Gregory's ServerBtw today is Trans Day Of Visibility. I'm late as usual, I'm always working on stuff so I forgot! But it's still TDOV and this post counts! I literally sat on my computer all day in Vim, writing code on some asinine build system written in bash.
I'm a nonbinary trans person who likes computers and rants on IRC all day.
I don't experience the same of discrimination some trans folk do; I recognise my privilege that I'm employed by my own company, have good friends/family, a good life. I'm lucky.
I hope one day we live in a world where trans people are accepted everywhere.
Where when a trans person does something great, people focus on that, on the merits of the person, rather than being "weird" that they're trans. Because we're normal people.
For example:
When one of us becomes the first trans prime minister or president of a country, I want you to focus on their merit as a politician. Not obsess that they're trans.
That's my brand. It's how I want to be treated. On my merits alone.
