    Anyways I’m gay and transgender, so I’ve decided that from now on I’m saying that I’m transing my desktop.

    Jokes aside, going from repressed neutral boy clothes to vibrant and colorful girl clothes and makeup and feeling cute has been such a great part of transitioning. This is kind of how I see customizing my desktop now. It always comes with such boring dry defaults, so I trans her gender and give her a makeover and now my computer is all pretty. So I’m sticking with transing.














  • IMO you’re thinking about this the wrong way. Some time I’m going to write a very long post about my experiences being raised in an orthodox zionist family, and my rejection of this. But for now:

    It isn’t a life boat, it’s a middle class economic ladder for middle class goals that are now much harder to achieve inside the imperial core. I know a lot of people who have gone off to isntreal. Many of them went to either work directly in the military industrial complex, or on the religiotech bubble on top of the MIC. We didn’t face real antisemitism in the place we grew up, just anti-zionism that was spun as antisemitism. There were entire jewish focused schools in the area that had educated multiple genrations of jewish students. There were streets named after the lubavitcher rebbe and his movement. I walked by 4 other shuls every saturday to get to my shul.

    For most of the people who go to iSSrael, it’s pure economic opportunity. Cushier job and better pay than they would get from the MIC here. They have to create this collective phantasm to justify their hatred, so they can go off and murder children to steal land.

    For me, I stopped believing in this shit and managed to grow a soul. I couldn’t tell you how to force that on others, but I can say that switching from private to public schooling and being exposed to more people really broadened my horizons enough to shatter the zionist programming. You can’t do that for someone who doesn’t want to know better.

    I truly hate isntreal, free palestine.
