, someone told me to “grow a pair” and I mistakenly thought they were talking about breasts.

Happy pride month! Don't fall for consumerist propaganda from people who would roast s'mores over your body if you were on fire.

Pride Month starts today and why it matters to me.
I didn't come out to a soul until I was 51. Not because I didn't know but because it was a part of me I squashed down. I came out as Queer because the label gave me room to breathe after years of telling myself I was bi but never fully embracing it. I'm honestly still unsure whether I was protecting myself because it felt "safer" to believe a lie or if there was a kernel of truth in it. But since coming out, the "gay part" of me has been the loudest by leaps and bounds.
The real me finally getting sunlight or some kind of Queer Rumspringa after years of repression? Possibly both. What I do know is this: I would have figured it out a lot sooner if I’d lived in a world that didn't fear difference.
I'm not great at writing these sorts of personal posts, but I’ve felt especially introspective after just losing a childhood friend. The second in the past year. One was gay, but still neither knew this part of me until the very end. And that’s not enough.
So here’s to Pride, whether you came out at 14 or 94. Love to all of you, and a knowing wink to the ones who didn’t take the direct road to their truth. Not late. Not broken. Not alone.
Happy Pride Month! 🎉
This month, and every month, we stand with our LGBTQ+ colleagues, friends and acquaintances.
There is still a lot of work to be done to ensure LGBTQ+ people are safe in their communities, but we hope that we can help them build safety on the open social web.

I made a short video to celebrate the start of Pride month.
This is the animated version of the Queen-cover to "A Day At The Races" from 1976, with some additions and surprises.
Don't forget it
