  • Real alternatives would require acknowledging that SA’s social operating system has reached the end of its useful life. That means abandoning the assumption that online social interaction must be organized around drama, hierarchy, and performative conflict. It means designing systems that optimize for different values: genuine dialogue over engagement, collaboration over competition, mutual aid over social capital accumulation.

    Ok, say we buy into the premise of the article, how do we optimize for genuine dialog, collaboration, and mutual aid? Is this something that exists elsewhere online or is it just a list of noble principles?

    The P in JPEG stands for photographic so I guess we shall pronounce it “jayfeg” based on that logic.

    Descriptive linguistic opinion: both the hard and soft G pronunciations are used, with the hard G being more common, but I like the soft G and use it myself.





  • Transition is wild! I already had what I felt was a happy and fulfilling life, and transition just brings it all to a new level. I went full time just a couple weeks into HRT, and changed my online socials 4 months into HRT.

    I finished legal transition around that time, too.

    I started to be cis-passing around 6-7 months? Which is way earlier than I anticipated. I’m still getting used to that, but yes, it’s just been 100% positive.

    I’m also super lucky that my partner is bi (but more physically attracted to women; I am a trans woman). She was actually pretty excited about my transition from the beginning. She’s been suuuper supportive and very into the changes that have occured. I wish everyone could have a partner like her during their transition, she lifts me up when dysphoria drags me down.

    I’m curious what made your egg crack, and how it’s all going with HRT?
