Hi there, I'm Charlie

Amazing article on time by @holman. 😍

Background

I am a 41 year old transsexual (“trans”) woman. I transitioned from male to female in the late 1990s, when I was 18 years old. I lived the first decade of my post-transition life with my trans status a secret, and I have lived since 2010 with my trans status being public and open.

Mood.

I might recommend using Safari over Chrome for privacy reasons, but Apple the company is a capitalist dick just as much as Google.

Basically, no company is good. But you already knew that, didn't you, my little anarchists?

Write better error messages, nerds!

With reference to Stonewall risks all it has fought for in accusing those who disagree with it of hate speech by Sonia Sodha, Sunday 6th June 2021

As a trans woman of ever-increasing vintage (it is now 23 years since I transitioned as a teenager) I find myself becoming more and more horrified by the levels of transphobia in the UK media, which has arguably only increased since I was young.

Baby woodpeckers are extremely noisy. I know this because there’s a nest of them 5 metres from where my desk is.

Well holy crap.

I hate to make the pandemic a UX/comms issue, but this is a perfect example of how to make communication with the public better. All it took was using a name and not a code string.

This, sadly.

This is why all trans people despise Caitlyn Jenner. 😡
