In all seriousness, how does anyone actually choose an instance to use and keep using it unless they host their own (especially together as a plural system)? Is it just a matter of posting sporadically on a half dozen instances until one (or a few) accounts gather enough perceived momentum and the others drop away?
Moana's frustration at trying to stop yearning for the horizon mirrors the cycle of trying to bury ones gender only to have it keep coming back and hurting us again

She lives her life according to the ideals of her rather who teaches her that it's impossible to shape her genetic legacy!
[actively being dragged offstage] SHE DISCOVERS THAT THE SYSTEM THAT KEPT HER TRAPPED WAS A LIE THANKS TO OLDER WOMEN ROLE MODELS WHO SAY HER HEART DETERMINES WHO SHE IS
Trinity: My name's Trinity.
Neo: *The* Trinity? Who drew the comic about lesbian wolves on the run from the law?
Trinity: That was a long time ago.
Neo: Jesus...
Trinity: What?

Morpheus: Were you listening to me, Neo? Or were you looking at the femboy in the short skirt?
Neo: I was...
Morpheus: [gestures with one hand] Look again.

heckin wow we've been a lot of people (and a few notpeople) today. sleep time though. maybe tomorrow we'll share some stories or poetry if we make it back to mastodon. we're going to be busy making final checks on the data we've been working on pulling out of our Creative Cloud account before we start shutting it down.
I fucking love trans people so much.
I don't know anyone other group who do honestly and joyfully pursues *who they are*, what they want, as trans people. I'm not even talking about in gender. So many of us have, in realizing we can break out of our assigned gender, realized that none of the boxes we are forced into have to apply. We patch together amazing, unique selves out of our real, honest interests and desires. Its so fucking beautiful.
one method by which some new system members arrive
a lot of the time when we end up in intense situations (bad or good) someone new takes over who is a lot like whoever is already fronting, who also is very different in some ways, but who is specifically better at doing whatever we've decided needs to be done right then
it's like scrambling part of who is at front to find a more optimal egg configuration, all while being careful to hang on to what pieces of our values and desires we've retained
a large plural system // endogenic, thoughtforms, traumagenic, polyfragmented // scientific, spiritual, cosmological
